“Korea Education Association warns Yuwei in advance that there will be a flood of applications on the day of the regular admissions closure”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Jeong-hoon = It was confirmed on the 11th that on the day of the 'failure' in the application reception for the 2027 college admissions that occurred last month, a prior warning was delivered to Uway, an application reception agency, that there may be a rush of applications during the deadline.

According to data submitted by Ko Min-jeong of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly's Education Committee, from the Korean Council for University Education (hereinafter referred to as the Korea University Education Association), the University Education Association sent an email containing this information to Uway Apply and Advancement Apply on the 11th of last month when the problem occurred.

In an email sent at 11:31 a.m. on the same day, the Korea University Education Association requested continuous monitoring and prompt response, saying, "The number of applications and connections is expected to be concentrated during the remaining time until the application deadline."

At the same time, he also mentioned, 'As the number of membership registrations and common applications has been confirmed to be lower compared to the same period last year, the number of application submissions and connections is expected to be concentrated during the closing time compared to normal years.'

Despite a request for advance preparation from the Korean Council on the morning of the day of the failure, the system for accepting applications for regular admissions suffered a disruption.

Rep. Go emphasized, “We will thoroughly investigate whether the accident occurred due to insufficient system management and proactive response by the application reception agency, Yuway, and hold them accountable.”
