According to Herald POP, IVE’s Leeseo will not be taking the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). After much discussion, she has decided not to take the test, instead focusing on her current activities.
With this, she joins other members, including Jang Wonyoung and Liz, who also opted out of taking the CSAT to pursue their careers.
Starship Entertainment will respect her decision on whether she wants to pursue college after she can focus on her college career.
K-Netizens also felt that she made the right decision.
- “I’m not a senior, but I think she should take it later so as not to bother the students who are taking it.”
- “It could be a public nuisance having reporters and crazy fans coming to the test site to see them.”
- “Has no one taken the test from IVE? Not sure if Gaeul has taken it…”
- “Leeseo is already a senior? Crazy.”
- “Leeseo will become an adult next year?”
- “I think this is a wise decision.”
Meanwhile, Leeseo debuted in 2021 as a member of IVE and recently completed the Seoul leg of their world tour.
