In the picture, Goo is wearing a graduation cap and holding a bound copy of her thesis. She looks calm and sure of herself. Her post showed that she had finished her master's degree and that she was determined to keep studying. After the post, reports said that Goo finished her degree early, which fans praised.

OSEN says that Goo also talked about her master's thesis, which was called "The Fifth Wall: The One-Person Media Era Formed by Re-projection." The report said that she successfully defended her thesis and graduated early, which is a rare achievement for a public figure who is also working in several fields.

The outlet also said that Goo had shown a lot of confidence during her thesis defense in December, when she said she was going to succeed before finishing the process in just two weeks.

Goo has also gotten involved in business outside of school. AllKpop has already reported that she recently released a patented hair roller that opens up, adding to her already wide range of products. The product changes the way a round hair roller works by using a wave-shaped mold structure instead of metal parts.

It is made of a high-performance polymer composite material that has been finished with silicone lamination. This design is meant to make it last longer and be more comfortable.

The actress has been called "double blessed" because the product launch and her early graduation happened at the same time. She is still changing how people see her in public. Goo is known for being able to do many things.

She has been an actress, film director, singer, and visual artist throughout her career, and she often takes on projects that aren't typical for celebrities.

People want to know about Goo's pursuit of an education because she chooses to go through KAIST, which is the premier Science and Technology university in South Korea and one of the top in the world. Her mention of a potential PhD indicates that she may also continue her education.
