The support kits contained CSAT watches for use on exam day, healing items to reduce stress, nutritional supplements, and snacks.

The focus was on providing practical support for the psychological stability and health management of students exhausted from prolonged exam preparations.

This initiative was designed not only to provide physical items but also to communicate the message that the local community stands in solidarity with students facing entrance exam pressures.

One school teacher said, "We're thankful that you remember and support the test takers every year," adding, "Such warm encouragement will be very meaningful for students who feel heightened tension and pressure ahead of the exam."

The Yeongyang County Youth Counseling and Welfare Center plans to continue operating counseling and support programs to help alleviate the psychological and emotional challenges students face during their academic and career journeys.

Oh Dochang, Yeongyang County Mayor, said, "I hope students who have worked hard toward their goals for such a long time will approach the test with peace of mind. We will continue to provide various forms of psychological and emotional support so that young people can prepare for their futures with healthy minds."

For young people preparing for the CSAT, what is needed is not only academic preparation. As anxiety and psychological pressure about entrance exams intensifies at this time of year, attentive community-level emotional support is also considered a vital part of youth policy.
