Today is the annual college entrance exam in Korea, the single most important test for high school students. As this is a test that is offered only once a year and is something that will determine the colleges a student will get into, it is considered a huge deal.


The majority of the students taking the exam this year are from the '95 line, and joining their fellow age students are idols and other young celebrities like Joo Da YoungA Pink's Namjoo; Boyfriend's Minwoo, Youngmin, and Kwangmin; BTOB's Sungjae, Hello Venus Yooyoung, 5dolls' Hyewon; MYNAME's Chaejin; GLAM's Miso, C-CLOWN's T.K, SPEED's Sungmin, Big Star's Jude ('94), and more. (Note: not all '95 line idols or celebs are taking the exam as some prefer to focus on their music or acting activities for now. Some are also waiting for their direct college admissions that do not require college entrance exam scores)


The idols as well as all the students taking the exam made their way into testing centers located at various schools around the nation by 8:10 AM KST for the test that began at 8:40 AM and will end at 5:00 PM, with a 50 minute lunch break and a few 20-30 minute breaks in between.


However this day wasn't completely smooth sailing for idols like 5dolls Hyewon and MYNAME's Chaejin, who experienced some close calls this morning! Hyewon arrived after 8:10 AM, which means the schools shut their gates and do not allow anyone to come in. However, with the help of some of the staff, it's said she was barely granted access into the testing area. After the nerve-racking experience, Hyewon said, "I'm really nervous. But I'll do my best."


Chaejin also almost had to give up on taking the test as he lost his test ticket with his ID info on it. He and his fellow member Seyong as well as his managers frantically scrambled to look for his lost ticket and eventually found it near the car. His agency commented regarding the incident, "We were panic stricken. Our heads became jumbled with thoughts like 'do we need to go back to the dorm', 'is he not going to be able to take the test this year now'. But luckily we were able to find the testing ticket and Chaejin was able to enter the testing area with a smile. We were all more nervous today than the times when the group has to stand on stage." 


You can check out the photos that media outlets managed to snap of some of the idols on their way into the testing center below.
