It's what connects the students, it's something they can relate to. Something like "You've been through the exact same pain as me".

I could be wrong tho, it's just my interpretation (￣з￣)

It can have multiple meanings. It's a symbol of the mark Heejae left on them through his abusive treatment of them in the name of finding their "sound", using his "knife". There's another layer involving seeing the scar, which means acknowledging and empathizing with the pain and trauma the person has. You can see it earlier when Garam sees Heejae's scar for the first time. At first he tries to close it up in an attempt to hate Heejae, but in the end he chooses to cut the stitches and dive headfirst into it (literally), opening himself up to understand Heejae's pain. This is mirrored when Heejae is seeing Garam's scar for the first time in 199.

Also see this Q&A on Postype:

Q: Does the scar Kim Heejae left mean anything big? Is it a mark that he's a disciple?
A: Please understand it as meaning that he was recognized by Kim Heejae. Han Garam had his sound recognized even before he entered, so he got the scar earlier than other disciples.

Knowing this, we can see why Joo Naeun doesn't have the mark. Heejae didn't use his "knife" on her as a student to find her sound, because he didn't see her as a gem worth cutting.

Thanks for explaining! this this was a very nice explanation to the scar symbolism
