1. [+470, -18] A Pink had an international schedule on the day of Sungkyunkwan's practical exam, how did she take it?? Why won't they clarify that?? Or did they let her take the exam on her own??
2. [+422, -19] They had no idea she was a celebrity...? That's laughable..
3. [+156, -2] Either way, she obviously wrote her broadcast experience in the experience part of her application. Who wouldn't assume celebrity based off of that?
4. [+33, -6] Are they joking ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ She's honestly uglier and has a worse body than non-celebrity women, she can't sing, she can't dance, she's never tried acting... she got in purely based off of her A Pink popularity. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+28, -8] This show has a tendency to shield celebrity issues... probably because they're celebrities themselves.

1. [+5,736, -209] That school's so known for giving special treatment... and are we really to believe that she seriously beat out all of those applicants with her acting talent alone?
2. [+5,192, -231] You can't help but be suspicious when a celebrity gets into a prestigious school
3. [+5,138, -845] Who actually believes that???????
4. [+3,686, -612] So how studious was she, eh?
5. [+919, -95] A kid who's never even acted before getting into an acting major is the weirdest part
6. [+870, -74] For someone who had to participate in concert schedules and A Pink promotions, she still had the time to study and get into Sungkyunkwan University?? A school that others take three years of nothing but studying and still don't get into? Is she a genius..?

Article: 'War of Words' Kang Yong Suk "My high school son got frustrated that Namjoo got into Sungkyunkwan"

1. [+453, -14] I'd be frustrated too, and that's probably him putting it lightly ㅋㅋ How could a singing and dancing idol compare to kids who can't even sleep because they're up all night studying to get into the colleges that they want.
2. [+429, -12] Of course he'd be mad. Do celebrities really get into these schools because they got good grades? It needs to be looked into...
3. [+403, -14] We just need to get rid of special treatment altogether. Admissions should be based entirely off of your college entrance exam score alone.
4. [+341, -12] Of course his son would be mad. High school kids aren't even allowed to have dreams anymore because their only goal in life is to get into a college. That's literally all they do while celebrities get in so easily. Imagine the feeling of loss and emptiness.
5. [+93, -3] Kang Yong Suk's son isn't alone, I'm sure the majority of other students feel the same way
6. [+91, -13] 'Special treatment' could never exist internationally in America, Japan, Europe... we just need to get rid of it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Article: 'War of Words' IU, "College admissions is for those who worked for it"
Source: TV Report via Nate
1. [+356, -19] We're not telling celebrities not to go to school. We wouldn't care if they had the resume to back up their admission but if someone like A Pink's Namjoo gets in when even the admissions counsel didn't know she was a celebrity, there's something wrong here ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+311, -24] I don't have a problem with schools accepting celebrities with impressive work experience... especially if they get into majors related to their field of work. But A Pink's Namjoo does not have any impressive experience, she's not famous herself (even admissions didn't know her)... what did she get in for? which is what I have a problem with
3. [+240, -23] People act like A Pink is super popular but all they did was rob an empty house all winter long and lost out to EXID in terms of public popularity. They don't even have a talented member other than Jung Eunji. And that other member who lost all likability on 'Real Men' tsk tsk
4. [+162, -95] At least have the decency of IU, you special treatment celebrities... you seriously have the nerve to call yourselves college students when you don't even attend class?
5. [+34, -17] Even if IU got into a school for a music major under special treatment, no one would say anything because she has the relevant experience and fame to back it up. The reason idols are so controversial nowadays is they keep getting into acting majors that have nothing to do with them.
