"Baekhyun's Cinderella... or Just a Shiny Distraction?"

Baekhyun Academy—the school for the rich, richer, and ridiculously privileged—just "opened its golden gates" to five poor students. Shocking, we know.
According to the school, it's all part of a new "fairness initiative." According to everyone else? It's a rushed PR bandage on a bleeding reputation.
Just last month, a few Baekhyun students were caught bullying scholarship kids from a public school, calling them names like "charity cases." Then came the leaked records—students buying their way into top universities, grades optional.
Cue outrage. Cue the sudden launch of a "diversity program." And now, meet their poster girl: Song Hae-won, 17, noodle shop kid, never even applied. Her name was magically picked and posted online, circled in red. Now she's trending.
She didn't ask for it. She didn't even know about it. But that hasn't stopped the media from dubbing her Baekhyun's Cinderella.
One problem though—
Cinderella actually wanted to go to the ball.
