Runner-up Yoon Jeong-hu in the 63rd certified tax accountant exam posted a pass recap video on his YouTube channel “Heljjang Tax Accountant” on the 12th. As of 1 p.m. on the 15th, it had topped 870,000 views.
In the video, Yoon addressed rumors about “AI glasses,” saying, “I’ve never worn glasses in my life,” and added, “I wore them for the first time when I went to an apprenticeship interview because I worried I might look too young, and of course I didn’t wear them in the exam hall.”
Yoon also revealed the tax law study guides he used along with the methods that helped him place second with a total score of 602 (average 75.25). His books were worn from repeated use, with highlighter marks and notes throughout. “I kept reading this book on the subway to and from my academy,” Yoon said. “That’s why the book is really messy.”
Without a script or answer sheet, Yoon solved tax accounting questions on bad debts and allowance for bad debts on the spot in detail, demonstrating his skill. “I didn’t post this to brag,” he said. “I posted it hoping people would stop the indiscriminate criticism of the tax accountant exam and other professional certifications. It’s heartbreaking to see the current situation belittling the efforts of those preparing for the exam and those who passed.”
After the top scorer, identified only as A, confessed that he cheated using AI and electronic devices and turned himself in to police that day, comments poured in on Yoon’s YouTube video saying, “Congratulations to the real top scorer.”
