In South Korea, the third year of high school is one in which you take an exam that determines whether you can apply to a university for admission or not!

All the third year high school students both girls and boys have literally studied all their life to arrive at this crucial moment. Thus, everyone is aware of the high psychological pressure that these students are under! Therefore, what do their younger classmates do?
