A message that an exam taker received from a father after getting a poor score on the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test is drawing attention.
On the 14th, an online community carried a post titled "I messed up the CSAT, look at my dad's KakaoTalk."
In the message the daughter shared, it says, "My precious youngest daughter. Don't get frustrated just because your score didn't come out well. The reason Dad makes money is because of you and your older sister, and Dad's ability is still rock-solid."
The father said, "I can afford to feed my two princesses good things for life, even if not the most expensive, so just trust Dad and live with confidence. If you want to take the CSAT one more time, you can take it again, or you can travel, or skip college and try everything you want."
He went on, "I just hope you don't slump like a dopey person. And as for 5 million won, there are lots of fun environments these days that I never got to experience, so I hope you girls try them and tell Dad about them."
He added, "I asked your sister, and she said she put it in stocks and it was cut in half. I hope you don't use it only like that. That's all for now—sweet dreams. I love you. You worked hard."
Online users reacted by saying, "The older sister is the most striking," "I'm moved. Having a dad like that seems luckier than getting a perfect CSAT score," "The father worked hard so his kid wouldn't lose confidence. Who wouldn't do well with a father like that," and "People with harmonious families are the ones I envy most in the world."
