Hyeonyoung Explores Daechi-dong, Korea's Education Hub, on MBC's 'Homes'

  • In a broadcast of MBC's 'Homes', anchored by anchorpersons Jeong Dahy, Kim Munseob, So Inji, Kim Wancheol, and Heo Juyun, radio broadcaster Hyeonyoung and broadcasting-acting professional Heo Seongbeom will go for location shooting at Daechi-dong.

    This episode will be filmed in the representative educational district of South Korea, the Daechi-dong academy district, mainly for work. The Bok team will have broadcaster Hyeonyoung, the 'super mom' of the entertainment world, as its representative, and the Deok team will have broadcaster Heo Seongbeom, the 'gifted student' from a top school, and Yang Sechan as representatives.

    Park Narae commented, "There exists a saying that 'real estate = educational district.' It reflects how much the educational district affects real estate", She added, "Among Seoul's representative educational districts, Daechi-dong has the most institutes concentrated. The land used by the educational industry occupies approximately 61% of the total land excluding apartments, roads, and hills".

    Kim Sook described why the show had been produced, saying, "In Daechi-dong, there are many jobs, not only students but also those who are working for themselves and teachers. We will look into the different working opportunities in South Korea's academic center, Daechi-dong".

    Prior to the principal location filming, Hyeonyoung, who was present in the studio, revealed the key to being called the 'super mom' of Songdo, saying, "I have two children, one who is 13 years old and the other is 8 years old. I always work hard at things, so I raise my children in a customized way." When the staff sang Hyeonyoung's hit song 'Nunna's Dream”, she replied, "That's true. I want to be a nuna for life" laughing.

    Joo Woojae introduced Heo Seongbeom as, "an elite from a talented school and KAIST. He is South Korea's representative talented student." When the team asked him about his college entrance exam scores, Heo Seongbeom replied, "I didn't take the college entrance exam to enter university. My IQ is measured at 151, which was the maximum at the time", leaving everyone stunned.

    In responding to a query of when he began to develop an interest to study, he admitted, "From the first grade, I disliked making mistakes on study materials. I couldn't accept that I didn't know something", astonishing all.

    Heo Seongbeom also commented on Jang Dongmin, who was his co-entrant in the brain survival show that "I've met many geniuses in my life, but he's a different kind of great genius. He forms a flawless strategy in one description of the game rules", evidencing his admiration.

    For Daechi-dong work exploration, Hyeonyoung, who was walking outside the main street of Daechi-dong, stated, "As a two-child mother, I have also passed through this place in Daechi-dong. Today, I will work hard by exploring based on my actual experiences." Heo Seongbeom also said, "Though I am not from Daechi-dong, I am from Suseong-gu in Daegu, where private education is active. I will work hard during the exploration".
