Heo Seong-beom revealed the occupations of his sisters, who have unusually gifted brains.
On the 12th, MBC's Omniscient Interfering View aired an episode featuring KAIST AI researcher Heo Seong-beom, who opened up about his daily life.
That day, Heo Seong-beom, who graduated from Korea Science Academy of KAIST and KAIST's department of computer science and now researches artificial intelligence, appeared with an "AI manager" rather than a human manager, drawing attention.
He said, "I first encountered AI 7 to 8 years ago. There was the Go match between Lee Sedol and AlphaGo. I felt it was a promising field and became deeply absorbed in it."
In particular, Heo Seong-beom explained the admission process to the science high school, saying, "There are three stages of screening. The first stage is writing a personal statement, the second stage is math and science exams. Math is three and a half hours, science is two and a half hours, but there are only five questions. The third stage is a two-night, three-day residential interview."
He added, "They observe daily habits, hold group discussions, and each person has math and science interviews. Even within that, the top 1% emerged. IQ was tested in middle school and it came out as 151."
In response, Hong Hyun-hee asked about study methods, and Heo Seong-beom said, "What I remember is (my parents) would give me a week's worth of newspapers on weekends to cut out and read, and told me to ask about things I didn't know." He added, "When I read without knowing, my mother would answer if I asked. When my mother was busy and went out, my older sister would take care of it instead."
Then Yang Se-hyung asked, "Is your sister also good at studying?" and Heo Seong-beom revealed, "My older sister is a doctor, and my younger sister works at the National Tax Service."
Meanwhile, Heo Seong-beom became known after appearing on Coupang Play's Elite League, which aired in 2023. Since then, he has appeared on various programs such as The Influencer, Bloody Game, The Risk Takers 3, The Risk Takers: bet 10 million won, Hallucination: the layoff war, and Bloody Game X.
