K-pop girl groups IVE's WONYOUNG and NewJeans' MINJI are not taking this year's national college entrance exam (CSAT, Suneung).
According to multiple reports on November 9, WONYOUNG and MINJI have decided not to take this year's CSAT; in order to focus on their entertainment activities.
IVE's management agency STARSHIP Entertainment confirmed, "IVE's WONYOUNG, who is a candidate for the 2023 CSAT, has decided not to take the test this year."
Reports say that WONYOUNG had been deciding whether to take the test for a long time, but ultimately decided to focus on her IVE promotions.
NewJeans' management agency, ADOR, is yet to share a statement regarding MINJI skipping the test.
WONYOUNG and MINJI are currently students of Seoul Performing Arts High School and Hanlim Arts High School, respectively.
Both WONYOUNG and MINJI are the hottest rookies of the year―with jam-packed group activities, individual commercial shootings, etc.
