1. [+7,167, -434] I like Sejung but this feels random...

2. [+4,706, -289] Surely she's not the "lead" lead but one of the many students, right?

3. [+3,576, -344] I'm a Sejung fan and hoped she would start with supporting roles rather than lead... but it's all confirmed now so I support her either way

4. [+2,427, -163] The way the 'School' series has always worked is they feature a variety of students and then start focusing on the students whose stories are the viewer favorites. Sejung's screentime in the drama will probably change according to her potential.

5. [+1,958, -421] I always thought she had acting potential after seeing her on SNL with IOI.. I don't know if it's lead worthy yet though.

6. [+466, -104] She was great on SNL... but why start off with a lead ㅠㅠ that's a lot of pressure. Anyway, I'll be watching the drama for sure.

7. [+313, -73] Wow Sejung fighting

8. [+382, -66] I was hoping to see her with Kim Yoo Jung after hearing that she was in the casting meeting too so I'm sad that Kim Yoo Jung is dropping out from the drama. I trust Sejung will do well!! I think she fits her character well ㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+1,309, -34] This will either be a huge success or a huge fail for her ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+1,020, -42] Quite the gamble

3. [+564, -13] A lead? Not a supporting role?

4. [+105, -4] Sejung's going to get some hate over this... a kid with no acting experience as the lead? She should've started with supporting roles. It'll be an opportunity if she does well but she should be prepared to get a ton of hate for the first time since her debut if this pans out poorly for her.

5. [+101, -8] "Potential" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ they cast their lead over "potential" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+90, -14] This will probably be a deciding factor in Kim Sejung's career... whether she rises to the sky or hits rock bottom

7. [+80, -3] I have a feeling her acting will be really exaggerated and over the top...

8. [+71, -3] A risky chance that she could ruin everything she's worked hard to build so far
