  • It broke my heart when the kid said walking is a waste of time. I’m in high school rn but i still cannot imagine going through this, however rewarding the result may be

    What I find interesting is the lack of notebooks just with blank paper for taking notes or writing homework. It seems like in Korea there is a "workbook" for everything where students circle the answer or fill in the blanks. I would go crazy if I didn't have just blank paper to write down stuff I wanted to remember or to solve math problems.
  • As a asian i can relate this pressure . Im doing my entrance exam next year august 😭 im really proud of these students.

    as a student who got a lot of pressure (especially from my parents) I'm so proud of these kids. I also realized how similar is Korea's grading system in our country. its hard but we all got this! hwaiting!!

    "Walking is a waste of time" I totally agree I walk to home after school. I would read something while walking to my home so the time is utilized. people would make fun of me but I never care, atleast this little guy thinks the same as me.

    You should give the students chocolates or something... They would felt happy and encouraged. They gave us their time and also showed their stuffs.

    Almost every Kdrama depicted this! I thought it was exaggeration but lol behold it way more real. Kdrama is very close to Korean Life. I like the way they say fighting you can do it all the time. Encouraging everyone, this is one of the reason I love Korea. Sarangeyo ❤️

    buah you can feel it how overwhelmed by studying they are! I feel sorry for them because life isnt just about studying but when you live in a high competitive society, there is not other choice.

    I like Korea.. But so glad i wasn't born there, i hate studying lol
  • It's no secret that Korean students are among the most dedicated in the world when it comes to studying. They could probably teach me a thing or two about staying focused. On the bright side, I've mastered the art of binge-watching Netflix like a pro.
  • @mellory2337
    Classes and exams on the weekends??!! Damn, I'm glad I wasn't born there

    Think of the past where i actually never used any highlighter on study book cause i got pretty distracted by the color also annoyingly the color seeped to the back paper and ended up just using a pencil to highlight the text. I guess i like to read books but not distracting colorful highlights. If anything i just used colored pen like blue and red to highlights lining the text.
