Channel A's 'Please Take Care of My Grades: Teachers 2' will feature students challenging the 'multiple study' program, providing tailored solutions from Korea's best instructors for students and families struggling with grades. 'Successful retaker' Jun Hyun-moo will unveil the behind-the-scenes story of his retake for the first time.
In the episode of 'Teachers 2' airing today, 22nd, a student who was an ace during their senior year in high school and a key figure in the 'success myth' will appear, aiming to retake the college entrance exam with the sole goal of getting into 'S University.' The student, despite having registered for a 'In-Seoul' university, chose to take a break in the second semester after receiving an 'academic warning' for not attending due to being unable to take a break in the first semester. Mimi Minoo, an 'admissions strategy mentor,' noted, 'There are three types of retakers. The first is the typical retake where one studies in the first semester and prepares for the college entrance exam after taking a break in the second semester. The second is the 'academic warning retake,' which has financial burdens since tuition must be paid. Finally, the third is the case where one prepares for the college entrance exam while simultaneously attending university without taking a break. Among these, the least cost-effective option is the 'academic warning retake,' which was chosen by the student.
Meanwhile, the student stated, 'During my senior year, I couldn't concentrate due to anxiety about the future, but now I can focus better on studying,' expressing a sense of stability after registering for university. Additionally, the student mentioned, 'At least I have a place to go back to,' indicating a mindset of viewing the already registered university as insurance. This left the 'T-Bengers' Jeong Seung-je and Jo Jeong-sik and Mimi Minoo puzzled.
In response, the 'Y University' retaker Jun Hyun-moo suddenly confessed, 'I also got accepted to a university during my senior year.' He said, 'I canceled immediately without attending. I thought that if I held onto something, I wouldn't feel the urgency to study,' sharing the behind-the-scenes story of his retake that involved taking a significant risk. Han Hye-jin remarked, 'I wouldn't be able to cancel if it were me,' expressing surprise at Jun Hyun-moo's determination to give up his registered university to become more desperate. Jeong Seung-je agreed, saying, 'That's how you achieve success,' empathizing with the importance of urgency toward retaking. Jo Jeong-sik pointed out, 'Holding onto a university is the worst choice. It should feel like a life-or-death situation, but that doesn't seem to be the case for the student.' Mimi Minoo also questioned, 'Are you saying from the start that you have a place to return to? Is that how much you want to get into 'S University'?' Ultimately, Jun Hyun-moo attempted to persuade, saying, 'Can't I just attend the school I got accepted to well?'
As the 'T-Bengers' raise doubts about the desperation of the first retaker on 'Teachers,' the reasons the student is fixated on 'SKY universities' and the academic status tied to the probability of success in their retake can be confirmed in Channel A's 'Please Take Care of My Grades: Teachers 2,' airing Sunday, 22nd, at 7:50 p.m.
