Change Your Life with the USB from the Future!

Episode 044: The White Intellect (1)

[···You must take an online trial first. We hire people like teachers, but externally, we have to make sure that the teachers participate in our program.]

[The difficulty level of the problem is level 1 to 5, so it is not that difficult. If you see it in moderation, we will let it pass. Then please.]

end the call

I am a broadcast writer who hired me through a letter.

No matter how you look at the tense voice, it seems that you have just started working.

I was disappointed that I wasn't the only person against 100 people, but it's a program I've liked for a long time.

I was willing to allow it because I thought it would be helpful to raise awareness by making my face known through broadcasting.

“·················ogue.”

Access the KSB website as instructed by the artist.

I said it wouldn't be too difficult, but it was just right to be embarrassed if I believed in that and proceeded with the test.

From the perspective of viewers who have been watching this program for a while. I knew that if I didn't check through USB in advance, there would be a lot of questions that were difficult to solve by myself within the time limit.

It seems like other people get help from acquaintances, but it's me, as a hobby, taking common sense quizzes and seeing white people's opinions frequently.

So there was no need to borrow someone else's hand.

Slowly log in to the homepage and search for white people in the search bar.

After applying for participation in the white cadastral window, fill out the application form.

And when I click on the next online trial application window.

[Do you want to start the online trial (35 questions)? Yes No]

A window will pop up asking you to make a final choice.

I clicked [Yes] without hesitation.

OK.

[Problem one. Jeong Yak-yong, a Confucian scholar in the Joseon Dynasty, suggested eight methods of chasing the heat, . Which of the following is not applicable to ?]

1. Drawing bamboo in the shade of a tree

2. Listen to the sound of cicadas in the forest

3. Play tuho at the riverside

If you did not practice solving common sense problems regularly, problems that are difficult to solve appeared one after another.

The time limit is 20 minutes.

One by one, I started to guess the answers.

* * *“Did you receive the prints that everyone gave out? Because the broadcast proceeds in the order written there. Before you enter the filming set, please read carefully.

One hour before white-pointed recording.

The artist is delivering necessary information to the people gathered in the waiting room.

“When you enter the set, there will be a remote control inside a wooden box. You can check the answer with it, but if you do not press the button within 30 seconds, an incorrect answer will be checked, so please press it within 30 seconds. And if you press a number other than 1 to 3, you will be eliminated immediately, so keep that in mind.”

While the artist, who has been speaking non-stop, takes a moment to catch his breath, one of the people looking down at the print asks the artist.

“How long does each question take?”

Then the author takes a short breath and answers.

“You can imagine that each question usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. In the middle, if you introduce yourself or your personal stories, it increases even more. So, you have to be good at distributing your stamina. If you focus too much on filming from the beginning, you will fall over later, so don’t overdo it.”

People who listened to the author nodded their heads.

Most of them were viewers at least once, so they seemed to understand to some extent only with the author's words and the print that was handed out.

But not everyone was like that.

Whether or not the author explains that his throat is bursting, a person who was only fiddling with his cell phone in the corner raises his hand as if to ask a question.

Then the author shakes his head as if to say something.

“How much is the winning prize?”

Perhaps it was an unexpected question, and the author's expression wrinkled slightly.

It was a question that would not be asked by anyone who had ever seen a program called “white intellectual”.

Anyway, I had a question, so I had to answer it. The artist opened his mouth with a troubled complexion.

“The prize money ... depends on how many stages the single performer drops and how many 100 performers fall before the single performer is eliminated. If a single performer drops in stage 8 or 9 and a lot of 100 performers drop before that, the prize money will be high.”

As a writer, it was as detailed as possible. But the person who asked the question seemed to be insufficient.

“At what level do single performers fall?”

Then this time, the people around him had a slightly wrinkled expression on their faces.

However, he asks for an answer while looking at the artist with an expression that does not care about the gaze of the people around him.

The artist sighs and begins to answer his questions.

“It’s usually between the 7th and 9th steps… but it’s different every time, so I can’t tell you when the decision will be made. Sometimes, the game is decided in the early stages because the difficulty of the problem is high, but other times, even after solving all the problems, a decision is not made and the game goes to overtime.”

As the writer speaks up to this point, the man who asked the question shakes his head with an expression that he understands now.

Then the artist looks around with a smile on his lips.

“Any more questions? If not, I'll tell you one last time. Do you have the number tag you wrote down in the lobby earlier? Because that's your set seat number. You must be aware of it. And if you lose your number, you won't be able to get a gift certificate when you leave. Never lose your number plate. Now, I'll be back before filming starts, so please rest in the waiting room until then."

So let the writer leave the waiting room leaving a message that he will come back.

The remaining 15 or so participants in the waiting room began to spend their time in their own way.

“·················ogue.”

It was quiet.

It would have been less quiet if there were people who participated in the group, but unfortunately, there seemed to be no such people in the waiting room where I entered.

However, after about thirty minutes, people slowly appeared talking to the person next to them.

“But did you hear that? Son Na-yoon is coming out today?”

When one of the people who was fiddling with the cell phone secretly spoke, everyone except me nodded as if they had squeezed it.

“Of course I knew. Is that why I applied for this program?”

One of the people who nodded speaks with a firm expression on their faces, and the first person to speak out asks a question.

“Is that so?”

"sure. If you were a member of Nayoon Son’s fan club, would you have applied for all of them?”

Then one of the people listening to their conversation sneaks into the conversation.

“No, do you really need to do that? After all, seeing from a distance is all it takes, right?”

Then, he shakes his head as if he doesn't know what the person who said that he participated in the white cadastre because of Na-yoon Son.

“That’s because Na-yoon Son made a promise on SNS.”

When the word 'commitment' comes out of his mouth, people's attention is drawn to his mouth.

“What promise?”

When the person next to him hires him, he hesitates a bit before opening his mouth.

“That’s…the winner Son Na-yoon hugs her…”

In an instant, people's mouths flutter open.

The person who spoke for the first time opens his mouth with a trembling expression.

“Ah… I have to risk my life to solve this problem. If not today, when will I hug Na-yoon Son?”

Then the other people nod their heads with the same expression on their faces.

And soon, the waiting room becomes noisy with stories about the program, the championship, and Son Na-yoon.

So how much time has passed

Click-

The waiting room door opens and the artist enters.

“Everyone in the cast, get ready and come out. Filming starts in 10 minutes.”

* * *

KSB Public Hall.

This is where KSB's public broadcasts such as a gag contest, Yoo Choong-yeol's sketch notes, and the last famous song are filmed.Following the artist's guidance, entering the public hall, a huge number of lights and empty audience seats.

I caught my eye of the set made of plywood and the filming staff busily moving between them.

“It’s still being prepared, so please sit in the audience for now.”

Following the author's words, people sit down one by one.

The size of the public hall was so huge that it did not fill even one-tenth of the audience seats, even though a not-so-small number of people were seated.

“Hey, it’s really wide.”

One of the people sitting around me looked around and said: Then a man who appears to be an acquaintance of that person nodded his head.

“Yeah, but the set really doesn’t matter. Is it really like that?”

“Look what it is. When I came in earlier, it seemed like the program I was filming every day was different, but each time I had to build a new one and demolish it again.”

“Still, when I saw it on TV, it looked like something, but when I saw it up close, it was really lame.”

Like their story, the appearance of the set was not good. Only the part projected by the camera was smudged, and the sawed part was clearly visible even if it was slightly deviated.

But then.

"Hello everyone."

Instead of the artist who disappeared somewhere after guiding the participants, a field staff came to the audience and started talking.

“Come on, everyone, please fill out the consent form before filming begins. If you don't write this, you won't get a prize even if you win. Even if it bothers you, you must write it.”

He approaches with a smile and gives people a consent form and a pen and says:

When some of the impatient people try to sign and hand over to him without even reading the contents, the staff opens their mouths with a smile.

“You don’t have to give it to me right now, I’ll give it to you after you win.”

Then the people who were in a hurry to sign and hand over the consent form with shameful expressions.

“Now, let me pass on a few more caveats and move on to the set. Can you see it over there?”

The steps point towards the set.

To be precise, the seat of 100 contenders.

It is a half-moon-shaped staircase with a total of 7 floors.

As people nod their heads, the staff put on a serious expression.

“You’ve probably seen it a lot on TV. But it's pretty high over there. So, if you have a phobia of heights, please tell me in advance. and···"

The staff made a very serious expression.

“...that set isn't that strong, so you shouldn't climb up and lean on your seat. If you do it wrong, it will break. People on the 1st floor do it, but people on the 7th floor are in trouble, so don’t touch the things around you as much as possible.”

Then people's faces darkened. In particular, the higher the number, the darker the face.

I double-checked the number I got earlier. 17 times. It was about halfway through the second row.

“Now, shall we move slowly? Do you all remember your number? Now when you go inside the set, your number will be written in your seat. You can go to the seat that suits your number. Then I wish you all the best.”
