IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung has become a hot topic because she will join the other idols who chose not to take their SATs.

On November 8, Starship Entertainment told News1 that Jang Wonyoung wouldn't take the exam in 2023. Starship Entertainment was ready to change her schedule so she could take the test.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she chose not to because she wanted to focus on her career as an artist.

Jang Wonyoung and another member, Ahn Yujin, have both decided not to take the SATs. Ahn Yujin said about a year ago that she was going to focus on her career instead of taking the exam.

Many people agreed with the decision and said she could always take the GED tests later if she wanted to.

Fans were not at all shocked by the news. Instead, they were more surprised that she would soon be considered an adult.

Netizens commented:

"Will she be an adult by next year? Why does she still look like a middle school student? Is it because I saw her on Produce48?"

"I really don't think it's important for female celebrities to go to college"

"Is Wonyoung now an adult?"

"When did Wonyoung start high school? In my mind, she is still in elementary school"

"Time moves so fast… Wonyoung is about to become an adult as well"

"Next year, Wonyoung will be 20 years old. From my point of view, she's still a kid"

"She has a lot going on, so I don't think she has time to study"

"She doesn't have to take the SAT now because her path is clear"

"She doesn't really need it, to be honest"

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
