Why was the student, who brought their middle school bag to the exam, penalized for cheating on the college entrance exam?

Sigh...ㅠㅠ

This kind of thing also happens.

But why did the vibration go off on the unlocked phone?

Is this a disaster message? T_T

I went with a bag I used in middle school without properly checking, and there was a paperclip inside...

Unfortunately, that spare phone caused the vibration issue, which is the root of the problem ㅠㅠ

It's really unfortunate.

It may be heartbreaking for examinees and their families as well...

I can't really say anything because it was handled according to the regulations ㅠㅠ

Such things really happen, huh? ㅠㅠ

 

On the 14th, when the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test was held at a high school in Busan, a test taker was caught using a non-smartphone that they had used during middle school, and was marked as a cheater by the supervisor.

According to Newsis on the 15th, during the second period math exam at a high school in Busanjin-gu, Busan, the previous morning, a vibration sound was heard from the area in front of the classroom where bags were gathered.

The exam supervisor conducted a bag check after obtaining consent from the examinees once the exam in that area was finished, and found a mobile phone taken out from one examinee's bag.

It is reported that the examinee explained to the supervisor, "I brought a bag I used in middle school that I don't normally use, and I didn't know there was a secondary device inside." It is known that the examinee submitted their usual mobile phone to the supervisor before the exam began.

A representative from the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education stated, "No other mobile phones besides the examinee's phone were found, and we were unable to determine the cause of the vibration sound during the exam," adding, "Even if the phone is not in use, since it was found in the bag, it was handled as cheating according to regulations."
