Two Chinese were caught cheating on the test for those seeking to become a tour guide for foreign travelers, Jeju Dongbu Police Station said Monday.

The two, aged 38 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of using phones during the test at Jeju National University on Jeju Island on April 9.

Police said the two spoke with a broker through WeChat, a Chinese app for free messaging and calling, during the state-certificate test. Their cheating was discovered because of sound from their phones.

The suspects allegedly paid 2,500-5,000 yuan ($380-$770) to the broker after failing the test several times.
