Yonsei University applicant confesses the truth... ”I forwarded the essay questions to a friend at another exam center” = Korea

At a test center where the Yonsei University Natural Sequence Essay Test was mistakenly distributed an hour early, a test-taker sent some information about the questions to other test-takers via mobile phone before the test started.
A person in his 20s who is currently working on a class action lawsuit for students and parents of natural-language students said on the 17th, "A student who was at the exam center where the exam papers were distributed early said, 'I was told by a friend at 1 p.m., 30 minutes before the exam started.
"It was confirmed that at 27 minutes, he sent a message (on his cell phone) to a fellow test-taker who was in another testing center, providing information regarding some of the essay questions."
Mr. A said that the test-taker who sent the message had confessed the truth and that the contents of three of the six questions were conveyed.
Mr. A said, "(The contents of the message) were information about the questions, and I did not share all of the details of the problem," but added, "If any information can help solve the problem, I will not share it."
Some students and parents who took the natural sciences essay test are preparing a class action lawsuit to invalidate the current essay test and to apply for a provisional injunction to suspend its effectiveness, claiming that the test's fairness has been compromised.
According to Mr. A, the number of people filing lawsuits has not yet been determined, but by around 3:00 p.m. on that day, the number of students and parents who had expressed their intention to participate had increased to about 100.
Mr. A said, "We plan to close the recruitment of participants today and sign a contract to appoint a lawyer. We will file a lawsuit within the next week."
Prior to this, on the 12th, at a testing center where Yonsei University's ongoing Natural Sequence Essay Exam was being held, an accident occurred when a supervisor mistakenly distributed question papers about an hour before the start of the exam, and then the papers were collected.
After the exams, photos of the natural sciences exam question paper and practice answers for the humanities exam, which appeared to have been taken by test-takers, were shared on online communities, intensifying the controversy over the leak of the exam questions.
As the controversy spread, Yonsei University on the 15th filed charges of obstruction of business against test-takers who had photographed the test papers and posted them online, claiming that the fairness of the exam had been undermined.
The university, which had been adamant in its stance that retests would not be allowed, said it would consider retesting the exams if the police investigation concluded that there had been any acts that undermined the fairness of the exams.
Regarding whether or not the move will be implemented, he stated, "We intend to keep all possibilities open."
