The 'Brain Academy' host, Hwang Je-seong, brings laughter with subtle disses directed at Professor Kim Kyung-il, Ha Seok-jin, and Gweedo.
The second episode of the Channel A knowledge quiz show 'Brain Academy,' airing on the night of the 5th (Thursday) at 10 p.m., features Kim Kyung-il, a bestseller in cognitive psychology who graduated from the University of Texas and is known as 'the national mentor of the heart' with over 100 million cumulative views on YouTube. He will appear as the 'psychology master' and present a knowledge quiz about 'understanding the heart' to six 'entertainment industry brains': Jun Hyun-moo, Ha Seok-jin, Lee Sang-yeob, Yoon Sohui, Hwang Je-seong, and Gweedo, revealing a deep and insightful time of 'human exploration.'
On that day, as the members gathered, Jun Hyun-moo noted, 'We still don't have a medal,' looking longingly at the 'knowledge medal' zone that they could receive if they correctly answered all the scholar's questions. Last week, the members had invited 'the icon of the architecture world' Professor Yoo Hyun-jun as their first episode's master but unfortunately failed to earn the knowledge medal. In response, Hwang Je-seong testified, 'Since last week when we couldn't earn a medal in the 'team competition' and switched to an 'individual competition,' Ha Seok-jin hasn't even looked this way and is totally fired up.' Ha Seok-jin coolly acknowledged this, saying, 'It's because I'm from the survival genre~,' eliciting laughter.
Following that, Jun Hyun-moo previewed, 'Today’s field will be useful in real life and applicable immediately,' and the 'science line' members Ha Seok-jin, Yoon Sohui, and Gweedo predicted, 'It must be chemistry,' and 'A medical professional could also show up.' However, Hwang Je-seong said, 'The most difficult thing for us is human relationships, so I am eagerly waiting for Professor Kim Kyung-il,' joining his hands in anticipation. Shortly after, when 'psychology' was revealed as that day’s quiz topic, an excited Hwang Je-seong took the lead in introducing, 'This is the person referred to as the father of psychology in Korea! The number one with a sausage-shaped silhouette similar to mine!'
With anticipation from Hwang Je-seong, 'National heart mentor' Kim Kyung-il appears, and the 'brain six' burst into applause. Professor Kim Kyung-il greets, 'I am Kim Kyung-il, a cognitive psychologist who came dressed in sausage-colored clothes,' providing a witty introduction. He continues, 'Psychology is the study of human psychology and the heart. But what exactly is the heart?' To this, Gweedo answers, 'Isn't it the hormonal action or bodily changes that occur as the brain processes external information?' Surprised by Gweedo's stiff answer, the 'liberal arts line' members Lee Sang-yeob and Hwang Je-seong retorted, 'That's too scientific. There's no humanity in it~,' prompting more laughter.
As opinions split between the liberal arts and science lines, the scene turned chaotic. Viewers can find out what answer Professor Kim Kyung-il reveals during the second episode of the Channel A knowledge quiz show 'Brain Academy,' airing on the night of the 6th (Thursday) at 10 p.m.
