In Korea, if people want to go to college, they have to take a test. This is a scholastic aptitude test. The test was due on November 16, 2017. However, it was delayed after a week due to earthquakes. This time, the earthquake's place of origin is Pohang in Korea.

Following the quake, POSCO E&C maintains momentum for the ongoing progressive development of the Pohang earthquake. After the earthquake, Pohang is 43 times more susceptible to aftershocks.

The magnitude of the quake was felt lower than in the quake, but the earthquake was felt to be 9km underground, far better than 14 to 15 km quake. Because of the Pohang earthquake, some of the scholars and journalists speak their mind on liquefaction for the first time in Korea. However, relating to the earthquake, the weather center deferred their result. Liquefaction means strong earthquake hit the ground. The ground swings and mixes with the underground water. The ground has become squashy. This phenomenon is called liquefaction.

For this time, Korean High school third-grade students are affected too much. Korea has to take care more about the earthquake, and citizens have to conduct an evacuation drill. From now on, Korea is not in a safe zone.
