1. [+364, -17] It'd be great if everyone could get a positive result... but I know that there will be someone out there who will cry over their results and my heart aches for them already. It might feel like the sky is crumbling down on you but there will be more important things in life so overcome it...
2. [+301, -15] Feels like yesterday I was 20 years old but in just a bit there will be 630,000 more 20 year olds entering our society. So jealous of their youth. Please realize that this test and college are not all there is to life. The fact that you are alive and breathing is a beautiful feat already. Don't be nervous and don't think of giving up just because you did poorly. As the saying goes, those in their twenties don't know how precious their time is.. so have fun and live a fun life!
3. [+282, -21] Good work to everyone so far!! Do your best on the test ^^

Article: Hospital provides female high school student with VIP room to take her test after accident
Source: Yonhap News via Nate
She was hit by a truck a month ago and had her right leg crushed. Her mother said, "Even when the bones of her leg were crushed under the truck, the first words out of her mouth were, 'I have to do well on my test'... as her mother, it hurt me so badly." Fortunately, the hospital has provided her with a separate VIP room to take the exam in as minimal pain as possible since it is painful for her to sit up for long periods of time due to multiple skin grafts.
1. [+588, -12] Great job to the hospital
2. [+532, -13] Who's the hospital CEO? Great work~!!!
3. [+381, -7] She's right. The test isn't over until it says it's over. I want to praise her for her fighting spirit. Find strength~
4. [+24, -1] Impressed by both the hospital and the student's determination to continue

Article: 76 Danwon High School students overcome their pain and take the college entrance exam

1. [+1,950, -160] I personally don't think it's fair that they're getting special treatment by colleges
2. [+1,557, -87] As a fellow high school senior, I don't know how to feel about it. Although I want those students to find strength, I think it's unfair that we do not take the test on equal footing.
3. [+1,344, -95] It's great that they're overcoming their pain and all but they're going to get into college through special treatment anyway.
4. [+991, -90] Aren't they being given special treatment by colleges???
5. [+183, -15] As a high school senior, this honestly pisses me off. I don't know why they should be given special treatment just because of the accident. If they had any shame at all, they'd stick to applying to the departments they were originally going to take but they're instead taking opportunities away from everyone else by applying to high competition majors like business and psychology.

1. [+140, -38] Will she even be able to answer any of the questions on the test
2. [+45, -4] They're going to get in on special treatment anyway, what's the point
3. [+31, -10] How pointless...
4. [+41, -26] That girls' even wearing make up ㅋㅋ must've been soo difficult for her to wake up early in the morning for that ㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+14, -2] As if this test even means anything to them ㅋㅋ I doubt they'll score anything higher than 200 ㅋㅋ They're going to get into some acting major where your grades don't matter. They're only taking the test because it's another camera opportunity for them ㅋㅋ
