[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] On the 19th, controversy arose after posts claiming that questions were leaked in advance appeared on online communities regarding the police constable recruitment written exam held at 94 schools nationwide. The police have begun verifying the facts.

According to the police, the written exam for police constable recruitment, held at 94 schools under 17 local police agencies nationwide, had 51,419 applicants competing for 2,735 positions, resulting in a competition ratio of 18.8 to 1. The exam was conducted for 100 minutes from 10:00 AM to 11:40 AM.

However, after the exam, posts appeared on police-related online communities claiming that some of the written exam questions were leaked. The issue was with question number 9 of the elective subject "Introduction to Police Science," which was incorrectly set, and it was alleged that some exam sites had written the corrected question on the blackboard before the exam started.

In particular, since this was before the submission of personal belongings such as mobile phones and books, there were even claims that some examinees could have found the answers in advance.

As the controversy grew, the police began verifying the facts. A police agency official stated, "We are currently verifying the facts regarding the related matter," and added, "After confirming whether the questions were leaked, we will discuss further measures."
