Is South Korea's university entrance exam being misused for political purposes? If you access the fictitious address in the question...

On the 14th, South Korea held the College Scholastic Ability Test (School Scholastic Ability Test), which is equivalent to the Japanese Common Test for University Admissions. This year, about 520,000 people applied.
In South Korea, where many students are accepted, the CSAT is an important exam that is said to "decide the course of one's life," but this year a serious incident occurred in which the exam could be seen as being misused for political purposes. What on earth happened?
The high school entrance exam is held every November. There are two types of university entrance exams in Korea: regular and regular. Regular admissions are based on a comprehensive evaluation of school records, self-introduction letters, teacher recommendations, and interviews.
On the other hand, regular admissions are based on the results of the university entrance exam. On the day of the university entrance exam, priority is given to test takers in every way. Government offices and some companies delay arrival times to work, and Seoul's public transportation system increases subway and bus services.
In addition, airports around the country will be closed to aircraft during the listening test. This year was the same as in previous years. In addition, some students who were likely to be late were carried to the back of motorcycles.
There were also volunteers who took them to the exam venue. It goes without saying that Korean society is a "super-educational society." Among the many universities, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Korea University are the
These three schools are highly regarded as prestigious and difficult universities, and are collectively referred to as "SKY," an acronym for the alphabetical spelling of the schools. Students who apply to these schools plan to enter a large company after graduating from university.
" In addition, the medical school is very popular, and the quota for medical schools will be increased from next year, so this year the number of applicants to Seoul National University's medical school will be 73 (
The number of applicants to Korea University's College of Medicine has increased by 235 (13%) since last year, and the popularity of the university is accelerating. In Korea, the shortage of doctors is becoming serious, especially in rural areas.
In an attempt to alleviate this problem, the South Korean government announced in February this year that it would increase the number of admissions to medical schools by 2,000. The Yoon Seok-yeol administration said, "In order to protect the health and lives of the people, we cannot afford to delay the expansion of the number of doctors.
He called the increase in admissions a "temporary issue that cannot be ignored," and called for an increase in admissions. However, as soon as the government's policy was announced, the medical community expressed their intention to protest by mass resignations of trainees.
The impact has been widespread, with delays to regular medical examinations and surgeries at university hospitals that accept trainees. The confusion in the medical field has yet to be resolved. The Yoon administration has reduced the number of recruits for next year by about
The government decided to increase the number of students by 1,500. Perhaps due to the policy to increase the number of students in medical schools, the number of students taking the final exam this year exceeded 160,000 for the first time in 20 years. Korean media reported that there were many students who quit their universities to try to enter medical schools.
Meanwhile, when a fictitious internet address was listed in the text of the Korean language test for the high school finals, a notice for a rally to denounce President Yoon was temporarily displayed.
When the email address at the end of the dialogue-style question was accessed, it was met with a message saying, "Thank you to all the test-takers for your hard work," along with a message of President Yoon.
The link leads to a page (now closed) listing the date and time of a rally to denounce the government. The rally is scheduled to take place in Seoul on the 16th of this month.
The Ministry of Education (Ministry of Education) stated, "The link was created voluntarily during the exam preparation process, and the web page in question was updated after the exam paper was released.
The Korea Institute for Curriculum and Assessment stated that the address in the question was fictitious and had nothing to do with the rally.
"It is regrettable that the questions on the high school entrance exam were misused for political purposes," he said. The police, who have launched an investigation, said, "It does not appear to have been hacked. After the high school entrance exam questions were made public, someone
"It appears that after obtaining the link, they posted an announcement for the rally on the page it led to."
