The six members of ‘Brain Academy’ unfortunately failed to win the knowledge medal in the ‘politics field’.

On the 4th episode of Channel A’s knowledge-charging quiz show ‘Brain Academy’, which aired on the 19th, the six ‘celebrity brains’ Jeon Hyun-moo, Ha Seok-jin, Lee Sang-yeop, Yoon So-hee, Hwang Je-seong, and Gwido took part in a political quiz on the topic of ‘democracy’ with ‘political master’ Professor Kim Ji-yoon.Although they missed the last question and failed to win the ‘knowledge medal’, they showed off their ‘knowledge chemistry’ that grows day by day, giving viewers a wealth of knowledge and fun.

On this day, when ‘Brain 6’ revealed ‘politics’ as the keyword for the quiz, following architecture, psychology, and science, the ‘Brain 6’ mentioned Dr.Kim Ji-yoon without exception.Dr.Kim Ji-yoon, who appeared right after, said, “Today’s topic is ‘How did the people become the masters of the country?’” and ‘History Brain’ Lee Sang-yeop expressed his determination by saying, “Today, I will go to the Master Zone and receive the knowledge medal.” However, the first to stand out was ‘Science Brain’ Gwak-gwa.When Dr.Kim Ji-yoon said, “There is an important element of democracy,” Gwak-gwa immediately answered, “Election!” and when asked, “What do people do during elections?” Gwak-gwa shouted, “Vote!” In response, Dr.Kim Ji-yoon praised him, saying, “Hey, disciple~” and then asked a quiz related to the election, “Choose two ballots that are invalid.” Gwak-gwa answered correctly, adding to the surprise.

While Orbit showed early strength, Dr.Kim Ji-yoon said, “Athens was the first country to attempt democracy,” and posed the question, “The etymology of Idiot is the ancient Greek word Idiotes.What kind of person did Idiot mean?” Orbit tossed the chance for the correct answer, saying, “I would like to ask the ‘language brain’ Jeon Hyun-moo for his opinion,” but Jeon Hyun-moo suddenly counterattacked, saying, “(The meaning of Idiot is)stupid, but you are Idiot! “causing an explosion of laughter.Then, Lee Sang-yeop said,” Voters who did not participate in the vote! “and Dr.Kim Ji-yoon acknowledged this as the correct answer, heating up the studio.

After a while, when Dr.Kim Ji-yoon asked,” Who said that lottery is a principle of democracy and elections are a principle of transitional government?”, Lee Sang-yeop, who received a boost, answered, “Aristotle.” When he was explained, “At the same time, there was a country with a similar political system to Athens,” he shouted, “Rome!” and received applause from everyone.Dr.Kim Ji-yoon praised him, saying, “As expected, a history brain!” , and Jeon Hyun-moo and Ha Seok-jin also respected him, saying, “This is Sang-yeop’s era~.” Following this, a quiz was given, “When choosing two consuls from 367 BC, there was a condition that was absolutely necessary for one of them.What was this condition?” Jeon Hyun-moo answered correctly, saying, “One of them must be a commoner.” While the “liberal arts line” was continuing its active performance, a quiz was given asking, “Caesar is the first in Roman history to create something with his own face engraved on it.What is this?” Yoon So-hee from the “science department” answered correctly, saying, “Could it be currency(coin)?”

Next, Dr.Kim Ji-yoon mentioned Louis XIV of England and said, “There was a time when parliament put a wedge in the check on the monarchy.” Then Jeon Hyun-moo answered, “Glorious Revolution,” and even explained the difficult knowledge term “Bill of Rights,” turning the scene upside down.Amid Jeon Hyun-moo’s active performance, Dr.Kim Ji-yoon posed a quiz, “What is the election method stipulated by law in England to supplement the problems of elections?” Jeon Hyun-moo once again recited the election methods, saying, “General, equal, secret, direct,” and Gok-gwi and Yoon So-hee continued their parade of correct answers by simultaneously saying, “It must be ‘secret’.” However, while talking about the “separation of powers,” Dr.Kim Ji-yoon said, “Who becomes president has become important,” and asked a surprise quiz to “List the US presidents in order of their terms of office,” putting the “Brain Six” in a difficult position.Fortunately, they solved the question by inferring the correct answer based on the Kennedy assassination and Nixon’s Watergate scandal.

Dr.Kim Ji-yoon summoned the current US President Donald Trump, saying, “Trump posts about 17 SNS posts a day on average.” Jeon Hyun-moo laughed, saying, “(Trump)is so MZ~, “and Ha Seok-jin honestly said,” I think he needs a digital detox, “causing an uproar of laughter.Immediately after, Dr.Kim Ji-yoon said,” President Trump has caused controversy by uploading fake AI images without notice, “and asked,” Find the real picture of President Trump among the following.”Amidst the mix of AI and real pictures, Jeon Hyun-moo showed off his clever reasoning skills, saying,” I’ve never seen a picture as kind as number 4.You’re out! “Yoon So-hee showed off her ‘eagle eye’ by saying,” Isn’t the color of the tie important? “and Gwanghyang pointed out,” The out-of-focus of number 3 is strange,” but failed to answer all of them correctly.The ‘Brain Six’, who missed the last quiz, failed to receive the ‘Knowledge Medal’ in the political field and promised to try again next time.

Channel A’s ‘Brain Academy’, a knowledge quiz show where participants try to win a ‘knowledge medal’ by answering high-quality quizzes given by the best scholars in Korea, airs every Thursday at 10 PM.
