A surprising question during a music midterm exam has netizens raising their eyebrows.

A recent post on an online community entitled 'A scary music exam' revealed that during the test, one question was a fill-in-the-blanks style.  The 3-part question particularly surprised everybody with the last part, asking how many members are in idol group EXO. For the students who had no interest in the K-Pop music scene, they were at a complete loss.

'A', who posted this online, wrote that due to this question, s/he was unable to get a perfect score, wondering, "How am I supposed to know how many members are in EXO..." Especially considering how the number has constantly been changing the past year, and this could technically be a trick question.

Netizens responded with, "It's flustering that a music test would ask for the number of members, but what does that even have to do with idol group's music?" "I can't tell what the purpose of taking this exam is," and more, criticizing the teacher.  If anything, it should've been a bonus question... what do you think?
