Seoul: South Korean fans of superstar Angeline Jolie are already dreaming of chance meetings with her following news that her eldest son Maddox will be taking classes at South Korea’s Yonsei University.

According to PEOPLE, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, who turned 18 on Monday, will be studying biochemistry.

“He got accepted to other universities, but choose Yonsei,” a source told PEOPLE. “He has been studying Korean language. He has lessons multiple times a week to prepare.”

According to the magazine, the mother and son visited universities in South Korea in November 2018.

Angelina, 44, will reportedly accompany him to help him get started with his university life.

“Mom is dropping him off in August. She is very proud. She will miss seeing him as much, but he’s ready.”

Maddox, the eldest of the new family generation, was adopted from an orphanage in 2002. His siblings are Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and the twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.

Yonsei University, established in 1957 through the union of Yonhi College and Severance Union Medical College, says it is South Korea’s top private university and that it ranks among the world’s most prestigious universities.

It has 26,731 undergraduate students and 11,994 graduate students.

Its 18^th president Yong Hak Kim says that “in the future, empathy and sharing will be just as important as creative thought.”

“Yonsei will drive the effort to address such an ‘empathetic society’ by raising leaders who practice sharing. For in this society of the future, the pursuit of personal gains will be replaced by mutual respect and the sharing of joys and sorrows with others,” he says in welcoming remarks posted by the university.
