Jin Says Yup Yup Yup Yup?

By The Mahpiya Luta Times Staff

Super senior Jin Yup Jung shocked the Red Cloud community this morning by announcing over the loudspeaker that he would be returning next year for his unprecedented 4th year at Red Cloud as an international student. Jin Yup would be the first ever 3rd time super-duper senior in Red Cloud's storied history.

"I've never seen anything like that," said Social Studies teacher Matt Campbell. "I was shocked, stunned, and befuddled."

According to inside leads, The Mahpiya Luta Times has uncovered that Jin is in the pursuit of an American wife and is almost on the verge of success. This cannot be confirmed or denied, however.

There are rumors that Jin Yup will live on campus and teach two Korean language classes and an after-school program on Taekwondo. He is also pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a head basketball coach.

Jin hopes to finally pass Lakota Language I after three years of unsuccessful efforts. He also hopes to join the Lakota Language Bowl team in their pursuit of three consecutive LNI championships. 

Jin is in talks with previous exchange students and is trying to convince them to return to Red Cloud next year as well. We are not sure yet of their status, but he has contacted Tomo, Yuichi, Jun, Tank, and Monica. 

"I see Red Cloud as an international school. Korean language should be taught in all grades," said Jin.

Jin Yup's goals in returning to Red Cloud are as follows: to gain U.S. citizenship, to find true love, to ride his first horse in a rodeo, to dance at his first pow-wow in full regalia, and to return to the state wrestling tournament as a state-sanctioned ref.

Since Jin Yup has already been on multiple senior retreats and has memorized the schedule, Brad Held has inquired if he would be interested in being the faculty leader for next senior retreat.

"This is a revolutionary step for all international students," said senior Shawnta' Jones. "I look up to Jin Yup as a leader, a hero, and a sage."

Jin Yup's agent cannot be reached for comment.
