Yonsei University Considers Criminal Charges Against Applicant Who Wore AI Glasses During Essay Exam

Yonsei University announced today (the 22nd) that it is considering filing a criminal complaint against an applicant who wore smart glasses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) functions during the essay exam.

Yonsei stated, "We will respond strictly by applying a zero-tolerance principle to any actions that undermine the fairness and reliability of the admissions process."

During the math essay exam for natural sciences and integrated tracks, which took place at 10:30 a.m. on the 10th at Yonsei University's Sinchon Campus in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, an applicant identified as A was caught wearing smart glasses.

During the exam, a proctor noticed that the student's glasses looked different from regular glasses and reported it to the exam headquarters. The school confiscated applicant A's glasses, and applicant A also admitted to wearing the smart glasses.

Yonsei plans to fail applicant A for the 2027 academic year essay exam and strip them of eligibility to apply for the early admissions process for the 2028 academic year.
