Sometimes, all these students need are warm words of encouragement from their loved ones. And that is exactly what the students of select high schools got while they were taking a Korean language aptitude test.
As they were working down the list of questions on the test, some students' eyes brimmed with tears unbidden. The tears came after they read a personalized message from their parents on the test, placed randomly on the exam as one of the questions.
