Proxy University Entrance Exam

Proxy University Entrance Exam (Korean: 대리수능; RR: Daerisuneung) is a South Korean television drama series scheduled for release in 2026. The series is directed by Park So-Yeon and written by Choi Soo, and it is distributed through the streaming platform TVING.

Plot

The narrative centers on the stark contrast between two students at a prestigious private high school. Nam Jae-Yeob (played by Bae Hyun-Sung) maintains an image of a perfect student, though this persona masks a more complex reality. In contrast, Kang Geon-Tae (played by Cha Kang-Yoon) is a high-achieving scholarship student from a low-income background whose primary ambition is to secure admission to a top-tier university.

The central conflict arises when Nam Jae-Yeob discovers a vulnerability in Kang Geon-Tae's life. Utilizing this leverage, Nam blackmails Kang into acting as a proxy to take a university entrance examination on his behalf, forcing the scholarship student into a precarious moral and legal dilemma.
