[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] KAIST AI researcher Heo Seong-beom gives a tour of his home.
In the episode of SBS’s “My Ugly Duckling” airing on the 5th, Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Jong-min will visit Heo Seong-beom, an AI researcher and Heo Kyung-hwan’s “brainy younger brother.”
During a recent taping, Heo Kyung-hwan introduced Heo Seong-beom as “the smartest younger brother in our ‘Heo clan of Gimhae’ family.” Heo Seong-beom revealed that he is currently “working as an AI researcher at KAIST Graduate School” and candidly shared the story of how he was admitted to the Korea Science Academy of Gifted Youth as the 8th-ranked student out of thousands of applicants. The Mobengers, watching this in the studio, couldn’t help but marvel, exclaiming in unison, “Is there really a genius like that?” and “How happy must his mother be to have a son like that?”
Heo Seong-beom’s home was filled with eye-catching, special gifts, drawing everyone’s attention. He revealed not only the AI chatbot “Chat GPT” and gifts sent by luxury brands but also a special gift he received personally from G-Dragon. Heo Seong-beom also candidly shared his experience using the gift from G-Dragon, sparking curiosity about what exactly it was.
Heo Seong-beom said, “I’ve prepared a big gift for Hyung Kyung-hwan. I’m waiting for you,” and led Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Jong-min to a mysterious location. The two couldn’t hide their excitement, asking, “Could this be a blind date?” Even Heo Kyung-hwan’s mother joined in the fun, exclaiming, “My heart’s racing, son!” as she became extremely nervous, drawing laughter from everyone. Upon arriving at the destination full of anticipation, an elegant woman appeared, sending the studio into a frenzy. Upon seeing her, Heo Kyung-hwan exclaimed, “Huh? Wait a minute,” instantly recognizing her, and reports indicate that everyone watching began to buzz with excitement as Heo Kyung-hwan’s mother also seemed to know her well, even correctly guessing the woman’s profession.
“My Son, My Love” is a program in which a mother serves as the narrator, observing her son’s daily life and documenting moments through a “parenting diary.” It airs this Sunday, the 5th, at 9 p.m.
