Ask what Korea is talking about.

The top scorer in Korea's certified tax accountant qualification exam admitted Sunday that he used generative AI and a camera to cheat, reversing his earlier denials, and turned himself in to police. Yonhap reports the candidate, identified only by his surname Han, submitted a self-surrender statement to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. In a YouTube video released by his lawyer, Lee Don-ho, Han said, "I wrote everything I did in the self-surrender statement and submitted it to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency," adding, "I deeply reflect on and regret what I did." Police have launched an investigation into the case. The admission follows government vows of zero tolerance against AI-assisted cheating in national exams, including the college entrance exam, after suspicions arose over unusually high scores.
