Hong Jun-pyo: "Excluding President Killer Questions from Exams is an Appropriate Measure"

Hong Jun-pyo, the mayor of Daegu, evaluated President Yoon Seok-yeol's decision to exclude 'killer questions' as an appropriate measure.

On the 23rd, Mayor Hong stated on his social networking service (SNS) that during his university entrance exam, "A game theory question, which I had never heard of before, appeared as a high-scoring problem. Later, it was revealed that this game theory question was already well known to students attending famous academies in Seoul."

Killer questions refer to extremely difficult problems in the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), and there is an ongoing debate between the logic that they are indispensable for differentiation and the argument that they only enrich the private education market. President Yoon instructed to exclude killer questions and to set exam questions based on textbooks.

He said, "I couldn't even touch that game theory question and focused only on other problems. (The game theory question) was reportedly easily solved by students who had retaken the exam after attending that academy," adding, "I think that is exactly what a killer question is."
