"WHERE DO you live?" "Ah... I... I live in Songpa District." Yonsilly is embarrassed at a sudden question in the solemn atmosphere. "How long did it take to get here?" "Ah... about an hour and a half." "Oh, you might be tired. OK, you can leave now."

   For the 2005 spring semester early decision interview, several professors asked interviewees where they live. After the interviews, the applicants criticized the school authorities for trying to select students who live in Gangnam area. Though the school authorities say that a residential area is not reflected in student selection, there is constant controversy concerning interviews. The professors should know their unnecessary question results in a loss of credibility concerning the entrance procedure.
