Kim Jaeseop is a fairly traditional Columbia University undergraduate, with one major distinction - he's known around the world as "AJ," a member of popular Korean boy band U-KISS.

The New York Post has a new feature on AJ and his duel life as a psychology student and a member of U-KISS - which stands for Ubiquitous Korean International Idol Super Star. According to the Post, AJ's "persona" in U-KISS is "the serious one, rapping about girls, girls and more girls."
