Since the 14th, when the College Scholastic Ability Test was held, online second-hand trading site Lightning Market has been posting requests for trading to get a mechanical pencil for this year's College Scholastic Ability Test.
Suneung Sharp is a regular collection of stationery lovers. This year, unlike in the past, when achromatic colors such as white, ocher, dark green brown, and beige were dominant or dark colors, they are gaining huge popularity due to their green color of pastel colors.
There was even an article posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he took the test to get a mechanical pencil for the College Scholastic Ability Test.
Since 2006, the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation and the Ministry of Education have been producing and distributing new colored mechanical pencils every year.
Suneung mechanical pencils are distributed to test takers to prevent cheating. In principle, personal mechanical pencils should not be carried around.
An official from the Korea Institute of Evaluation explained, "As the purpose is to prevent cheating, it is a principle to select a color that does not overlap with the past CSAT."
