Yonsei University Files Motion to Cancel Injunction Suspending Essay Test Validity for Examinees

Yonsei University has requested the court to cancel the decision to suspend the effectiveness of the essay exam in relation to the controversy over the leakage of essay questions for the 2025 academic year early admission. This is interpreted as a measure to announce the results of the first exam as scheduled on the 13th, since the second exam is set to be held.

According to the Seoul Western District Court on the 3rd, the university filed a motion to cancel the injunction that suspended the effectiveness of the essay exam the day before.

A motion to cancel an injunction is one way to oppose a previously granted injunction. There are two methods: filing an objection to the injunction, or filing a motion to cancel the injunction. In the case of an objection, the same court panel reviews it, and if dissatisfied, an appeal or immediate appeal can be filed to move to the second trial. In the case of a motion to cancel, a different court panel reviews it. If accepted, the previous decision is canceled.

The hearing for this case will be held on the 5th, the same day as the main lawsuit confirming the invalidity of the essay exam. The Seoul Western District Court partially accepted the examinees' motion to suspend effectiveness last month on the 15th. As a result, subsequent procedures, including the announcement of successful candidates for the natural sciences essay, were halted. Yonsei University, after its objection was rejected, has filed an immediate appeal with the Seoul High Court.
