Attention is focused on whether Yoon So-hee of ‘Brain Academy’ will emerge as the savior who will save the six ‘celebrity brains’ from their greatest crisis ever.

On the 3rd episode of Channel A’s knowledge-charging quiz show ‘Brain Academy’ on the 12th, Professor Kim Sang-wook, the ‘science master’, will appear, and the 6 ‘celebrity brains’ Jeon Hyun-moo, Ha Seok-jin, Lee Sang-yeop, Yoon So-hee, Hwang Je-seong, and Gwang-do will all lament that the problem is “difficult.”

On this day, Professor Kim Sang-wook mentions the ‘heliocentric theory’ that he advocated, saying, “Let’s talk about Galileo Galilei, the ‘father of science’ who created modern science.” Then, he poses a surprise quiz, and Hwang Je-seong, who heard the question, adds a unique deduction, saying, “I think I saw it on a ‘Surprise’ broadcast before…” In response, Jeon Hyun-moo asks, “You have to remember what comes after ‘Surprise’.Didn’t he say ‘lie’ after that?” causing an explosion of laughter.

As curiosity grows over whether the ‘Brain Six’ will solve the quiz with their lively reasoning, Professor Kim Sang-wook says, “After Galileo Galilei died, a great scientist who would bring about a new scientific revolution was born,” and moves on to the story of ‘Isaac Newton.’ He explains Newton’s amazing scientific achievements in an easy and fun way, but then suddenly throws a surprising quiz, shocking everyone.Even the confident ‘Science Brain’ lets out a deep sigh, saying, “I don’t remember either.”

In the midst of an unprecedented crisis, Yoon So-hee triggers her big hit instinct and sends goosebumps through the studio.Jeon Hyun-moo shuts his mouth at Yoon So-hee’s reasoning, saying, “What would we have done without Yoon So-hee?” and Hwang Je-seong becomes a fan, saying, “What on earth is So-hee?” While attention is focused on whether Yoon So-hee’s reasoning is correct, Professor Kim Sang-wook talks about the scientific revolution caused by female scientist Marie Curie and poses a quiz related to the ‘element symbols’.

In a situation where everyone is in a state of collective mental breakdown, saying, “Oh no!” , Professor Kim Sang-wook says, “There were many things about Marie Curie’s research that could not be seen without tears,” and adds a story about her life of research.Lee Sang-yeop, who was listening to this earnestly, starts to cry, saying, “This is so touching.”

You can see what kind of unprecedented performance the ‘Brain 6’ will show on the 3rd episode of Channel A’s knowledge-filling quiz show ‘Brain Academy’, which will air on Thursday the 12th at 10 PM.
