IU sends heartfelt message to students ahead of the 2026 CSAT

IU shares a warm message of support for students taking the 2026 CSAT.

On November 12 KST, a video titled “IU 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test Supporting Message” was uploaded to IU’s official YouTube channel 'dlwlrma'.

In the video, IU expressed her heartfelt concern for students taking this year’s College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), saying, “Around this time every year, I start feeling nervous even though I’m not the one taking the test. The weather gets colder, and I can’t help but worry about my Uaena.”

She continued, “I hope my Uaena friends can let go of their tension and go into the exam with a light heart—just go in, take the test calmly, and come out feeling good.”

IU added, “The results matter, but what’s even more important are all the days and effort you’ve put in up to now. Trust in those days, relax, and show your abilities just as you are. On that day, I hope all the energy of the universe gathers toward Uaena so that everything goes just the way you wish.”

She also encouraged, “That one day isn’t your whole life, but I hope you do your best and finish strong. I’ll be ready to say, ‘You did great. I’m proud of you.’ Don’t forget your test slip or ID, set your alarm properly, and go nail it! I hope your answer sheets bloom beautifully with circles. Fighting!”

The 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test took place on November 13 KST. IU has consistently shared messages of encouragement for test-takers every year, bringing warmth to her fans.

Meanwhile, IU is set to return in the first half of 2026 with her upcoming drama 'The Wife of the Great Prince of the 21st Century', co-starring actor Byun Woo Seok.
