The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission noted on the 22nd that its ambassador, broadcaster Seo Kyung-seok, will conduct free special lectures for young individuals preparing for independence and children in protective facilities to help them prepare for the Korean history exam.

The special lectures will be held on June 10, July 1, and July 22 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mapo Central Library in Seoul. Those wishing to participate should fill out and submit an application form for the Korean history special lecture for young individuals preparing for independence.

This is a practical problem-solving special lecture in preparation for the 75th Korean history ability test that will take place in August. Students must first watch the Korean history concept lectures posted on Seo Kyung-seok's YouTube channel before participating in the special lecture.

Seo Kyung-seok entered the Army Academy as the top student but realized it was not suited to his aptitude and took the exam again to enroll in the Department of French Language and Literature at Seoul National University. Previously, in February, Seo became the first celebrity to receive a perfect score of 100 points in the 73rd Korean history exam.

The Commission appointed Seo as an ambassador and honorary advisor (mentor) for young individuals preparing for independence in March.
