K-pop boy band GOT7 member Youngjae shared his feelings on Thursday ahead of taking the College Scholastic Ability Test.

“I am nervous. I wish all the students taking the exams the best,” Youngjae told reporters in the morning before stepping into Gwangnam High School in Seoul where he took the exam.

Girl group Apink’s Oh Ha-young and boy band B.A.P member Zelo also took the exam.

Many other K-pop stars, however, chose to focus on their careers without taking the exam. Among them are girl group Red Velvet’s Joy, AOA’s Chanmi and Hello Venus’ Yeoreum.

This year, some 640,000 students, mostly those born in 1996 or older, sat for the college entry exam, which takes place once a year nationwide.
