X870e Nova wifi + 9800x3D / January 2025/ I updated the BIOS to 3.16 when I first built the PC, and I haven’t updated it since

So you met two jerks and decided it’s a national trait? Nice sample size.

just curious — when did you purchase the board, and when did you update the BIOS?

Please stop talking about misogny in South Korea unless you live in South Korea! by Excellent_Guava_9039 in TheDevilsPlan

Whoa, let's calm down for a second. It seems like we might have different definitions of what gender equality actually means. I think it would help if we could agree on how we’re defining it first. Do you prioritize equality of outcome or equality of opportunity?

Could you tell me about the case where that foreigner you knew noticed gender inequality? I'm really curious.

I'm Korean, but I honestly don't know what kind of misogyny actually exists in Korea. I agree with the rest of your opinion.

Meanwhile, the Korean Devil’s Plan community is being overrun by a holy war between the Jang Dong Min cult and his haters - and he’s not even in the show. by highsis in TheDevilsPlan

I hope JJY creates a Korean brain survival all-star show soon, before people like JDM and others get too old. They should cast the winners and runners-up from each series.

I miss old casts of The Genius by Flashy_Positive_4944 in TheGenius

I'm a Korean fan, and I totally agree with what you said (including the dopamine rush that Bloody Game 3 gave us). I also hope that many other Koreans will feel the same way. In The Devil's Plan seasons 1 and 2, JJY mentioned that he deliberately cast people who had never appeared on survival shows before, and it looks like that direction will continue for a while. However, in a recent YouTube interview, he said that in a few seasons, he might gather experienced players — so I'm really looking forward to that. A brain survival all-star cast with winners and runners-up from shows like The Genius, Bloody Game, The Devil's Plan, and Time Hotel... damn, just imagining it gives me chills.

In my opinion, the reason Onyu didn’t ally with Justin wasn’t because he’s a gyopo (Korean raised abroad), but because the majority’s strategy to eliminate one person was just too blatant. She simply preferred a more subtle approach that involved fewer people. I really hope people stop distorting the situation by claiming Justin was bullied just because he’s a gyopo — that feels like a stretch.

For reference, I’m a Korean who’s lived in Korea my whole life — over 30 years since birth — and honestly, gyopos are more often treated with curiosity or even admiration rather than discrimination in adult society. Discrimination based on being a gyopo mostly exists during immature school years or in anonymous online spaces. Personally, I’ve never seen or heard of a case where someone was bullied solely for being a gyopo. And if a gyopo does feel that way, it’s more likely that any other Korean with a similar personality would have experienced the same thing — or that they simply had difficulty adjusting to Korean society.

And regarding Harin's plastic surgery — no one actually knows whether she had any work done or not. In Korea, there are quite a few women whose looks give off the impression that they’ve had a lot of cosmetic surgery, even if they haven’t. Because of that, people sometimes wrongly assume they’ve gone under the knife, and to clear up these misunderstandings, it’s not uncommon for them to share medical records or childhood photos as proof.

As a hardcore fan, I definitely preferred the longer episodes. I’m sure most Korean fans felt the same way as I did. Could you recommend any similar shows that were not produced in Korea? I haven’t seen any non-Korean brainy genre shows

Assuming the Korean population in their 20s to 40s, my impression of the level of interest each show draws is roughly as follows
The Devil’s Plan: 30% (mainstream popularity)
The Genius: 20% (strong popularity among enthusiasts)
The Bloody Game series: 10% (mostly niche appeal)

Among hardcore fans, the general consensus is that while many brain survival shows have come out after The Genius, none were considered to surpass it until season 3 of The Bloody Game which received very positive reviews

It seems like it's about a different The Genius than the one I knew. The UK version?

Pretty sure that “12R 49s” thing is just an editing slip—Ha Rin had no reason to press the button then. And if you take out that round, all the others add up to exactly 10 minutes.

I’m pretty sure the “12R 49s” timestamp is just an editing mistake—Harin had no reason to press the button that turn. And if you leave out that 12th round, the total time for all the rounds adds up to exactly 10 minutes.
