All the students who have been studying for their College Scholastic Ability Tests or CSATs for the year 2024, are nervously waiting for November 16th to come. Here is a playlist put together by the artists in the Weverse family that is dedicated to all the examinees, hoping that you feel all the relief in the world after the exams. SAKURA of LE SSERAFIM, DaHyun of Rocket Punch, HYOJIN and J-US of ONF, BAEK JI HEON of fromis_9, SOOBIN of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Jihan of Weeekly, Yoon of STAYC, and HEESEUNG of ENHYPEN cheer you on with music. 

BSS (SEVENTEEN) - “Fighting” (Feat. Lee Young Ji)

SAKURA (LE SSERAFIM): I sometimes question why I have to work so hard, and nothing really turns out the way I want it to. There are lyrics in “Fighting” that goes, “In the stories (Why do all my friends) look so cool there (Why me me, only me).” When I listen to these lyrics when I catch myself feeling down from comparing myself to other people, I think, there’s nothing much I can do but just keep going, and I try to stay positive. I’m rooting for all the examinees who are continuing on their path, without comparing themselves to others! “Fighting!” ❤

DaHyun (Rocket Punch): I listen to this song whenever I feel like I need a boost of energy. I get a burst of drive and energy as soon as I play it, so I recommend this song to all the examinees like me! CSATs are just around the corner! I hope you keep at it until the very end and get great results! Fighting!!

Lee Si Eun - “A Letter to Me”

HYOJIN (ONF): This song is about consoling yourself to reach for your dreams. The chorus that goes, “I can do it, I’m doing great” never fails to cheer me up. I want to reach out to all the examinees with this song to tell them, “You can do it, you’re doing great.”

Girls’ Generation - “Way To Go”

J-US (ONF): You’ve come this far - I hope that you believe in yourself and keep up your confidence. Believe that you’re the best on the day of the CSATs, and don’t feel too pressured! I hope that you can keep up the good work, and strut into the exam hall with your head high, and keep up your energy, just like the upbeat sound and title of this song.

DAY6 - “Time of Our Life”

BAEK JI HEON (fromis_9): I listened to songs with a quick-paced beat the closer the exam got, to keep myself from worrying too much. There are lyrics that go, “I’m just thankful you’ve come this far” in the second verse. That’s exactly what I want to tell all the examinees after the exam. It will be just another beautiful day in our lives.

Ha Hyun Sang - “Highway”

SOOBIN (TOMORROW X TOGETHER): When you’re feeling confused and a bit empty inside because so many different thoughts fill your head, then I hope that you keep believing in yourself even if you find yourself straying a bit. Let the past stay in the past, and think of all the wonderful things that will come your way in the future just like the lyrics to this song! Stay healthy, and be happy everyday!

BTS - “Whalien 52”

Jihan (Weeekly): I listened to this song whenever I needed a boost of energy since I was little! It’s an unforgettable song with candid lyrics about loneliness told through the story of a mysterious whale named 52-hertz. I highly recommend this classic!

BTS - “00:00 (Zero O’Clock)”

Yoon (STAYC): I listen to this song whenever I feel exhausted or having a hard time. I want to play this song to everyone out there who have been pushing themselves everyday for the exam. I hope that you prioritize your health, always! I’m rooting for you! Fighting!

JVKE - “golden hour”

HEESEUNG (ENHYPEN): I want to cheer for every one of you who will shine like the glorious sunrise. I really hope that you get good results after working so hard for the past few hundred days!! Keep up the good work!!!
