When Jeon Hyun-moo said in front of cognitive psychologist Professor Kim Kyung-il that he had “no desire for power at all,” an embarrassing situation occurred where he lost all his money.

In the second episode of Channel A’s ‘Brain Academy’, which will air on the 5th, cognitive psychologist Professor Kim Kyung-il will appear as a master in the field of ‘psychology’ and will be depicted emitting pleasant chemistry(harmony or breathing, abbreviated as chemistry)with the ‘6 brains of the entertainment industry’ while asking various psychology-related quizzes.

According to the production team, on this day, Professor Kim Kyung-il will tell an interesting story about psychology amid the warm hospitality of the ‘Brain Six’ Jeon Hyun-moo, Ha Seok-jin, Lee Sang-yeop, Yoon So-hee, Hwang Je-seong, and Gwak.In particular, Professor Kim Kyung-il surprised everyone by saying, “There are people whose fundamental way the brain handles the mind is completely different(from ordinary people).” He explained, “In psychology, this is explained with the term ‘dark triangle,’ and its three axes are ‘narcissism-Machiavellianism-psychopathy.’”








After explaining the three axes in more detail, he suddenly asks, “Is there a type that you are familiar with among these?” Ha Seok-jin then makes a confessional-level statement, “Isn’t this a tendency that we all have a little bit?” After hearing this, Orbit says, “I used to like Seok-jin hyung… He’s the dark Ha Seok-jin~” and causes the set to burst into laughter.On the other hand, Jeon Hyun-moo claims that he has nothing to do with the “dark triangle” by saying, “I have no desire for power at all,” but Professor Kim Kyung-il embarrasses Jeon Hyun-moo with a sharp psychological analysis.

While curiosity is growing about Professor Kim Kyung-il’s ‘fact violence’ -level psychological analysis, Professor Kim Kyung-il tells a more in-depth story about ‘psychopaths’.Professor Kim Kyung-il says, “Canadian criminal psychologist Robert Hare studied the psychology of violent criminals and created a diagnostic tool called ‘PCL - R’, which is still the standard criterion for evaluating psychopaths.” At this time, Gwak-gwang’s eyes sparkle and he says, “Isn’t the next question from a psychopath diagnostic test? I think a psychopath among us would be able to answer it.And the person who answers that question is a psychopath!” , making everyone goosebumps.Immediately after, Professor Kim Kyung-il poses a quiz, and Lee Sang-yeop calmly begins to reason, saying, “I’ve played the role of a psychopath twice(in the work).” Gwak-gwang also tries a unique approach, saying, “Let’s think about when we go on a blind date,” and attention is focused on whether the ‘Brain Six’ will be able to work together to answer this question.

The broadcast is at 10pm on the 5th.
