IVE member Leeseo will not be taking the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

According to reports on November 5 KST, Leeseo has decided not to sit for this year’s CSAT after extensive discussions, choosing instead to focus fully on her current promotional activities.

Other IVE members — including Jang Wonyoung and Liz — also previously opted not to take the CSAT, prioritizing their music careers over university admission.

Leeseo’s agency, Starship Entertainment, stated that her decision regarding higher education may be revisited later, depending on her personal wishes and career schedule, when she can devote proper time to her studies.

IVE, who debuted in 2021, has produced a string of hit songs including “ELEVEN,” “LOVE DIVE,” and “After LIKE.”

Most recently, the group successfully completed their three-day Seoul concert for their world tour “SHOW WHAT I AM” at KSPO DOME (formerly Olympic Gymnastics Arena) from October 31 to November 2.
