Korean personalities Oh Sang-jin and Kang Yong-suk revealed their IQs on tvN educational talk show “Desire for Grade,” which debuted Thursday.

Oh, 35 and Kang, 46, said their school records showed IQs of 148 and 152, respectively.

Oh said: “Math was my favorite subject and my counselor recommended that I try Seoul University with sociology as a major. But I chose Yonsei University with economics as the major because economics uses math most among humanities courses.”

Kang aroused laughter while reading a teacher’s comment that said “I wish Kang was not so egotistical.”

The program features guests who show how to prepare college applications.
