The 'Brains' six-member team acquired the 'history field' knowledge medal.

On June 26th, in the 5th episode of Channel A's knowledge quiz show 'Brain Academy', the 'Brains' 6-member team was revealed as they solved history quizzes on 'Joseon Dynasty History' with 'History Master' Choi Taesung.

On this day, the 'Brains' gathered in the studio expressed their expectations for 'historical brain' Lee Sang-yeop as soon as 'history' was announced as the quiz keyword, following architecture, psychology, science, and politics. Immediately after, 'history master' Taesung, known as the legendary Korean history teacher "Big Star Teacher," appeared. Lee Sang-yeop, who earned an advanced level in Korean history by listening to his lectures, stood up and exclaimed, "History is by Taesung! My teacher!" which heated up the atmosphere. Taesung declared, "History is the best commentary. There is a history that must be carefully examined from this perspective. It is precisely Joseon. Therefore, I have decided to set the theme as 'How has Joseon influenced present-day South Korea?'" He then asked, "Who was the person who established Joseon?" Lee Sang-yeop immediately answered, "King Taejo Yi Seong-gye." From then on, Lee Sang-yeop continued to provide immediate answers to Taesung's questions, such as "Jongmyo" and "Jongmyo Jerye," showcasing his prowess as a 'correct answer vending machine.'

In the midst of this, Choi Taesung suddenly asked a pop quiz: "The four mountains that surround and protect Gyeongbokgung Palace in the east, west, south, and north, what are they?" Surprised by the unexpected question, Lee Sangyeop looked flustered. However, Hwangjesong quickly chimed in, mentioning his alma mater, Sungkyunkwan University, by asking, "What's the mountain next to our school?" Yoon Sohee confidently answered, "Bukhansan," and then added, "I think Naksan, which has a fortress, could also be correct. Also, there is a fortress on Namsan." Inspired by Yoon Sohee’s deduction, Hwangjesong added, "There definitely is a fortress on Namsan. My older brother has a building there, and I went to see it. He said the view of the fortress was great." With this unique deduction, he ultimately guessed the correct answer.

In the midst of collective intelligence shining brighter than ever, Choi Tae-sung posed a quiz: "What did Taejong do to properly manage something that failed in its role in improving Hanyang's urban hygiene?" Track, known as the 'science brain,' responded, "It must be the drainage system. It prevents water from stagnating and turning into stagnant water." However, when Huang Zongcheng retorted with a joke, "Stagnant water? You?" Track countered with, "Like a stagnant water figure in the MC world, becoming stagnant water itself," creating a lively atmosphere. At this moment, Jeon Hyun-woo seemed to have an epiphany, making a gesture, and said, "Cheonggyecheon?" This turned out to be the correct answer, eliciting surprise.

Choi Tae-sung praised Jeon Hyun-woo, saying, "Why are you so good? You're going to make it today!" A third quiz question was then presented: "Sejong placed this for the first time on bustling streets that could only be seen at court. What is it?" Lee Sang-yeop shouted, "Clock!" and Ha Seok-jin said, "It looks like a sundial." Choi Tae-sung once again marveled at their collective intelligence. He mentioned one of King Seongjong's achievements, the "Gyeongguk Daejeon," and asked another question: "Every summer, they only gave this to the royal family and high-ranking officials, but they also distributed it to patients and prisoners. What is it?" Gwado suggested, "Cool hemp clothes that ordinary people couldn't get?" However, Jeon Hyun-woo retorted with a laugh, "Prisoners would wear hemp clothes? They'd just take them off if it's hot." At this moment, Lee Sang-yeop exclaimed with bright eyes, "Ice!" which turned out to be the correct answer.

In the midst of the 'literature line' making a notable impact, Choi Tae-sung brought up the cruelty of King Yeonsan, the worst tyrant of Joseon, and asked this quiz: "King Yeonsan tore apart the corpses of his stepmothers, Lady Eom and Lady Jeong, and used them to make this before discarding it. What is it?" Jeon Hyun-woo shook his head saying, "I know the answer but I don't want to say it," while Lee Sang-yeop and Hwang Jeseong shared the answer as well. Ha Seok-jin then asked, "Could it have been food for animals?" However, Jeon Hyun-woo replied, "What we're thinking of is even more cruel. Because he hated them so much, it was made into salted fish..." This turned out to be the correct answer, shocking everyone. Furthermore, Choi Tae-sung posed another question: "Just before his death, the traitor Im Soong-jae left these words to King Yeonsan: 'Though I have no regrets in dying, there is one thing I could not offer.' What do you think it is?" Yoon So-hee activated her intuition and said, "A woman?" To which Lee Sang-yeop exclaimed with a quirky charm, "A peerless beauty." However, the actual answer was 'beauty,' causing goosebumps once again.

After that, the story continued with 'The Imjin War.' Choi Taesung mentioned, "The Japanese army invaded, and the volunteer soldiers rose up. Among them, there was a brave volunteer general." At this point, Lee Sangyeop and Jeon Hyunwoo simultaneously shouted, "General Hongui, Kwak Jae Woo!" Then, Choi Taesung posed a question: "What did General Kwak Jae Woo hide in a box to attack the Japanese army?" Goedeul, as expected of the 'science brain,' guessed, "It must be explosives, right?" However, Jeon Hyunwoo showcased a situation drama by saying, "Isn't it food? Onigiri~" This made everyone burst into laughter. Just as they were lamenting, "We missed our last question," Yoon Sohee shouted, "It must be something that moves on its own," answering 'a bee.' This turned out to be the correct answer. Finally, having answered all questions correctly and earning the knowledge medal, the 'Brains' hugged each other in happiness.
