Description

 

Admission to IZONE University is highly selective and sorting is a big deal. It was closely similar to the system like aristocratic rank used in ancient Korean kingdom of Silla where they called it Bone Rank System, but they only adopted the idea and not the whole strict hereditary caste system as per basis. The type of method used in sorting was entirely different compared to Bone Rank, so if they will pass the admission phase, it’s likely that their classmates will be children of very powerful individuals and remarkable ancestral descent. Being sorted into a certain rank is essentially being placed into a big responsibility where the students must obey and act according to their ranks. Each rank is made up of people with the same social status, you will go to classes with, team up and everything in between. Basically, the ranking will determine the status of people in the school.

The moment the freshmen at IZONE University set their foot inside, they will be summoned by the University Council. The University Council will decide and sort them which tier you’ll be spending your 4 years with, after thorough investigation, background and evaluation check. For some, it is very obvious which rank they will be in, but others are uncertain where they may end up. When they get sorted it is based on your social status, inherited rank or privilege, skills and personality traits and the people in their rank are typically like-minded people who display the same characteristics.

When the student misbehaved or display inappropriate behaviors, despite their ranks in the school they will be immediately pushed outside the caste and will be sorted as F (outside the ranks) class. However, they will be given two chances to change their mischievous and unfavorable haughty demeanor, before they will officially return to their former or original tier. Of course, students from F class want to turn the status quo upside down and get the respect they think they deserve. After all the points were stripped from them they are now motivated to restore their honor, but that will not happen through written tests or exams.

Aside from the sorting system, the students will also undergo prestigious selection for individual ranking yearly that will determine their overall school performance. Students that will be ranked 1st to 12th in the school in spite from what year levels they belong will be automatically address as Elite Prefects, which means these students have a high and outstanding records and will have the highest authority and responsibilities among others. The students’ earned merits and individual achievement is their ticket to the higher rank.

Students usually wears the common plain white upper that which is matched with ribbons or ties, carved brooch from their rank sigils with specific metal value and pink nameplates with names carved in white matched with a blue and pink checkered skirt as uniform (Produce 48 uniform). However, the Elite Prefects have specific uniform aside from the regular one that makes them stand out among other students. They need to wear it in every occasions and ceremonies they attend outside or inside the campus, but they also have the privilege to wear it anytime they want. It is a red and black checkered suit (Skoolooks's) which is matched with black ties, black templates with names carved in gold and white sleeves matched with black pants or slacks as their uniform. Though Elite Prefects usually go around wearing the regular ones to hide their status from others, but the Rose brooch carved from the gems they always wear on their uniforms, with a specific color that each represents the prefect will never go unnoticeable.

Golden crest amulets of their ranks adorned with pink diamonds, will be also given to consistent Elite Prefects when they reached their senior year in the university. Not all prefects can maintain the consistency, some of the prefects also failed to make it to the top twelve every year after the individual ranking.

IZONE University is an elite school which is mainly for the children of the rich and privileged and they put a hierarchy into the level of collegiate educational system. Where students are subjected to a point system and is decided through their individual overall performance that determines their place in the hierarchy of the school. It is the only elite university that accepts only the most talented of students, filthy rich and uniquely genius that each of them has a title according to what she is a prodigy at. They are the offspring of the most influential and important leaders in South Korea and other countries from entrepreneurs, business figures and politicians to artists and diplomats.  They are the future of their family and country and as such, so the stakes when it comes to their education are high, quite literally.

If you want a school setting with rules and peculiar school hierarchies that are a little too hard to believe, then you have to give IZONE University a try.

Okay so i know chaeyeon and minju are arranged to be married, but can we get a kwonchaeng endgame? I love the dynamic that they have, especially with eunbi being all jealous and them basically acting like a couple already.

I'm rooting for KwonChaeng/BiYeon. I like their characters here and I want see their development here. To think that Eunbi rejected Chae on her first confession and now Chae will be getting married because of the arranged marriage. It makes me think what will happen next.
