"I did not even know she was a university student."
"If TWICE takes a break in the future, she can still get a college diploma. Even commoners can get readmitted under different circumstances and a lot of people graduate late due to their own reasons, so who cares?"
"Even if she gets expelled, she could still get re-admitted and continue her studies where she left off."
