View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAs ENHYPEN's live stream coincided around the time the CSAT had finished being conducted, which lasts for over eight hours each year, Jungwon casually made a joke:&quot;The ones who are here watching this VLIVE could be the ones who didn’t do well on the CSATs, right?&quot;The members on the live broadcast looked confused, and moved on from the comment. However, it did not go over well with netizens, who criticized Jungwon for &quot;being inconsiderate&quot; about high-schoolers who had just finished the stressful exam.What makes the CSAT a serious topic for conversation?The CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) is a national graduation test. The exam is quite important, and Korean students are required to take it if they wish to secure a college admission.On the day of the exam, planes are grounded so as to not create excessive noise. Public transport is increased so students can reach the exam centers on time. If test-takers are running late, police officers will escort them to the center. The stock market opens much later in the day as well.
