Oguzhan Koc (Oğuzhan Koç): Eser Yenenler Made Me Drop Out of School
Singer and actor Oguzhan Koc (Oğuzhan Koç) made striking statements about his career journey on the "Efe Show" hosted by Efe Uygac (Efe Uygaç). Koc stated that Eser Yenenler had a significant impact on his decision to move to Istanbul and focus on his music career, saying, "Eser made me drop out of university."
During the program, Koc explained that his interest in music began at a young age, noting that a children's choir in Bursa was the first step in his career. Expressing that his greatest dream was to become a musician, Koc said that during his middle and high school years, he dreamed of Istanbul alongside Eser Yenenler, Ibrahim Buyukak (İbrahim Büyükak), and Tolga Akis (Tolga Akış). Koc mentioned that he met Yilmaz Erdogan (Yılmaz Erdoğan) thanks to Eser Yenenler and described that process:
I Met Him Through Eser
"I met Yilmaz through Eser. Then I suddenly found myself writing sketches. Later, they told me I should act. I enjoyed it, and the money was good too."
Koc stated that he took some time to recover after the show Cok Guzel Hareketler Bunlar (Çok Güzel Hareketler Bunlar). He then mentioned that they worked to convince TV channels of the idea of doing a talk show as a trio and were eventually successful.
Eser Made Me Leave School
Emphasizing that Eser Yenenler was the person behind the bold decisions in his career, Koc also shared the turning point he experienced during his university years:
"Eser Yenenler is the person who enabled me to take all the risky decisions I’ve made on this path. While I was studying at Dokuz Eylul (Dokuz Eylül) University, he told me, 'Drop out of school, come to Istanbul, retake the exam, and make music.' He made me do many things that seemed impossible to me. He basically made me leave school. It is not easy to do that when you are 18 and in university."
