This strange classroom phenomenon is a reflection of the mega-hit audition program “Produce 101,” known for its letter grading system. The judges assessed trainees’ looks, abilities and even management agencies’ sizes by giving letter grades from A to F.
The show stirred up a controversy as the harsh grading system spurring excessive competition.
