in response to the read command, increasing a voltage of a plurality of unselected ground selection lines among the plurality of ground selection lines from an off voltage to an on voltage during a word line setup period;
applying a first voltage to a first selected ground selection line corresponding to a first process characteristic among a plurality of selected ground selection lines until a first time in the word line setup period;
applying a second voltage lower than the first voltage to the first selected ground selection line after the first time in the word line setup period;
applying the first voltage to a second selected ground selection line corresponding to a second process characteristic among the plurality of selected ground selection lines, until a second time earlier than the first time in the word line setup period; and
