Episode 45: The White Intellect (2)

‘By the way, if Na-yoon Son gets all 10 steps right, it’s a hug, or what?’

‘Ah, no matter how many times I have to guess from idols.’

'That's right. I was just worried.’

I remembered the conversations people had in the audience before filming. If only I could go back to that time, I wanted to tell them.

that you are wrong

The quiz is already level 5.

However, Son Na-yoon was still in good health.

On the other hand, there were only 35 lights that were illuminated by 100 challengers.

Under the dimmed lights, the faces of the dropouts standing silently caught my eye.

Just an hour ago, those who confidently talked about winning under colorful lights had to be content with the occasional applause.

where they look.

Son Na-yoon, who participated as one person, and a tall-looking male MC were having a conversation.

MC asked Na-yoon Son.

“Son Na-yoon, you have been solving problems with your own hands. Do you have any secrets of your own?”

Then Nayun Son, who had a bright expression on his face, tilts his head.

"···Yes?"

Then, with a look of contemplation on something, he licks his mouth. Then the MC who asked the question added his words with a slightly bewildered expression.

“Oh, you don’t have to think too hard. I'm asking about how to take pictures and things like that."

Then she smiles and opens her mouth.

“Ah, there is no such thing! I just shoot what I feel.”

Hearing her answer, the MC asks her with her mischievous expression.

“Then why did you hesitate? Do you have any secrets, aren't you hiding them?"

She replies with her innocent face.

"no. In the middle, a word I don't know comes out... Governor of Paju? Are you like a civil servant in Paju?”

For a moment, a look of embarrassment appears on people's faces.

‘You mean you lost to someone like that?!’

The 100 contestants who have already been eliminated, as well as the audience, the filming staff, and even the MC who asked a question cannot hide their bewildered expression.

“···Yes, I think this kind of absurdity is the true charm of Na-yoon Son. Now, for the sake of time, let’s move on to the next issue.”

But a pro is a pro. First of all, the MC who succeeded in managing facial expressions skillfully organizes the situation.

“Five-level problem. There are currently 35 survivors. The current prize money is 13 million won. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next issue will be. Then on to the next question!”

The MC shouts loudly and stretches his arms towards the screen. Then a problem pops up on the screen that has nothing on it.

The voice actor slowly reads the problem that appeared on the screen.

[Step 5 problem. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the chest from the stomach, and is the part that plays a role in breathing exercises. In pork, the corresponding part is called , but what part of beef corresponds to this?]

The views are then given one at a time.

1. Swallow Mystery2. Insole

3. Eopjinsal

When all the questions and prophecies are out, the MC points to the 100 challengers first.

The surviving people are then caught on camera.

“Okay then, 100 contenders. No, 35 contenders. Then press the answer within 30 seconds!”

The moment the MC speaks. One by one, people start clicking on the answer.

In the places of those who pressed the answer, the electronic display turns off one by one, and the answer is selected until the last challenger.

After the 100 players have made their choice, it's the next player's turn.

The MC asks a question to Son Na-yoon, who is making a bright expression.

“Son Na-yoon, do you like meat?”

"Yes! I really like it.”

“Somehow, you have the brightest expression on anything I’ve seen today. So, can you solve this problem easily?”

“Um… I really like to eat. My name is fine...”

“But you’ve done well so far, so let’s look forward to it again.”

Son Na-yoon nodded at the MC's words and began to develop her own logic while looking at the problem.

“First of all, the diaphragm is very important to a singer, right? So I studied a lot, but I didn’t know that this part would turn out to be meat.”

Her reasoning started from the wrong place.

“By the way, did you know that it came out as seagull meat? I don't think the new name will be the same. So, it’s not a swallow deduction with swallows, right?”

For her absurd reason, except for her No. 1 Swallow Mystery, she is torn between Anchangsal and Upjinsal.

“I don’t know which part of the insole is... but I remember eating the upside down once before. It had just melted... because I remember it came out very little by little. If you look at the size, it seems like an ups and down...”

After thinking about it for a long time, she puts her hand on the 3rd button to see if her heart is leaning towards the meat she ate before.

Then people's eyes are drawn to her hands. The people who checked her answer her same as hers look at her with her tense eyes, and those who check her and her other answers look at her with her worried eyes.

But last minute. She opens her mouth as she makes her playful expression.

“…But what I thought was the right answer wasn’t necessarily the right answer. So I’ll give you the last twist and go twice!”

Then, with all your might, press the 2nd button. Then a loud sound effect is played, and people applaud.

While Son Na-yun was choosing her answer, the MC, who had been back for a while, came to her side and started the process.

“I really wonder what the answer is. I'll check the answer right away. The answer to step 5 is…”

MC points to the screen. And soon the correct answer is displayed on the screen.

“Two insoles!”

In an instant, the red light on the line chosen by Na-yoon Son turns on and the rest of the lines disappear.

Then a shout of surprise erupts between the audience and the challengers. They give her a round of applause for her, but she has a look on her face in disbelief.

But the one who surprised me the most was herself. She looks around her, with her eyes wide open and covering my mouth with her hand.

“Son Na-yoon, isn’t this enough to even try to win the championship?”

When the MC asks a question with her playful expression, Na-yun Son responds by waving her hand.

“Ah, no. It’s all about luck.”

But her luck did not end there.

[Step 7 problem. The last to be designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites]

1. Hunminjeongeum

2. Nanjung Diary

3. The Tripitaka Koreana and the Jaegyeongpan

When the problem comes up, Na-yoon Son falls into deep trouble.

“Actually, I don’t really know… Maybe it’s the last one, so it’s a Nanjung diary, isn’t it? Hey, it's a miracle that you've come this far! I will go twice!”

Her strange reasoning had not changed. However, the expressions on the faces of those who listened to her reasoning were as serious as ever.

The results so far were too impressive to pass over her vague reasoning as a joke.

Some people wentssip that this was definitely a fight with the writer.

As people's expressions became more serious, the MC's eyes lit up as well.

As he reached for the screen with a stiff face, the correct answer was displayed on the screen.

“Yes, this is the answer to the second Nanjung diary! There are currently 13 survivors. The prize money is 21.15 million won.”

In the end, even level 7 was conquered.

People's faces turned red with astonishment.

But no matter what people's expressions were, Son Na-yoon was happy with the fact that she had passed the 7th stage with a clear face.

The MC approached Na-yoon Son and talked to her.

“I think Son Na-yoon will become a white intellectual this time with this generation, what do you think of Na-yun?”

Then Na-yun Son covers her mouth with his hand and smiles.

“Am I white? ah please I've been lucky so far. There are a lot of other people left, but how can I…”

She blurs the tip of her words. She seems to think for a moment, then shakes her head.

"...Ah, I don't think it's possible."

But already, the MC didn't seem to want to throw away this interesting subject.

“Isn’t that a good fit for something like that? Isn't there something like a shinigami or something like that?"

As the MC trembled and said, Son Na-yoon's expression faded slightly.

"I'm afraid of that ghost..."

Son Na-yoon shrugs slightly, probably because she's really afraid of ghosts.

Then, the faces of the male performers spread like honey.

But he couldn't keep chatting forever.

As the PD points to the clock and signs him to go fast, the MC nods his head slightly and opens his mouth.

“Okay, then, let’s drive this momentum and start the eight-step problem. Will Son Na-yun be able to become white? won't it? Now, the next question comes up!”

[Step 8. As a Korean independence activist, he worked hard to nurture talents by establishing Samheung School (三興school校) and killed Lee Deungbakmun [伊藤博文], the culprit of the invasion in Harbin, Manchuria.

1. Ahn Eung-chil

2. Kim Jwa-jin

3. Kim Won-bong

In an instant, Na-yoon Son's expression hardened slightly. However, on the other hand, the faces of those who remain in the 100-seater are full of leeway.“Ah, this problem turned out to be an unexpectedly easy problem. Well, there's no such thing as a law that says only problems that are too difficult come up. Now, first of all, 13 contenders. Please press the answer within 30 seconds!”

As soon as the MC spoke, 13 survivors began to press the answer.

Perhaps because the problem was so easy that dissatisfaction appeared on the faces of those who had already been eliminated, everyone checked the answer before less than 10 seconds passed.

After confirming that the 13 survivors have checked all the answers, the MC approaches Son Na-yoon and speaks.

“How about this problem?”

Then Na-yoon Son shakes her head with a confident expression.

“I don’t know the last name…”

The MC makes a puzzled expression for a moment and then says.

“Oh, so do you know his real name?”

Na-yoon Son nods her head slightly, then smiles slightly and talks.

“I remembered him because he was in a drama that I really enjoyed.”

Then the MC responds with an expression of 'Ah!' as if he remembers it.

"Yes. There were dramas and movies about him.”

The MC, who shook his head for a moment, continued his words with a smirk.

“You might see Na-yoon Son become a white intellectual. Now, Na-yoon Son. Please click the correct answer!”

A loud sound effect echoes through the set, and people's eyes turn to Son Na-yun. However, the atmosphere is less tense than other problems.

In the applause of people, Na-yoon Son checks the answer.

However.

“Son Na-yoon . . . chose Kim Jwa-jin No. 2 .”

After confirming the answer Na-yoon Son chose, the MC opened her mouth with a complicated smile.

“Well, then, I will check the answer. The answer is No. 1 Ahn Eung-chil.”

When the answer was revealed, people's eyes turned to Son Na-yoon.

“··· Son Na-yoon. That's too bad. The high ground was almost right in front of us.”

MC spoke. Then Na-yoon Son answered.

“Isn’t that person Kim Do-gang? It was like that in the drama……”

In an instant, the people's mouths gasped open. Everyone on her set turned her eyes to her.

Soon, whispers were heard everywhere. I saw Son Na-yoon's manager approaching the PD with a bewildered expression.

I couldn't help but laugh.

No, what drama did you watch?

When I looked at Na-yun, the hand that was dyeing his face bright red, as if embarrassed, it seemed that a bitter taste appeared in his mouth.

When I saw the PD's gaze looking at Na-yoon Son with a look of delicious food.

I could see that Na-yoon Son's words would bring a bigger aftermath than she thought.

However.

‘It’s not something I can do just because I’m worried.’

Now there are only 10 people left, including me. Only one of them can win a prize of 23.65 million won.

Now is the start.
