Crucial Role of Quiet

Imagine a day when all of South Korea falls into an unusual hush. This is the reality of the Suneung, the college entrance exam that holds the power to shape futures. On this pivotal day, the nation collectively holds its breath, underscoring the test’s gravity with a palpable silence. It’s a day when dreams are chased with bated breath.

To guarantee students’ punctual arrival for their exams, the country’s public transport ramps up its service. The streets see police officers ready to aid nervous test-takers. Even the skies are put on pause, with flights grounded to avoid noise. This extraordinary effort, humorously echoed by ‘Zoolander’s’ characters, underscores the lengths to which society will go to nurture its future generation.
