Kid writes 'clapping sounds' phonetically on exam and it's chaotic genius

Anonymous tweets: 'lol my little sibling took a Korean language exam and got three questions wrong. One of them was: Write the word 박수 (applause/clapping) as it sounds phonetically.'

Their answer: [짝] — which is actually correct! 짝짝짝 is the standard Korean onomatopoeia for clapping.

But then the bottom photo shows the actual exam paper. The teacher marked it WRONG and wrote the 'correct' answer: 박싹— (a more exaggerated clapping sound). The sibling's answer of 짝 got a big red X. The tweet then shows what the sibling apparently wrote in protest or alternatively answered: an absolute wall of ㄱ and ㄷ characters — basically typing out the rapid-fire sound of frantic clapping using individual Korean consonants (ㄱ = the 'k/g' click sound, repeated endlessly like a machine gun of claps). It's unhinged and hilarious.

Enjoyed this? Tap the heart.
