What netizens are saying
They look like normal glasses — how would proctors even tell?
Jam signals or hand out exam-issued glasses instead.
Loud penalties are a deterrent by themselves.
Why Koreans care
The Suneung decides university admission for most Korean students in a single day, so anything that threatens its fairness becomes national news.
Our take
Tech moves faster than exam halls. Designing tests where AI help is useless may work better than catching it.
