Channel A's 'Brain Academy' has revealed on-set stills capturing the cheerful first meeting of the 'entertainment industry representative brains,' six individuals.
Set to air its first broadcast on Thursday, Nov. 29, at 10 p.m., Channel A's 'Brain Academy' challenges the 'entertainment industry representative brains,' led by Jun Hyun-moo, to correctly answer high-quality quizzes created by South Korea's top scholars in a knowledge-filled quiz show. Each week, a master representing a specific field will present high-level step-by-step quizzes, during which the six 'brain family' members are anticipated to bring beneficial laughter with their rich teamwork and 'true friend chemistry.'
Amid this excitement, the production team showcased the first on-set stills capturing the 'brain chemistry' of Jun Hyun-moo, Ha Suk-jin, Lee Sang-yeob, Yoon So-hee, Hwang Je-seong, and Kweido, raising expectations for the main broadcast. In the stills, the 'brain six members' are seen sitting in the studio, engaging in conversation with bright expressions. Notably, Ha Suk-jin, the season 1 champion of Netflix's 'Devil's Plan,' and Kweido, the season 1 runner-up, as well as Yoon So-hee, who is currently making a remarkable presence in season 2, create an atmosphere worthy of the 'hall of fame.' The youngest member, Yoon So-hee, though the youngest, exudes a strong and decisive aura, and earned everyone's respect for showcasing impressive focus while solving problems.
As expectations rise for their dynamic activities, Lee Sang-yeob brought out the 'Korean history level 1 certification' to showcase, while Hwang Je-seong made an appearance wearing glasses, radiating 'reverse brain' energy.
In a previously released teaser, Hwang Je-seong reacted sharply to Jun Hyun-moo's remark doubting his abilities, stating, 'I ranked 6th in my entire school during my student days. I have never missed an A+ grade at Sungkyunkwan University in the mathematics section of the College Scholastic Ability Test.' This generated buzz. In the first recording studio, Hwang Je-seong appeared with glasses, demonstrating his considerable presence as a 'reverse brain' while eagerly answering questions.
As the challenge spirit of the 'brain six members' heated up the studio, the on-set stills also featured Professor Yoo Hyun-jun, a 'scholar in the field of architecture,' which brought delight. Professor Yoo Hyun-jun from Hongik University appeared as the master of the first episode, presenting architecture-related quizzes with 'knowledge medals' and prize money at stake for the 'brain six members.' The 'brain six members' enthusiastically welcomed Professor Yoo Hyun-jun's appearance, exclaiming, 'We have no problem with the field of architecture,' though the reason remains to be revealed during the broadcast. It remains to be seen whether they can successfully acquire the 'knowledge medals' by collaboratively solving the quizzes posed by Professor Yoo Hyun-jun.
The production team noted, 'The eldest of the 'brain six members,' Jun Hyun-moo, not only exudes a continuing 'brainy brother' chemistry with Ha Suk-jin but also playfully bickers with Kweido, creating a lively atmosphere from the very first recording without any awkwardness. Lee Sang-yeob and Yoon So-hee both demonstrated their genuine passion for the quizzes, while Hwang Je-seong showcased his intellectual charm as a 'reverse brain,' surprising everyone. Viewers can look forward to the teamwork of the six members, who stake their pride as 'entertainment industry representatives' as they solve quizzes presented by South Korea's top scholars.
