Ask what Korea is talking about.

The top scorer in Korea's 63rd certified tax accountant qualification exam admitted Sunday that he used generative AI and a camera to cheat, reversing earlier denials, and turned himself in. Police have launched an investigation; Seoul police said they received the self-surrender statement through his lawyer and immediately assigned the case to the metropolitan investigation unit. The Ministry of Economy and Finance said it is considering suspending his certification, and the presidential office scheduled a policy meeting for Sunday afternoon chaired by policy chief Ha Jun-kyung, amid concerns ahead of the Nov. 19 college entrance exam. The government has vowed zero tolerance against AI smart glasses cheating in that exam, and a lawmaker has sought a $4.9 million budget to detect such devices. Korean media report that the admission has spread a perception that AI-based cheating is widespread, fueling anxiety before the Suneung.
