SNSD’s Yuri and Yoona appear on the Japanese SAT

SNSD’s Yuri and Yoona are creating a stir because their names appear on the Japanese SAT.

On January 14, two characters named Yuri and Yoona appeared in a Korean test that was held at a Japanese University.

In this Korean subject test at paragraph 2-C, problem number 7, ‘Yuri couldn’t say a word because she was ( ) shocked.’ Appeared and asked to fill in the parenthesis. The answer is ‘very.’

Not only that, a multiple choice question was asked at paragraph 2-C, problem 8. It asked, ‘Yoona went to school after ( ) cooking rice.’ The answer is ‘cursorily.’

There’s no actual evidence that the questions are stating SNSD themselves. However, the test being a Korean Subject test, and all the results of the search ‘Yoona (ユナ)’ relating to SNSD’s Yoona, one can assume that Korean Wave have influenced this test greatly.

Korean Subject was adapted in 2002 before the Korea Japanese World Cup. Therefore, Japanese students can learn one of the following languages: Korean, English, French, German, and Chinese and take a test afterwards
