The Genius (더 지니어스)

Hello.

Welcome to The Genius.

All 13 players assembled here

are people who have already experienced The Genius.

Creative solutions,

the ability to read people

and the wisdom to win hearts

brought them exhilarating victories.

However, some amongst them...

Did you share with them?

Stop playing with me.

You're getting rid of me.

That's not it.

No one is playing for you.

I don't know whose side I'm on right now!

We should make them last.

That's bad.

Don't support me then.

Were unable to grasp their own strengths

and their opponents' weaknesses.

Misunderstandings over politics,

a restrictive innocence

and a fear of the eyes of others

all lead to their defeat in the end.

However, this story will be rewritten.

Because they have already learned The Genius' ways.

It was hard to forget.

I'll hurt others this time.

I have a chance for revenge.

I'll go even higher.

I'll do my best.

As a gamer.

I want to play properly.

Fitting of The Genius.

As a changed man.

I'll win in any way possible.

I'll make sure I don't lose this time either.

I'll bet everything against these people.

I'll try to get a perfect win.

There could be all sorts of variables.

Like Jinho betraying us.

Are you working with Jinho?

They will attempt to avoid repeating failures.

I'm getting really angry. Does that make sense?

I'm not the same man that I was.

Betrayal is my only option.

They will work to maintain their honor.

Let's be completely truthful with each other.

Like champions.

The journey and the result.

The group and the individual.

Beautiful defeats and ugly victories.

They will struggle between these principles.

Victory cannot be achieved in the same ways.

As such, their stories will not be repeated in the same way.

Do not repeat the tactics which gained you one victory,

ㅡ The Art of War

but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.

Open please.

Gaining victory with creative solutions!

Hong Jinho

Broadcaster+Former Progamer

Rules of the Game Winner

Open please.

It was always the last time for me!

Last week was the last time for me too!

Wow, it's been so long.

I feel really excited and happy.

I was also thankful and I just felt really good.

I get to stand on this stage again.

Jinho!

The legend behind 7 consecutive main match wins

The black magician who reads others' hearts

Lee Sangmin

Producer+Broadcaster

Rulebreaker Winner

Why are your hands behind your back?

Yes!

I'll cut this off!

Sangmin hyung!

Moved

Misty

We're finally standing on this stage together again.

I really didn't want to come here.

Why?

Whenever I do this,

it feels like I age a year every day.

Even if you age a year, don't you feel really alive?

Well, Jinho is the greatest beneficiary of The Genius.

Shy~

I see Jinho whenever I turn the TV on!

An extrasensory player that dominates the games

The Genius is like my mom.

Mom, I'm here! Mom!

Who's this?

Dongmin!

Don't show any tells. Don't do anything!

I'll attack Yeonseung.

Right dual swords?

The weights are different.

It's impossible.

The man that went against everyone's expectations

Ah! Oh no!

I'll use a Double Chance.

See!

Correct.

Thank you... Friend.

Jang Dongmin

Black Garnet Winner

Comedian

Who's this?

Dongmin!

Dongmin has returned!

Hello, hyung.

Season 3's winner!

The Genius' heroes have all gathered

Season 1's winner, 2's winner and 3's winner.

All the winners are here.

Wow, what great specs.

Don't you think the winners should form an alliance?

He's like this from the start!

Sly

Sly

Oh, you...

Why? It's needed on the first day.

It's important.

Am I just trash?

Gaze

Gaze

The set looks really stylish now.

It's dignified.

It's fitting for a grand final.

That thing is gone.

What?

The missing death match locker

The death match thing.

Oh, it's not there.

Look here. We didn't have it in season 1 or 2 either.

They added it in season 3 though.

Hey, did you watch season 3?

I watched it on TV.

Don't you have any self-respect?

The Genius' best season was season 2!

Hyung, it was season 1!

What are you saying?

Seasons 1 and 2 were just simulations, weren't they?

They were just playing.

Look here! Season 2 was a war!

Arguing about who's better...

Season 3 was all about harmony or something.

Whenever Dongmin frowned, they'd just back down!

The Genius' youngest participant ever

Genius solutions that surpass the champions

Oh, you.

Should I frown right now?

Oh, hello hyungs.

Oh!

He's here.

I'm the leader.

Did you bet 50?

I'm just going for it.

I can take anything.

Games are a gamble.

Oh Hyunmin

College Student

Black Garnet Runner-up

Hyung.

Skip~ Skip~ Skip~

Skip~ Skip~ Skip~

Skip~ Skip~ Skip~

Brother!

It's good to see you, hyung.

Yeah.

Hyunmin played the biggest role

in Dongmin hyung winning season 3.

I thought this guy would win it.

Wait a sec...

Huh...?

Hyunmin, come over here.

Dongmin, Sangmin and Hyunmin!

3 Mins!

Oh, that's true.

3 Min Alliance

What the hell are you?

Aha!

Jang, Lee, Oh and Hong!

What's that?

What? They're all different!

What's that...

Why are you using your common syllables?

He can make something out of anything.

What "min" characters are they?

Mine is the autumn sky "min".

What about hyung?

I'm agile "min".

Really?

I'm people "min".

They're all different!

Embarrassed
