Some idols will sit the CSAT while others focus on their activities

As the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) approaches, several idols born in 2007 have prepared to sit the exam despite their busy schedules. ZEROBASEONE’s Han Yu-jin, TOURS’ Kyungmin, IZNA’s Yu Sarang, and Kickflip’s Donghyun are listed among this year’s CSAT test-takers. The industry notes that these idols have balanced their schedules with academics in recent months.

Meanwhile, other idols have opted to focus on their main activities and will not take the CSAT. IVE’s Leeseo, Baby Monster’s Ahyeon and Rami, Hats2Hats’s Yuha and Stella, Miyao Narin, Cats Eyes’s Yoonchae, IZNA’s Choi Jeong-eun, and TripleS’s Kim So-min, Kim Chaewon, Jung Ha-yeon, and Jung Hye-rin will not sit for the exam.

IVE’s Leeseo will not sit for the CSAT, with Starship Entertainment stating that she will focus on IVE activities for now and that her college plans will be considered later.

The CSAT is held on the 13th, with nationwide testing across 85 examination zones and 1,310 sites, and 554,174 students are set to take the exam.
