Ask what Korea is talking about.

The top scorer in this year's certified tax accountant qualification exam admitted Sunday that he used generative AI and a camera to cheat, reversing earlier denials, Yonhap reports. The Ministry of Economy and Finance said it is considering suspending his certification, and police have launched an investigation, KBS World reports. The government has announced a full review of all national qualification exams this year and is moving to cancel the top scorer's pass, Yonhap adds. The scandal has spread anxiety to all exams, with particular alarm over the college entrance exam (Suneung) four days away, Chosun Ilbo reports; the government says it will respond with all resources to prevent cheating there. A lawmaker has also sought a $4.9 million budget to detect AI smart glasses cheating, Korea Times reports. Korean reaction, as reflected in Chosun Ilbo, is that people now distrust all exams: "이제 모든 시험을 믿지 못하게 됐다" (Now we can't trust any exam).
