Yes, the Seoul Western District Court rejected an objection filed by Yonsei University today (20th) in defiance of the provisional disposition to stop the follow-up procedure of the essay exam.
The court reviewed the additional materials, but explained that it still needed to suspend the validity of the essay tests.
As a result, follow-up procedures such as the announcement of successful applicants are expected to be suspended before the ruling of the lawsuit demanding a retest.
Yonsei University is in a position to appeal to the Seoul High Court immediately, but it has not made a separate position on the reason for appeal or follow-up measures.
The examinee pointed out that if Yonsei University raises an appeal again when the objection has been rejected, it will only take time.
At the same time, Yonsei University acknowledged that the fairness of the test has been undermined, and insisted that the test should be retested as soon as possible.
Earlier, during the appeal hearing held yesterday (19th), Yonsei University asked the court to reconsider its judgment, saying that students waiting for the announcement of successful candidates could be victims of good faith.
The test takers countered that the rights of 260 preliminary successful applicants could not take precedence over the rights of 10,000 people who took the test with compromised fairness.
With Yonsei University drawing the line that retesting or carrying over on time cannot be an alternative, legal battles are expected to continue and confusion among test takers will increase.
