A man in South Korea got caught out after having his twin brother take an entrance exam for him when he double booked himself
A South Korean man attempted to game his way to a finance job by getting his twin brother to sit an exam for him, only to be caught after getting a job at another company, according to aThe man, whose identity was not revealed, applied for two jobs at the Bank of Korea and the country's Financial Supervisory Service in 2022, only to find out he needed to sit exams for both jobs on the same day, according to a joint statement from BOK and FSS viewed by Bloomberg.
Rather than trying to rearrange one of the exams, the man asked his twin to take the FSS exam under his name. Both brothers passed the test and the man decided to continue both applications including another test and interview for FSS. He dropped out of the FSS application process after landing a job at BOK, Bloomberg reported.
He started working as an employee at the bank just this year. Although it wasn't clear how the banks discovered that he cheated, the BOK intends to take"stern disciplinary measures," against the staffer after doing both an internal investigation and one by an external investigative agency, per Bloomberg. South Korea is notorious for having a hyper-competitive job market, and for the length and intensity of work many people do.
