Student sentiment has exploded after Lee Do, an Etoos social studies instructor who announced the suspension of his classes three weeks before the CSAT, went on to attend a press conference for a Netflix variety show and promote it on YouTube. We have summarized the timeline of the controversy and the key issues.

The Real Reason Public Sentiment Exploded in Real-Time for Etoos Instructor Lee Do, Who Discarded His Lectures 3 Weeks Before the CSAT

The test-taker communities and Etoos bulletin boards are absolute total chaos these days 🔥

At first, there were some reactions like, "She's resting because she's sick, isn't that going too far?"

Now that I've put the timeline together one by one, the atmosphere has changed drastically 😭

I wonder why the students are so angry with the CSAT right around the corner.

I'll pinpoint only the real key points that can't be simply explained by saying "I appeared on TV while sick" 👇

1. The core of the public outcry: the 'chronological order' is completely off.

모솔연애2 이투스 강사 이도, 2년 연속 수능 직전 강의 중단…실시간 민심 떡락한 진짜 이유는?

What angered the students the most was that the 'suspension of classes due to health' and 'broadcasting and social media activities' occurred in succession within just a few days.

Here is the breakdown by date 👇

October 29: Notice via handwritten letter regarding the inability to proceed with remaining lectures for Korean Geography and World Geography in preparation for the 2027 CSAT.

November 5: Attended the press conference for the Netflix variety show 'Devil's Plan: Dead Again'

November 5: A protest post titled 'Legendary Evader' appears on the Etoos bulletin board

Around November 8: Critical posts flood the Etoos bulletin board, media coverage begins

November 9: Personal YouTube channel launch and social media post requesting subscriptions become a hot topic

November 19: Day of the 2027 CSAT

Exactly 3 weeks from the lecture suspension announcement to the CSAT 💦

Since press conferences and YouTube channel promotions followed one after another in the meantime, people couldn't help but ask, "Are you sick when filming lectures but okay when airing?"

2. The 'Curriculum Deviation' Issue Pointed Out by Students

At the root of the anger was a truly fatal learning gap from the perspective of the test-takers.

I noticed a lot of posts from students on the Etoos bulletin board pointing this out 👇

Discontinued without completing the remaining curriculum

Protests regarding continued delays in lecture uploads

Claim that even the 2-3 Q&A posts uploaded daily were backlogged for over a week.

Complaints that old data is being used instead of the latest data (even a phrase like "2024 Endo-C in 2026?" appeared 😅)

The criticism that 'things were different' really stung me.

One student criticized the instructor for leaving like this after saying during the explanation of the September mock exam, “I will analyze the trends of the June and September mock exams and apply them all for the final exam, so you don’t need to study alone; you just need to follow along.”

It's hard to switch instructors in the middle of an online course, you know 😢

I heard that worried comments continued to pour in on the community as well, asking, "What about the kids who have been following Curry all this time?"

3. The decisive remarks at the production press conference and YouTube promotion

What poured fuel on the fire was the remarks made at the press conference.

Lee Do revealed at the event that he met PD Jung Jong-yeon in person at a Netflix event last year and requested to appear in the show.

They appealed by revealing their CSAT scores along with their self-introduction, and said that it was a 'dream stage' for them because it was a program they had enjoyed watching since childhood ✨

On top of that, on the 9th, news of the opening of a YouTube channel was even shared via Instagram Stories.

We ask you to participate in the channel name vote while waiting for 'Devil's Plan'.

There are two channel name candidates: 'Do You Know Yi Do?' and 'Talkative Yi Do'.

Attach the phrase "Please subscribe too!" along with the YouTube link

From the perspective of the students taking the course with only ten days left until the CSAT, it was a timing where their disappointment—feeling "Are we being put on the back burner?"—was bound to explode. 😭

4. "It was the same last year"… Distrust built up by repeated suspensions

The fact that this is 'not the first time' also played a significant role in making this controversy particularly big.

I also suspended some lectures last year due to health issues.

He explained that at the time, the deterioration of his corneal condition made it difficult to see the monitor and caused setbacks in writing textbooks.

He stated that he was recovering after receiving a warning from medical staff about the risk of vision loss.

So, the message board was flooded with reactions like this 👇

They suspended the lectures last year, and it's the same this year.

Do students have to study while accommodating the instructor's personal circumstances?

They have absolutely no sense of responsibility.

Posts comparing her to other instructors who go ahead with filming even when sick, as well as sharp comments telling her to "quit her teaching job and become an entertainer," are continuing to appear.

Of course, since health issues are something only the individual knows, there is also a cautious perspective.

However, it seems clear that trust was significantly shaken as the timing of the announcement overlapped with subsequent actions. 💡

5. Who is Instructor Lee Do? A Summary of His Broadcasting Activities

Lee Do is a social studies instructor affiliated with ETOOS who majored in geography education at Seoul National University, and he is 28 years old this year.

They were also quite active in broadcasting 👇

2025: Gained recognition for appearing in Netflix's 'I'm a Single But I Want to Date'.

May 2026: Appeared on KwakTube YouTube, guest appearance on a spin-off program for Season 2 of 'I'm a Born Single, But I Want to Date'

November 10, 2026: Netflix 'Devil's Plan: Dead Again' scheduled for release on Player

Because of this background, people among the students started saying, "Doesn't he want to be a celebrity rather than an instructor?"

It looks like this controversy won't easily die down until the CSAT is over. 🔥
