Suneung Smart Glasses Cheating to Face Criminal Charges, Ban Extended to 3 Years

The Education Ministry announced Thursday it will actively seek criminal charges or request investigations for those caught cheating on the Suneung college entrance exam using smart glasses, and is pushing to extend the exam suspension period from one year to three years, according to KBS World and Maeil Business News. This follows a planned nationwide survey of middle and high schools next month to gauge how many students have been caught using AI glasses to cheat on exams and what disciplinary measures were taken, KBS World reported. Korean media coverage focuses on the government's tougher stance, with outlets like Maeil Business News and Hankyung reporting the criminal referral and extended ban as breaking news, reflecting public concern over tech-enabled cheating in the high-stakes exam.
