SeoulGlow #3 -- College Entrance Exam (v.2)

[ZarathuPower]

It's a great video. The students talk with straightforwardness in clear manner; they seems to be fully understand the game that are in and they are mentally prepared. They are smart; I wish them all the successes.

these kind of exams doesn't prepared us to make structured essays and other critical thinking, wich very required at the universities. When I have kids I'd definitely will consider that as important part of their education, not this one-time exam.

[PS3POWERFTW]

Thanks for English subtitles :] it's realy nice to see how different the korean culture is.

[GrinFrik]

this is pretty cool!

[arfer]

Good video. It helps shed a little light on the incredibly intensive Korean education system. As an English teacher at a Foreign Language High School in Seoul, I can assure you, it's brutal. I really feel for the kids.

[ftrhythmsoulution]

why the fuck is the little girl mocking his accent? that is so rude

[ephesus]

Have you ever been to Korea? This is the rudest group of people i've ever met.

[caffechoco]

no they are not

[GrinFrik]

@ephesus I met the fun - est group of people ever.

[chloespecial]

ithink she just made him laugh

[warbobs]

College entrance exam is it good for the students or not??

pls answer my question :)

[LongLivePRC]

yes its good

because Confucian people love exams.

Only those who pass deserve respect

[Audiomuse]

That was very interesting, I wonder why they get escorted by the police...

Extra security for cheating?

Crazy stuff

[lishrimp]

Because it is a really important exam for one's life, the police escorts students woke up late or couldn't get the transportation in time.

[Audiomuse]

Gamsahamnida!!!

Thanks for the information!

[mrbean1]

I think you're really interested in Korean Culture.

[Audiomuse]

Yes! I love Korea! It is way more interesting than China or Japan. You guys are incredible!

[rezzoro7]

If these exams are the most important event of one's life, why in the world are they late in the first place?

[caffechoco]

no not extra security for cheatingg... they are doing their civil service

[stargtmail]

i'm korean in korea

all koreans think that korean education system is like a fucking system

[caffechoco]

dont say that

[janepak]

it's awesome how they get escorted by the police ^^

[csnrain]

thanks for the vid, I always wondered about just how bad these tests were...so how long does the test take?

[OfDaHeeZy84]

Oops I mean attended and graduated class of 2004.

[OfDaHeeZy84]

I took the exam when I used to live in Seoul. I attending at Seoul Science High school and I got accepted to Seoul National University but I decided to go to University of Texas for chemical engineer. I remember the exam was very hard and exhausting especially studying nonstop for the exam.

[himasf]

So informative and funny!

"지금 가세요." ahahaha!

[buckrandom]

numoo ookyuh~!

[nawhead]

Jesus. That is not a healthy education system. How can an individual become a creative, free thinker in such a stifling atmosphere? So you either become one of the lucky few who get in these elite schools or become a street vendor? That's not sane. No wonder so many Koreans leave Korea, like my parents did.

[TwilightDreamer06]

Ty for making this. =]

[babybottle]

westie,it is not very nice to make and remarks on people's looks. and i think they are special in some ways and they are not ugly! mind you!

[mattyhsu]

What was going on with the police bringing students to the test? Do the students call the equivalent of 9-1-1 when they're late to that test?

[MUN7001]

omg lol
