Late actor Song Jae Lim's message to test-takers attracts attention again: ”In a society where there are no wrong answers, you are the right answer”

The late actor Song Jae-rim's past messages to students preparing for examinations are once again attracting attention after the sudden sad news was reported.

In November 2017, Song Jae-rim published a photo of himself on a motorbike through his SNS, stating that he was on his way home after supporting a motorbike to transport examinees.

At the time, Song Jae-rim had provided ‘transport service’ to take students to the examination venue on the day of the University Proficiency Test (equivalent to the Japanese Common Entrance Test for University Admission). As a well-known actor, it must not have been easy.

Later, Song Jae-rim appeared on a variety show and said, "Actually, I didn't pick up a single person that day. No one was late for the examinations and the road regulations were well set up", and he showed an embarrassed smile, saying, “I served a day on the day of the Master's Proficiency Test and it was written very well in the article.”

At that time, his message to the students was again noticed.

"Today, the day of the College Scholastic Ability Test. I send my fight to all students taking the exam. You will soon become adults. We congratulate you on entering a society with more questions and answers than an examination paper, but no wrong answers. Because you are the right answer", Song Jae-rim said.

Tomorrow (14th), when Song Jae-rim will be laid to rest, will be the day of this year's university entrance examinations.
