Channel A's college entrance exam survival program 'Teachers 3: Retake War' is launching as a large-scale project in which 100 retake students compete. The first episode airs on October 15 at 10 p.m.

Developed over four years of planning, this season features Jung Seung-je, Yoo Dae-jong, and Kim Ji-young participating as the 'Teacher-vengers,' carrying out missions to select one final winner. The program depicts the competition and growth of retake students challenging the last CSAT before the curriculum overhaul.

Why the 'Teacher-vengers' decided to appear

Jung Seung-je said the project matched the survival format he had envisioned and emphasized the importance of the right attitude in studying math. Yoo Dae-jong expressed his determination to correct retake students' bad habits and prejudices and provide practical help. Kim Ji-young said she decided to join in order to give students direction so their efforts lead to results and to instill in them the belief that 'you can do it.'

First impressions of one another

The three instructors gave different assessments of their first impressions. Jung Seung-je described Yoo Dae-jong as cute and Kim Ji-young as cool. Yoo Dae-jong was struck by the fact that although the three instructors differ in subjects and approaches, they share the same heart for students. Kim Ji-young mentioned Jung Seung-je's passion and Yoo Dae-jong's prudence, saying she felt a special energy at the moment the three united their hearts for the students.

Selection criteria for retake students: 'desperation, will, attitude, humility'

Desperation, will, attitude, and humility played important roles in selecting the retake students. Jung Seung-je tried to find students with potential, while Yoo Dae-jong valued students who acknowledged their shortcomings and were open to advice. Kim Ji-young said she wanted to play a role in providing direction to students who, despite their efforts, had not achieved results.

Working with Jeon Hyun-moo, Jang Young-ran, and Mimimynu

Regarding the chemistry with MCs Jeon Hyun-moo, Jang Young-ran, and Mimimynu, Jung Seung-je said it felt natural and comfortable since they had worked together for a long time. Yoo Dae-jong explained that the MCs solved test questions themselves and empathized with the students' difficulties. Kim Ji-young compared the three MCs' roles to harmonies in music and said she could not forget Jeon Hyun-moo's assessment of her.

Points to watch

Key points to watch include the diverse sides of various students, the structural reasons why scores do not rise, and the process of breaking through in moments of crisis. Jung Seung-je pointed to the way each student's varied way of life is revealed, while Yoo Dae-jong recommended watching the changes in study methods and habits. Kim Ji-young asked viewers to pay attention to crisis management skills and the process of overcoming failure.

Advice for students ahead of the CSAT

The three instructors offered practical advice and encouragement to students ahead of the CSAT. Jung Seung-je encouraged them not to give up in the remaining period and to do their best. Yoo Dae-jong emphasized that the CSAT is the first gateway in life and advised students to focus on the present rather than fear the outcome. Kim Ji-young said to turn anxiety into studying, refrain from drawing conclusions about one's own potential, and keep challenging oneself until the end.

'Teachers 3: Retake War,' featuring Jung Seung-je, Yoo Dae-jong, and Kim Ji-young together with MCs Jeon Hyun-moo, Jang Young-ran, and Mimimynu, will portray the competition and challenges of 100 retake students.
