Idols Reveal Their 2023 College Entrance Exam Plans

With less than a week left until South Korea’s annual college entrance exam, various idols currently in their senior year of high school have revealed whether they will take the 2023 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT)!

News outlet MyDaily reported that ENHYPEN’s Jungwon has chosen to forgo the exam, and NewJeans’ agency ADOR has confirmed that leader Minji will not be taking this year’s test.

Both IVE’s Jang Won Young and Liz have decided not to take the CSAT and focus on their promotions instead. Their agency Starship Entertainment commented, “Regarding their college entrance, Jang Won Young and Liz have officially decided not to take this year’s CSAT.” They added, “In the future, we will proceed with promotions while taking into consideration, in accordance with the artists’ opinions, whether to attend school when they are able to focus on college life. We ask for lots of attention and support for IVE in the future too as they greet you with an even better image.”

STAYC’s agency shared a similar statement on behalf of Yoon and J, stating, “Yoon and J will not take this year’s exam and have decided to focus on their promotions as singers for the time being.”

This year’s 2023 CSAT will be held on November 17. Most high school seniors in Korea this year are born in 2004.

Wishing all the students taking the CSAT the best of luck!
