Stand By Youth

After failing his college entrance exams, Hyungmo Yang is left with no alternative but to enroll in a specialized cram school to prepare for his next attempt. However, his path to academic redemption is fraught with overwhelming obstacles. His family is struggling financially, his new classmates are a rowdy group of delinquents, and his best friend is an unrepentable distraction obsessed with adult entertainment. With so many hurdles standing in his way, passing the upcoming exam feels like an impossible feat. Amidst this chaotic environment, a beautiful and enigmatic girl named Sora enters his life. Her mere presence—and especially her voice—brings a much-needed sense of hope to Hyungmo’s otherwise bleak circumstances. She becomes a beacon of light in his dismal daily routine, giving him a renewed reason to push forward despite the odds stacked against him. Yet, as Hyungmo quickly discovers, the journey through life rarely comes with clear-cut solutions or guaranteed outcomes. Balancing the intense pressure of his studies with his growing feelings proves to be a formidable challenge. Ultimately, he must navigate this turbulent chapter of his youth to determine if he can secure the grades he desperately needs while also winning the heart of the girl who changed everything.
