Lee Seung-kyu (center) cuts a cake congratulating him on entering Dangrim Elementary School in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, with his father (behind him) and teachers, Mar. 2. Lee was the only child in his year at the ceremony, one of 130 schools nationwide with only one student joining. 120 schools had no new kids, as more families leave rural areas for cities.
