Lee Ji-ah (33, Kim Ji-ah) who admitted to marriage with singer Seo Taiji (39, Jeong Hyeon-cheol) also admitted that she changed her name.

Management chairman Yang Geun-hwan said, "Her real name is Kim Sang-eun and she renamed to Kim Ji-ah later. She started using the name Lee Ji-ah when she started acting".

About the fact that Lee Ji-ah was known to be born in 1981 when she was actually born in 1978, he said, "That is my fault. I told her being younger should be more helpful when she first signed the contract".

About her education, "She went to art school but didn't graduate".

In various online bulletins this day, there was word that she was born in 1978 and that she attended an elementary school located in Seoul, Songpa-gu, Garak-dong then left for America in the middle of middle school.

It turns out she was in middle school from 1991 to 1993. A graduate from the same school told No Cut News, "There was a student called Kim Sang-eun. She was tall with a lean body and pretty features. She was well known to have a nice body line as there were many models in the family".

Actor Song Chang-ee who is also a graduate from this school said he remembered Kim Sang-eun. His management said, "He recalls a Kim Sang-eun from his school. However, he's not sure if it's exactly Lee Ji-ah".

Chairman Yang Geun-hwan saved his words saying, "We haven't been able to confirm if she really is from that school".
