Melancholia (멜랑꼴리아)

All characters, groups, and events are fictional.

These stars were painted

by Vincent van Gogh in 1889.

Over 100 years have passed since then,

but they still inspire us to this day,

and they will continue to touch our hearts for many years to come.

His life may have been finite,

but he created this work of art that will last forever.

It's our job to give creativity and imagination

to artificial intelligence.

Just like Georg Cantor, a pioneer of mathematics who created

set theory using the concept of infinity

and solved countless conundrums,

we can have infinite dreams

and freely broaden our perspectives.

Infinity...

is not in the distant future.

It's...

within us right now.

Cantor Theorem

Thank you.

That was so touching.

I'm so proud of my son.

The speech didn't have to be touching though.

And yet it's just so different from other kids' speeches.

That was Baek Seung-yoo's speech,

the last speech of Youth Mathematics Speech Competition.

Soon, we'll announce the winner and award the winner.

Episode 5

Baek Seung-yoo? That was a nice speech.

You didn't expect him to be this good, did you?

No way.

He's one of my favorite students.

You mean you need him for Asung High.

I should get going now.

It's been a while.

Do you remember me? It's me, Noh Yeon-woo.

Oh.

How have you been?

The kid who just gave the speech, Baek Seung-yoo. Is he your student?

- Yes. - I liked his speech.

- Hello. - Hi, girls.

Let me doll you up for the photo shoot.

Not yet. They haven't announced the winner yet.

Come on. Of course you're the winner.

Seung-yoo's speech was just ludicrous.

It was so low.

You did a great job.

How do you feel? Do you feel all right?

Well...

Yes.

Ye-rin, you did a great job.

I didn't know you'd do the speech in English. You really surprised me.

It must've been hard.

We'll do the announcement. Please take your seats.

Asung High School's...

Sung Ye-rin!

2017 IMO Youth Speech Competition

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

There's one more awardee.

What? There are two winners?

No way. It's the Presidential Award. There can't be two winners.

As you all know,

we were supposed to have three winners in this competition,

but one more award has been created during the judging process.

Baek Seung-yoo from Asung High School?

Wasn't his speech more about humanities?

Steve Jobs. He once said,

"Technology alone is not enough."

"What makes our hearts beat"

"is technology combined with humanities."

I don't know about you, but when I heard Baek Seung-yoo's speech,

my heart was really pounding.

2017 IMO Youth Speech Competition

The new award is called Judges' Special Award.

And Baek Seung-yoo from Asung High School is the winner of this award.

Mom, hold on. Give me some free time.

- Free time? - Yes.

Where is he going?

Honey, let me look at it too.

It's hectic in here.

Congratulations, Ms. Ji.

Thanks.

What a great result. Both your students won.

Good job.

It took me by surprise. I didn't expect anything.

After wrapping things up here,

the minister and the vice-minister want to have dinner together. So how about it?

- Dinner? - Hold on.

Yes, Vice-minister.

Yes. I'll call you.

Yes.

- Ms. Ji. - Seung-yoo!

Do you mind?

Hi, I'm Sung Ye-rin, a junior attending Asung High School.

I'm overwhelmed to receive an award.

61 NA 4416

Earlier, I couldn't breathe.

But I was able to after I saw this sequence of numbers.

I was dizzy and my eyes were fuzzy.

But I could clearly see this symmetrical sequence.

My ears felt stuffy, and I barely heard anything.

But I heard your voice.

So I was able to prove it.

Seung-yoo.

Can you tell me why you couldn't breathe,

see, and hear things?

IMO 2017

Where on earth did he go?

Honey, try calling him.

Jin-ho

was my one and only friend.

The only one who held out his hand

in a foreign country was him.

8 years ago in MIT

A gift.

MIT

I'm Yoo Jin-ho, a Korean like you.

Intermediate Part 2, College Mathematics

You solved it like that?

As I thought,

you're special.

Help me out again next time.

I thought he meant it.

Like an idiot.

So, you can calculate the image of D two like this.

And therefore, you can get this.

So, you're saying that the cohomology class of the central extensions,

T sharp, is zero?

What about the edge map of the spectral sequence?

Edge map...

Let's see. Spectral sequence edge map is...

It never crossed my mind...

that my solution that day

would turn the thesis Jin-ho wrote for years into nothing.

No!

No!

Jin-ho!

No!

The number you have dialed is currently...

You're tired, aren't you, Ye-rin?

But it can't be helped. You can't miss out on your academy class.

I'm off.

You did great, you hear me?

I'll go pick you up.

Manager!

Anyway, you both did a marvelous job today.
