Kim Min-seok reviews adjusting the timing of the competition rate announcement due to a disruption in regular admissions application submissions

Kim Minseok, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said he would review measures such as adjusting the timing of the announcement of application competition rates in connection with the confusion caused by a system failure in the university early admissions application process. In a post on the social networking service X on the 15th, Kim said that students and parents had experienced inconvenience due to the application system failure, adding that university admissions are within each university's authority, but management at the national level is also necessary. He said that, centered on the National Assembly's Education Committee, he would look into adjusting the timing of the competition rate announcement, checks to prevent further confusion, and followup measures. Floor leader Han Byungdo also expressed regret at a parliamentary strategy meeting and said the Ministry of Education and the relevant company should prepare relief measures for those affected and steps to prevent recurrence. This failure occurred on the 11th in the UwayApply system, just before the deadline for early admissions applications, and the Ministry of Education estimated the number of affected people at about 1,200. UwayApply is accepting applications for relief from testtakers who meet certain requirements.
