[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Trot singer Nam Seung-min opened up about his college entrance exam concerns.

On the 19th episode of MBC's 'Study is Money?' Nam Seung-min appeared with his parents and shared, "Since appearing on 'Mr. Trot,' my schedule has become busier."

Living alone in Seoul, he commutes to his parents' home in Changwon, a 5-hour round trip, balancing both studying and his singing career.

Seung-min, a high school senior this year, expressed worry as there are only about five months left until the college entrance exam. He said, "I feel like my grades are dropping," and "I don't know how to prepare for the entrance exam."

Nam Seung-min's father lamented, "Actually, Seung-min studied well until middle school. But his grades gradually declined after entering high school."

Having returned to school after about 4 to 5 months due to the delayed semester start, Seung-min told his friends, "I want to go to the composition department."

He explained, "I have nurtured this dream since high school," adding, "I want to compose and give songs to others."

In response, Yoon Il-sang advised, "Composition depends on whether you have the ability to imagine melodies."

Nam Seung-min said, "I'm worried my grades will drop because I can't attend classes," and added, "I study during the spare time while commuting between Seoul and Changwon."
