Ha Suk-jin Grills Harvard's 'Real Estate PhD' Professor Kim Kyung-min on Property in 'Brain Academy' Finale

In the final episode of Channel A's knowledge quiz show 'Brain Academy', actor Ha Suk-jin will relentlessly pepper Professor Kim Kyung-min, known as Harvard's 'Real Estate PhD', with questions about the property market.

The broadcast on Thursday, the 11th at 9:40 PM, will feature the 'Brains' cast—Jeon Hyun-moo, Ha Suk-jin, Lee Sang-yeop, Yoon So-hee, Hwang Je-seong, and Gye-do—engaging with Professor Kim Kyung-min, the 'Urban Master'. Together, they will delve into a comprehensive quiz and discussion covering the A to Z of South Korea's real estate landscape.

As it's the last episode, the cast expressed strong determination to win medals. Professor Kim Kyung-min, who completed his PhD in Urban Planning and Real Estate at Harvard University, made a grand entrance as the 'Urban Master', receiving thunderous applause. The cast also praised his handsome appearance, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Professor Kim declared, "If you don't understand the paradigm of urban industry, you could face setbacks in real estate," announcing the theme: "Learn about cities, and you'll see the future of real estate."

Immediately after the theme was announced, Ha Suk-jin fired off a hot-button question: "What's happening with the Samsung-dong Seoul Medical Center site?" After Professor Kim responded, Ha Suk-jin pressed further, asking, "What would be good to build there?" Jeon Hyun-moo playfully chided, "Are you getting personal consultations now?" but Ha Suk-jin continued his barrage of questions, eliciting laughter.

Given that Ha Suk-jin recently made headlines for revealing his luxurious home, complete with a 'secret basement' reminiscent of the mansion in the movie 'Parasite', his intense Q&A session on real estate with Professor Kim is expected to draw significant viewer interest. The final episode of 'Brain Academy' airs on Thursday, the 11th at 9:40 PM.

Ha Suk-jin debuted in the drama 'Nonstop 5' in 2005 and is known not only for his acting but also for his 'smart brain' image due to his high IQ and engineering background. Recently, he has been active in various projects, including the tvN drama 'Crash Landing on You' and the movie 'Life is Beautiful'.
