The final episode of 'Brain Academy' will see 'Brains' members Jeon Hyun-moo, Ha Seok-jin, Lee Sang-yeop, Yoon So-hee, Hwang Je-seong, and Kwedo delving into the past and present of Gangnam, along with all things related to housing subscriptions, guided by urban master Professor Kim Kyung-min.

Airring today (11th) at 9:40 PM, the Channel A quiz show 'Brain Academy' will tackle the theme of 'cities.' During the quiz, a surprising story behind Gangnam's land prices will be revealed – how they surged from 200 won per pyeong to 400,000 won. The cast expressed astonishment, comparing it to Bitcoin's volatility, while Jeon Hyun-moo speculated that the regretful phrase 'I should have bought land in Gangnam' likely originated from this period, sparking curiosity.

Transitioning to the topic of 'housing subscriptions,' a question will be posed about the most exceptional condition for winning a subscription in the past. The members' wild and imaginative guesses led to widespread laughter in the studio. Ha Seok-jin, imagining living in Banpo after a successful subscription, even elicited chuckles with his 'contented' expression.

Professor Kim Kyung-min is renowned as one of South Korea's foremost urban planning experts, with extensive research in urban development and real estate. His analyses go beyond mere data, offering profound insights by encompassing the historical and cultural contexts of cities. In this broadcast, he will present the transformation of Gangnam in an accessible and engaging manner, drawing on his specialized knowledge.
