[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Additional crimes committed by Gwangju Daedong High School students who leaked final exam answers have been confirmed.

According to the Gwangju Western Police Station on the 27th, second-year Daedong High School students A and B were investigated to have leaked answers not only for the first semester final exams but also for the midterm exams.

They leaked exam questions and answers for a total of 16 subjects: 7 subjects during the midterms and 9 subjects during the finals.

Due to different elective subjects, the number of subjects taken using the leaked answers was 5 for the midterms and 7 for the finals.

The students took 8 subjects each for both the midterm and final exams.

English, the subject for which questions and answers were not leaked, was reported to have been scored in the 40s by one of the suspects.

The two students used a method of breaking into the school's faculty office and installing malware on the laptops of the teachers who created the exam questions.

During this process, the security and surveillance equipment in the faculty office did not operate, and closed-circuit television (CCTV) capable of capturing the crime scene was not installed.

They admitted most of the charges during police investigation, stating, "We wanted to get into a good university."

The police applied charges of obstruction of business against them and plan to additionally apply charges of trespassing. They are also reviewing whether to apply charges under the Information and Communications Network Act for accessing teachers' computers to steal exam questions and answers.

The police are conducting digital forensics on laptops seized from the students' residences and are investigating further crimes and the exact circumstances of the case.
