For students and families struggling with grades, the top instructors in South Korea will provide tailored solutions in the second season of 'Please Help with Grades: Teachers.' The first challenge student to appear is a high school senior from an 'ultra-elite' family that believes there are only 'S University' and 'Y University' in South Korea.
The first episode of Channel A's 'Teachers 2,' which will air on the 4th, will feature a high school senior who requested help, saying, "Even though I study a total of 11 hours a day when there are no classes, I am not meeting my parents’ expectations, and my grades are not improving."
The student, who is 260 days away from the college entrance exam based on the recording date, revealed their study passion by not only studying from 7 a.m. but also managing self-study, personal tutoring, and 'Winter School,' even enduring living in a study room to reduce travel time. 'Chaoding mom' Han Hye-jin and Jang Young-ran expressed curiosity about the monthly tuition fee for Winter School, saying, "Winter School is quite hot..." The student’s mother responded, "It costs about 3 million to 4 million won," showing the dedication of a 'high school mom' supporting her son’s education. However, the student’s mother sighed, saying, "He doesn't listen to me at all. No matter how right my words are, he trusts and picks and chooses."
What could be the problem? The daily life of this challenge student's family was also revealed. The student's mother shared, "(When I was a student) I used self-hypnosis to say, 'Math is fun.' If I couldn’t solve a problem, I would spend 3 to 4 hours solving it without looking at the solution guide," imparting the 'Latte study method.' Jang Young-ran then began to suspect that the mother might not be someone who simply 'has studied,' asking, "Isn't this what teacher Jeong Seung-je always says?" The challenge student’s mother continued, "If I had gone to S University, I wouldn't have met your father, and you wouldn't have been born," revealing that the couple attended Y University CC.
The appearance of a Y University alumnus heightened the interest of Jun Hyun-moo, who shared, "We went to school together," feeling an immediate closeness. The challenge student, who grew up in an elite family with not only elite parents but also graduates from prestigious overseas universities, confessed, "I thought there were only two universities in South Korea. If you do well on the college entrance exam, you go to S University; if you don't, you go to Y University. I thought, 'I have to study hard so I don’t end up at Yonsei University.'"
As the first student returning stronger in 'Teachers 2,' the challenge student, who wants to follow in their parents' footsteps to become a 'Y University junior,' will reveal their issues in an episode airing on the 4th at 7:50 p.m. on Channel A's 'Please Help with Grades: Teachers 2.'
