@Gongbuhaja Oh, that’s interesting! Having a three month break before entering college sounds nice. Although I’m sure it’s much needed after all that studying done in preparation for the 수능 haha.
I can see why people would want to spend that time preparing for college life, including getting a license.

Do most people get a driver’s license in South Korea? In the US it seems like almost everyone tries to get a license as soon as they are old enough, so I was wondering if it was the same over in South Korea. See a translation

almost everyone tries to get a driver's license even they don't have a car

@belgiumfries Same as the US. Everyone around me has a driver's license. We usually get it before we enter college, after taking the 수능 exam.

@belgiumfries The biggest reason for Koreans to get a driver's license after the 수능 is because there's about three months' free time/break before entering college. Anyway, since almost all Koreans have a driver's license, those who don't have it can even be seen weird.
