TV Chosun ‘Dad and Me Season 3’
On TV Chosun ‘Dad and Me Season 3’, ‘dad representative’ Kim Jung-tae is swept up in complex emotions as he confronts the test results of his ‘genius boy’ and son ‘Yakkung’, results that even the gifted mentor said were “the first time I have seen such results,” in surprise.
On the broadcast airing on the 8th, TV Chosun ‘Dad and Me Season 3’ shows Kim Jung-tae and his wife visiting a hospital for an evaluation of their eldest son, Kim Ji-hu, the ‘genius Yakkung’, who is suspected of ‘Asperger syndrome’. While Ji-hu has shown genius in physics, coding, and animation production, his parents have been worried that his social skills are somewhat lacking. However, Ji-hu dreams of studying in the United States and was even preparing to live independently in a high-school dormitory. Kim Jung-tae’s wife explained the reason for going to the hospital, saying, “I want to ask an expert whether Ji-hu can manage well on his own.” In response, Ji-hu expressed fear ahead of the evaluation, saying, “I feel like my heart will be damaged. I am scared.”
Amid their worries, the Kim family met psychiatrist Noh Kyu-sik, the official mentor of ‘Genius Discovery Team’. While Ji-hu underwent a comprehensive psychological assessment, the rest of the family also filled out a questionnaire of about 500 items. The studio was startled to learn that the father, mother, and younger sibling all answered 500 items. Jun Hyun-moo said, “I also took a similar test during counseling and it took about two hours. Similar questions keep coming up to the point that your head hurts. Even if you lie, you cannot help but get caught,” emphasizing that it is a process to increase accuracy.
Though they had appeared composed, Kim Jung-tae and his wife grew anxious as the assessment for Ji-hu dragged on and could not hide their tension. After the long hours of testing ended, ‘the top gifted mentor in Korea’ Noh Kyu-sik said, “Across several tests, a few points stand out. I have data on about 7,000 to 8,000 people, but I have never seen results like this. I was startled.” Jun Hyun-moo, wondering about Ji-hu’s results that shocked even the expert, said, “Is this not someone who has seen tens of thousands of gifted individuals?” In particular, although Ji-hu had been called a ‘language genius’ and spoke ‘six languages’, the disclosure of unexpected, shocking language-intelligence findings filled not only Kim Jung-tae and his wife but also the studio with confusion and concern.
The test results and exact condition of Kim Jung-tae's son, the ‘genius Yakkung’ Kim Ji-hu, who had been suspected of ‘Asperger syndrome’, can be confirmed on ‘Dad and Me’, airing on TV Chosun at 10 p.m. on Wednesday the 8th.
