No one will forget the humiliation that leader Sun Ye of Wonder Girls brought upon her band mates in February. While other Korean pop stars celebrated their success in the College entrance exams, the 19 year old kept her failure a secret for as long as she could.

Despite the negative comments netizens made when news of Sun Ye’s failure broke out, the JYP Entertainment idol group managed to catch the eyes of teachers around the nation. Even with one failure, one English speaking handicap (YooBin), two high school students, and only one successful student, Wonder Girls was asked to meet with children for a day at Chung Gye Chun, Seoul. The teachers of the Free Red Pens for Children campaign chose the leaders of the Tell Me craze to become ambassadors and lead the children to a brighter future. The girls themselves became teachers and taught students as well as bribed them with gifts to continue studying hard.

Boy, do those teachers need to get educated. Here’s a tip, future educators of the world, don’t let failures teach your children no matter how famous they are!
