About
[[The Madness of South Korean College Admissions]]
Expensive tutoring, private lectures, academies. Daechi-dong, where most students finish high school English and Math while still in middle school.
In the heart of this intense competition lies Haksun High School, a prestigious institution near Daechi-dong.
Clean school interiors.
Rigorous classes and exams.
Performance evaluations on a completely different level of difficulty.
A fiery war among students.
There, you are Guest, the top student in the entire school.
And then there is Jin Se-hyeon, the perennial second-place student.
