President Kim Young Sam...
had the 14th inauguration ceremony in the presence of the figures...
from the executive branches and 30,000 people...
from each industry this morning...
at the National Assembly building in Yeouido.
And he was officially sworn in to serve...
- for five years as the president. - Which one are you going to get?
- I want this one. - At today's inauguration ceremony,
- the President was... - I want this one. Let's share it.
Okay. I'm cool with that.
When I was a high school senior,
the CSAT was held for the first time.
Hey, we have math homework.
- Really? - The system for...
- college entrance exam was decided. - I'll copy yours.
- Let's go to school now. - As for the system,
the College Scholastic Ability Test will be implemented.
- Isn't this too much? - Along with the return of the exam,
- This is a lot. - students are allowed to apply...
for more than one school.
(1994 Mock Test, 2nd Period: Mathematics)
(Park Sung Soon)
(Mathematics and Critical Reasoning)
I was confused.
I had never taken that kind of exam before.
I had no idea what kind of questions would be on the test...
or how high the grades had to be...
- Put your pencils down. - to apply for certain colleges.
Your time is up.
(4th Period: Foreign Language)
How was...
I'm sorry, kids.
Let's rely on luck tomorrow.
- Come on. - Are you serious?
I love you guys.
- What does he want us to do? - Is he serious?
And that year, it was the hardest CSAT.
Everyone cried.
Except for me.
Why not?
You must have gotten a good mark on the test.
No, I bombed it.
What's the point of crying? It would've been a waste of time.
Anyway, I went to my homeroom teacher...
after the CSAT. And this is what he said.
- Sung Soon. - Yes?
With this score...
(Score Table for the CSAT)
You can apply for colleges in this box.
However, I didn't want to apply for those colleges.
- Sir. - Yes?
I want to join the big league.
Not there.
I want to go here. Here.
So I just applied for my dream school...
instead of my safety schools.
So did you get in?
Yes.
How?
High school seniors who graded their tests...
in advance were in despair and very concerned...
as their scores were lower than they expected.
I'll eat this.
I can't believe you can eat right now.
The test-takers seemed very sad.
As time passed, they became more anxious...
When I read the question, I didn't understand it.
"Acceptance letter". It's from Yeonhui University?
The prestigious colleges in Seoul...
didn't get enough applicants that year.
Students who did better than me on the exam...
didn't apply for those schools as they got scared.
Well, that was only possible in the 1990s.
If I tell that to my students now,
it would be the negligence of duty.
College admission is all about information nowadays.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hi.
- Hello.
- Take this. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Ms. Park. - This is quite an event.
- My gosh. - You seem very busy.
Gosh, I'm so busy.
You all got one, right?
Yes. Let me escort you inside. Come on in.
Thank you. I'm Lee Tae Sik, the head advisor...
from Sinsa High School.
(College Admission Fair for 6 High Schools in Gangnam)
(Black Dog)
That was a lecture from the head advisor...
- of Sinsa High School. - Yes.
We'll take a five-minute recess.
And we'll resume with a lecture from Hankuk High School.
- Why... - I guess they had a fight.
It happens often.
(Daechi High School)
Hey.
Ms. Park.
You came.
Of course, I should come.
Did you prepare hard?
I did my best,
but I have a long ways to go before I'm up to par with you.
Gosh. Relax.
If you make the first sale on your first day, that's a win.
Okay.
- Gosh. - Hi.
Hi, Hae Won.
We should've helped.
It's okay. College Advisory Group...
busy with the college applications conference.
You all came together.
Yes.
Somebody needed to face reality.
What?
(Daechi High School)
Okay, so next we'll hear from Mr. Han Se Wol...
from Hankuk High School.
I'll see you later.
Hello.
(Hankuk High School)
I'm Han Se Wol, head of the Senior Class Group of Hankuk High School.
That's Ji Hae Won.
He used to be in our group until two years ago.
He's in the Senior Class Group now.
Hello.
You're in the College Advisory Group, right?
I'm new in the Senior Class Group. I'm Jang Hee Soo.
If you're new,
you must be close with Ms. Ko.
Yes, of course. Hello.
Hello.
This is it.
A school...
must work hard on this...
If you're done, you should go home.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hello everyone.
Here. Have some macarons and raise your blood sugar level.
Here.
They are so colorful.
You too. Here.
- Here. - Thank you.
What is this?
This?
Some parents sent them specially to thank the Senior Class Group.
That's surprising. Did he go home?
No, not home. He went to war.
Where?
He was sent from the Senior Class Group to the counseling session...
for potential students and their parents.
That scary place?
I'm grateful,
- but I feel bad. - Why?
Remember that admissions officer who came last time?
I heard it was a real bust.
I understand everyone is feeling pressured, but still.
May I get another one?
Sure. We have an extra. Here.
Thank you.
Okay, I'm out. Work hard.
- Bye. - Good night.
Good night.
(Gangnam High School)
After studying and analyzing countless student records,
- we realized... - That teacher...
must be very capable, right?
Seeing how much Ms. Park trusts him.
It's because you can see the connection.
Even college admissions follow a trend.
It's different this year from last year. That's how it is.
The school system must change with the changing admissions trend.
Our College Advisory Group studies this change.
The most skilled people in college admissions...
are at our Dansuk High School.
Please give a round of applause to our head advisor.
Last but not least,
from the Senior Class Group from Daechi High School,
please welcome Mr. Ji Hae Won...
with a warm round of applause.
Hey, it's Daechi. Let's go.
- It's over. Let's go. - We don't need to listen to them.
Let's go.
It's not worth staying for. Let's go.
I'm leaving.
Ladies and gentlemen,
our presentation will be brief.
So I'd appreciate it if you'd stay in your seats.
Oh no.
What?
Didn't you know how unpopular our school was?
Right, Myung Soo?
Okay, then.
I'll explain the admissions process for Daechi High School.
It was because of sales.
For students whose goals...
What?
The reason we're here today.
- We'll create social clubs... - I see.
The college admissions offices.
Do you want to go with us?
But what will we do there?
- Sales? - Sorry?
So? Will you go with us or not?
You don't want to?
No, sir.
Okay. Then you should study admissions too.
Ms. Park says she'll decide after watching you.
Compared to five years ago,
the acceptance rate at the top universities went up.
You can see that here.
Why...
He doesn't want to go.
Why not?
Sales isn't the most standard procedure.
He's surprisingly into following standard procedures.
Although he doesn't look very standard.
We have the following programs in place...
to enhance the student records.
Debate competitions, science competitions...
Why do you say it isn't standard procedure?
Universities don't give advice on how schools manage student records.
In order to obtain information about each university's...
student-record-based applications process,
we attend the college applications conferences.
Or we invite the admissions officers to our school.
Will they come then?
Most of them do. Except for Hankuk University.
Why?
They're prestigious.
Everyone is dying to go there.
Why would they come to our school?
We're super unpopular.
That's why we went to their admissions office ourselves.
To get detailed information about their applications.
That's sales?
Yes. That's what we call it among ourselves to be funny.
But you said they won't give advice...
on how schooles manage student records.
It's okay to bring several student records and compare them.
We didn't break the rules.
Well, let's just say it's cheating.
We make it as realistic as possible.
So that's why...
As you, the parents, already know...
Then Ms. Park...
What are you talking about?
Can I join...
She believes a school must be responsible for a student.
We strive to bring out the best in the students...
and prepare student records to showcase their strengths.
That's what we're trying to do.
Does anyone have any questions about Daechi High School?
No one? Yes.
Please bring her a microphone.
Would you please...
show us the acceptance rate you showed us earlier?
Sure.
The acceptance rate for the top schools.
What percent is from early admissions?
What is the acceptance rate for student-record-based applications?
That parent is a total expert. We got unlucky.
The regular versus early admissions ratio is 7 to 3.
Student-record-based applications acceptance rate...
was under 30 percent.
He's impressive, isn't he?
Then all of that represents students who applied after high school.
Not students in school at the time.
Ma'am. That happens everywhere,
not just our school.
It's because the schools can't send the kids to college,
that we have to spend our money and make our kids study and apply again.
Am I wrong?
Ma'am, we...
Forget it.
Okay.
Does anyone else have any questions?
Okay, please hand him the microphone please.
Daechi is a local high school.
So the levels of the classes are lower than feeder schools,
and your acceptance rate at Hankuk University is lower.
What do you think about that?
Myung Soo.
Should we still not do sales?
Please bring the microphone to the Daechi High School teacher.
Hello. I'm Park Sung Soon,
the head college advisor at Daechi High School.
Let me explain it for you.
You made a comment regarding our classes.
Well. Mr. Do Yeon Woo?
- Yes? - Please.
Our teacher will be giving lectures...
on TV on an education channel.
Well...
Also, we are in the process of working on measures...
to improve our acceptance rate...
at Hankuk University through student-record-based applications.
We are going to go...
personally to Hankuk University...
and invite their admissions officer to our conference.
and share very useful information.
At our school's college applications conference,
we will share...
very high-class information that we gather,
which is hard to find elsewhere.
If any of you are interested,
you may contact us in advance...
and attend as well.
Thank you.
- You did very well. - Thank you for coming.
You did great.
- Thank you. - You too.
Thank you.
- Okay. - Good night.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Good night. - Bye.
Good night.
Shall we go too?
- Let's go. - Goodbye.
Good night.
- Good work tonight. - Thank you.
Good night.
Do you want to go with us?
But what will we do there?
Sales?
Sales isn't the most standard procedure.
What about you?
What do you think?
I think sending the kids to college...
is also a part of our job.
(Noodles)
My daughter is complaining.
My gosh. Wait a minute. I'll fix this.
Why are you putting that on there?
I have my ways. Wait a minute.
It's coming out.
If an anomaly does not break the rules...
- Good night. - Thank you.
Doesn't that...
naturally qualify for an exception?
Ha Neul.
- Why you... - A drink?
You must be so happy.
Come in.
- My gosh. - Welcome home.
You wanted to drink with your old man?
I heard all of you went to the fair yesterday.
Yes.
You did great.
Not at all.
My gosh.
I am counting on you. You know that, right?
Yes, sir.
- You can count on me. - That's right.
- I'm the center here. - That's right, you are.
(Principal's Office)
It's Ms. Park.
You heard that they went to the admissions fair yesterday, right?
Yes.
Those College Advisor punks don't know when to butt in.
Ms. Ko Ha Neul, enjoy.
Song Ji Sun.
Hello. I'm with the After School Group.
I'm here to pick up the documents I called about.
Give me a minute.
We should finalize the contracts within the week.
Ms. Park Dam Hee is returning?
Then...
let's make one of them 5 months rather than 1 year.
No, not at all.
Here's what you asked for.
She's returning during summer vacation again?
Why? There's no class to teach.
It's an obvious ploy.
She wants to get paid during summer vacation.
That's terrible.
So one of us will get a contract for 5 months instead of 1 year?
March is almost over.
What a slap in the face.
Five months?
Then you can't even collect unemployment benefits afterward.
But...
if one of us must sign a contract like that,
isn't it obvious who it should be?
True. She came in last.
(2019 New Short-Term Teachers)
Why is she returning to school...
during summer vacation?
So we'll have to give one of them a five-month contract.
I thought we should tell the teacher who came in last.
Ko Ha Neul. Her.
We have no choice.
You're our Chief of Administration. I'll leave it in your hands.
(Quiet)
You're here.
Please explain to Ms. Park.
Sir.
What?
They always take the crap...
but make us wipe it.
What is it?
- Come sit. - What?
Stay out of it.
Rationally speaking, this doesn't make sense.
The hiring notice was for a one-year contract.
How can you tell her to work for only five months?
What choice do we have?
Then what? Should we say that we can't do that to the short-term,
so don't come back to work?
You should at least set some rules.
- Or I... - If you do this,
that rumor will only get worse about you and Ms. Ko.
Stay out of Ms. Ko's matters.
It only makes you look bad.
Hi.
How do you like teaching? Is it okay?
Yes, it's good.
Hello.
(How to Survive as a Short-Term Teacher)
Do you pack this every morning?
No. My mother.
That's more like it.
(I thought Daechi was clean)
How corrupt.
Corrupt? What do you mean?
Is it because you teach Korean? You speak so differently.
Whatever. What's so different?
(Right? How corrupt.)
That's the situation.
She'll probably teach only for one semester.

(Select Participant Who Went on Business Trip, Ko Ha Neul)
Hello?
Yes, this is Ms. Ko Ha Neul's phone.
Attendance?
Class 3-5's attendance wasn't taken?
I took attendance.
Just a minute.
Here.
(Friday March 15)
I'll tell her to check it again. Okay.
Ms. Ko.
We don't take attendance in the attendance book anymore.
Pardon?
Then where...
You have to do it in NEWIS.
(Friday March 15)
Here.
We keep the attendance book for our convenience.
Goodness.
You checked off boxes on your book in this 21st century.
It seems...
you went back to the 90s by yourself.
Why are you being so grumpy?
Hello.
I'm sorry.
I got them from the print room.
What is it? Why are you here again?
These are the fliers for the college admissions conference.
Yes, I saw them at the print room.
Ms. Ko requested it.
But Ms. Ko,
you filled out the form incorrectly for the printouts.
Pardon?
You used the old form.
Our department sent you the new version of the form.
Let me check on it again.
Right. I heard that the College Advisory Group...
will be visiting college admission offices.
I applaud you.
Where did you hear that?
By the way, why didn't you include Ms. Ko on the trip?
I saw you submitting the request earlier.
Ms. Ko, are you an outcast?
What?
What is it? Is it because of the rumor about you and Mr. Moon?
My gosh, what are you talking about?
The analysis of our school's college acceptance rate...
analysis of the accepted students. I want you to read all of them.
Pardon?
You told Mr. Bae that you wanted to come with us.
I see. Yes.
Why are you giving her our school promotional brochure?
Read that too.
You ought to work this much...
if you're in the College Advisory Group.
All of them?
Why? You can't do it?
No, I will do it.
Besides,
shouldn't you be able to process simple paperwork properly?
It's almost been a month since you started here.
You can't even properly check attendance and request for printout.
How can I trust you...
and give you more tasks? Don't you agree?
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
Show me through your actions.
No one will badmouth you even if you got here...
through your connections as long as you're competent.
Oh, right.
I don't like ostracizing people. You got the wrong idea.
Let's go.
It seems she's especially...
being harsh on Ms. Ko, right?
It's a love-hate relationship.
I get why she might not like Ms. Ko, but how do you know she loves her?

Hello.
(College Entrance Rate of Daechi High School Climbs up)
- Hello. - Hi.
My goodness, they created a lot of after-school classes.
Ms. Song, are you holding an after-school class too?
Yes. It's mandatory to hold Korean classes.
The questions on CSAT for Korean are hard, aren't they?
By the way, why are our students taking so many after-school classes?
Do you have to ask? It's all for their student record.
They just study at their prep schools anyway.
You know what?
You're not supposed to say the truth.
You know, this is a lot of work for us too.
We must teach after-school classes after our regular classes.
By the way, look at this.
I don't think this will work.
(New Classes for the 1st Semester Teacher: Ko Ha Neul)
Goodness.
There are a lot.
My fellow alumna of Osul Elementary School.
How's your studying for the college admissions going?
I see. Yes.
I told you we've been calling it grade school for over 20 years.
(Guideline for Early Admission for Hankuk University for 2020)
- Hey. - Hello.
Is Ms. Ko not here?
Ms. Ko.
Ms. Song.
Ms. Ko.
You submitted a teaching plan to our department a while ago.
The one about the after-school classes?
Yes, that.
The teaching plan was a bit different.
With the plan, you'll be able to hold in-depth classes next year.
Yes.
Actually, I wanted to hold a class like that.
It won't be easy to prepare for the class, but...
Can't you just hold regular classes like other teachers?
Pardon?
Why do you say that?
Ms. Ko.
We won't be able to stay here.
After creating a class that you want,
if you're not here next year,
other teachers will have to continue your classes.
That's not an ideal situation.
I know that it's a great class for the students.
But other teachers are concerned that they might have to do it.
So...
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I didn't think that far.
Thank you for being understanding.
Okay.
Ms. Ko.
You don't need to work so hard.
Pardon?
You can just be somewhere in the middle.
Don't you think that's enough?
We'll be leaving anyway.
I understand.
I had forgotten about it briefly...
that I would be leaving this school.
It's about the polices the kings implemented.
All right. Let's go to Goryeo.
Before the Goryeo Dynasty, there were the Later Three Kingdoms.
And who were in these kingdoms?
He's the guy you guys are very familiar with. "Four dollars."
There was Gung Ye. And Gyeon Hwon in Hubaekje.
And there was Silla too.
And who was the figure that unified the kingdoms and founded Goryeo?
- Right. It's Taejo. - Ms. Ko.
May I have a word?
I have a few things to tell you about your contract.
I see. Okay.
What is it?
Where did Ms. Ko go?
She's not at her seat. Why?
It's about her after-school class she proposed.
I think she should withdraw it.
Why?
I'm sure you know why.
Who's going to continue this class if she leaves...
after creating a class like this?
Besides, I heard that she might not be here after the vacation.
What's he talking about?
So talk to her for me, okay?
I'm in a tight spot too.
- Sir. - Yes?
I already talked to her just now.
Really?
Already?
She already talked to Ms. Ko.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter if it's a good teaching program.
We don't know when she's going to leave.
But still. Mr. Son, why don't you give it some more thought?
- For the sake of the students. - I know that.
I know that this is a great class for the students.
Then what?
You know, we're in a tight spot too.
After creating a class like that, if she leaves after the vacation,
other teachers have to continue with the plan.
Who would like that?
We'll have to clean up after her mess.
That's a problem too. You know?
Well, they have their own reasons too.
Tell her to go easy on it.
It's going to put all of us in a tight spot.
I'll teach that class with her.
We both teach Korean.
We can split the number of classes, right?
Yes, you can do that.
I'll revise the teaching plan for the class later...
and submit that to you.
Sure. Sounds great.
I'll go in now.
That's odd.
Goodness.
What a surprise.
Who knew he'd suggest teaching classes with another teacher?
I know, right?
His classes are the first ones to get booked out.
He's not gaining anything from it.
I know, right? Goodness.
It's about Ms. Ko.
I guess she's pretty good.
Mr. Do wants to lead a class with her.
And Ms. Kim wanted to do the same too.
I heard it was her first time working at a school too.
She must be a natural.
- What? A natural? - A natural.
A natural.
- Are you going to your class? - Yes. I'll be back.
Okay.
Can't you just hold regular classes like other teachers?
We'll be leaving anyway.
One of the Korean teachers...
wanted to return to school all of a sudden.
One of the short-term teachers...
must sign a five-month contract.
I'm sorry.
Here are the causes for termination during the period of the contract.
Please check them.
(In case a permanent teacher returns earlier than agreed upon...)
Let's have a meeting tomorrow after the fourth period.
It's about the sales at the admission offices.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay.
Ms. Ko.
Yes?
You don't need to withdraw your proposal for the after-school class.
What do you mean?
I'll be teaching the same class with you.
I'll revise the plan and submit it.
Do you not like it?
I thought it was a pretty good class.
Okay.
Thank you.
Ms. Ko.
I'll root for you.
Okay.
Same for you too.
You must be so cold.
I'm hungry.
Attention, everyone.
Hello.
- What are you doing? Are you busy? - What?
So you're preparing a conference for college admission...
and counseling sessions for parents with College Advisory Group.
How is that going?
Do you have to ask?
Don't you know how Ms. Park is?
You planned your Senior Class meeting then on purpose, right?
I did not.
I really didn't know.
You thug.
But still. You will be on the same side in front of parents.
Me? With her?
With those jerks?
That's how things are at work.
Friends become your enemies. And vice versa.
Friends, my foot. As if. Goodness.
You and your temper.
Oh, right.
- Where's my mind at? - What is it?
You know the short-term teachers? I was supposed to send them...
a message to come and sign their contracts, but I forgot.
I've been all over the place because of Ms. Park Dam Hee.
Because she's returning to work during vacation?
Yes.
That's why we need to give one of them a five-month contract.
They told me to tell the teacher.
Why do you feel so bad about it?
It only makes sense for one of them to leave. They are a replacement.
I know that. Of course, I know that's how it should be.
Even so, I still feel awful.
- I'm leaving. - My goodness, wait.
I'll solve your problem in one go.
Ms. Jang. How do I operate this?
Turn on the power there.
Okay.
How are you supposed to pronounce "late summer"?
"Late summer"?
"Late summer"? I'm not sure.
This is an announcement...
for the teachers in class and their offices.
What? There are classes right now. How rude.
I guess there's an urgent matter.
This is an announcement...
for the teachers in class and their offices.
This is an announcement for short-term teachers.
Please report to the administration office as soon as possible.
Let me repeat.
This is an announcement for short-term teachers.
Please report to the administration office as soon as possible.
Let me repeat.
This is an announcement for short-term teachers.
Please report to the administration office as soon as possible.
Mr. Song, come with me.
What's his problem? How could he say that?
He lacks all the basics. What is wrong with him?
What's the big deal? It isn't a crime to be a short-term.
What is there to hide?
What good will it do if the kids find out?
It only makes it harder to get the kids to listen.
Thank you, Hae Won.
Sure.
Even if you're a permanent teacher, it's equally hard to teach the kids.
And kids these days know everything.
Isn't that right, Hae Won?
Yes.
What's wrong with Mr. Song? This is just wrong.
Teachers have an image to uphold in front of the students.
Private schools are different from public schools,
so you can go from short-term to permanent,
and things like that.
So the students and parents...
don't know who's short-term and who's permanent.
So don't tell anyone.
Oh no.
Ms. Ko.
The announcement ended.
What?
Okay. So, late summer.
This is what happens here.
Well...
Let's turn to page 32.
Here.
(To all the short-term teachers)
So... If you turn to page 32, you'll see names, personalities,
hobbies...
Ms. Song.
Are you a short-term teacher?
Mr. Song Young Tae.
Yes, sir.
Please...
Shouldn't you be more careful?
What do you mean, sir?
Think of the other teachers.
Which teachers do you mean, sir?
I mean... Well...
If the kids find out, it'll only make it harder to teach them.
And no good will come from the parents finding out.
My gosh. Kids may not say it, but they know everything.
Plus, that's nothing to be offended about even if they do find out.
- What? - I mean,
even we do work in the same office,
short-terms and we are completely different entities.
Even if we all work and get paid the same,
we're family who will be here for life,
and they're just people passing through.
Am I wrong?
Regardless,
I don't want people talking and things getting noisy,
so watch it from now on.
Gosh. What's his problem?
Seriously.
Who told them to fail the test?
If you're so bitter, pass.
Why are they such crybabies?
They blame the world if they fail.
That day,
Ms. Song Ji Sun...
never showed up to sign her contract.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Mr. Ji Hae Won, come have a seat.

It was impossible to know...
whether she left voluntarily...
or was made to leave.
(Fixed Term Teaching Contract)
(Ko Ha Neul)
(To February 29, 2020, 1 year)
Hello.
(Ms. Ko Ha Neul, enjoy. Song Ji Sun)
Ms. Ko.
I'll root for you.
The one person who cheered me on...
and believed in me while in the same situation...
had left.
(Ko Ha Neul)
Someone else was supposed to leave instead.
She was about to be fired after five months, but she survived.
She's incessant.
Ms. Song Ji Sun was so good to her.
I know, right?
But she took her spot.
She is shameless.
I wouldn't be able to do it.
It's a skill to be thick-skinned.
- She's frightening. - I couldn't.
If Ji Sun hadn't left, one of us would've been fired.
We should be careful.
Should we get some coffee?
Sounds good.
How about a refreshing iced Americano?
- Americano. - You need that when you're down.
We have a lot of work to do.
What must I do?
What must I do...
to become a permanent teacher?
Ms. Ko Ha Neul. Why are you asking me that?
You're old enough to take care of yourself.
Aren't you getting out?
Oh, right.
What must I do?
What must I do to become a permanent teacher?
Stay out of Ms. Ko's matters.
It only makes you look bad.
If these rumors keep spreading,
it'll hurt your chances at becoming principal.
Hey. Mr. Cha. It's me.
I have a favor to ask.
She's here.
Let's go to the meeting.
- Okay. - Yes, ma'am.
First, I organized the changes in early admissions, the schedule,
and what goes in the student records.
Please print a list...
- of what we need. - Okay.
So?
Did you study the early admissions process?
So? Did you notice anything unique...
from the school information?
Well...
Yes, from what I saw, I noticed something...
that I thought was notable.
So...
(Hardworking)
You don't need to work so hard.
You can just be somewhere in the middle.
We're leaving anyway.
What's wrong? Ms. Ko?
I don't know.
What?
It was too hard.
Then what about student-record-based applications?
What did you think from studying them?
Well...
Evaluating students not solely on the college entrance exam,
but doing a qualitative evaluation...
So...
It's a way to consider the student as a whole,
and evaluate their potential as well.
However, I don't think the schools are ready for that.
I'm not asking for a general summary of what it is.
I'm asking for your opinion.
I...
don't know.
Please excuse us for a minute.
Look.
Mr. Moon Soo Ho...
suddenly asked for the IP addresses of the teachers.
I said it can't be done.
Privacy laws are so strict nowadays.
I don't know.
Someone posted about corruption at our school on some website.
That's what he's tracking.
Hey, let's chat later.
Okay.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
"I'm not one of them anyway."
"They won't listen to anything I saw."
Is that how you feel?
Yes? I guess so.
No, ma'am.
Then where did your soul go?
You said before that you wanted to work together.
Well...
I don't think I'll be of much help anyway.
It's my first time preparing college applications and...
Did you...
submit the request for the business trip?
Pardon?
Had I known all you cared about was running away,
I shouldn't have included yours with ours.
What about Ms. Ko?
(College Advisory Group)
I submitted her request for the business trip with ours.
You knew you were going to. Why did you play hardball?
But I don't think she can join us today.
Why not?
Ms. Ko, why can't you join us today?
I...
I'll go with you.
I'll go too.
To be honest, I thought about quitting.
I'm not one of you,
and I can't stay even if I want to anyway.
But that was a fleeting thought.
I reviewed all the documents that you gave me,
and I studied them.
I know I had that fleeting thought,
but can't you be understanding?
What are you doing?
- Pack your things. - Sorry?
Yes, ma'am.
Here.
Come to the school yard. We'll take my car.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
- Ms. Ko, bring that box. - Okay.
Here.
I can't tell you teachers' IP addresses.
I don't know what urgent matter this is regarding,
it is a violation of personal privacy laws,
so I can't do that unless the police request it.

Hey. What are you doing?
Big news.
- We went to IS. - And?
The head of school administrations is looking for the person...
who posted about the corruption on the short-term teachers' forum.
He asked the head of IS for teachers' IP addresses.
For real?
How did he know about the website?
- Right? - Who knows?
But seriously, who posted that?
I want to know too.
Ms. Ko.
Okay.
There.
That's it.
The trunk is full, so hold it on your lap.
Oh my gosh.
You need a car wash.
We'll all get sick.
It's not good to wash your car too often.
Why?
It'll get spoiled.
What?
Gross!
I repeat. It's not good to wash the car too often.
- It'll get arrogant. - You need help.
Sorry.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Can we make it there alive?
I feel sick.
Let's show our sales skills.
It's nice being back on the campus.
It brings back memories.
We have time to spare. Do you want to walk around?
- Sure, well... - Sure, well...
Those were the days.
I used to be their age once.
Let's strategize before we go to the admissions office.
Okay.
Well... Excuse me for a minute. I need to go to the bathroom.
Me too. I'll go with him.
- Okay. - What...
Since when did men start to go to the bathroom together?
We'll wait here.
- Hey... - So...
Go ahead.
No, you go first.
I need to use the bathroom too.
Do you want to go with me?
No.
Go ahead. I'll wait here.
Ms. Ko.
When it comes to the students, we're all the same.
Both you and I.
(Black Dog)
I hear you're close with the admissions officer at Hankuk!
She acts all arrogant.
You want to create a new advanced class?
Everywhere you go, there's a top one percent!
- We need to save them first. - What?
Senior Class and College Advisory are having a battle for power.
Who will be in charge of the advanced class?
What about Ms. Ko Ha Neul? Let's do something big!
You heard the rumor that a permanent position is opening up this year.
Would she do it? She won't want to upset the College Advisory Group.
I'll think about it and get back to you.
