Coupang Play's entertainment show ‘University War’ Season 2, which has sparked a brainy survival craze and hinted at the birth of a popular seasonal format, has revealed the fourth eliminated university and the TOP 3 universities that are one step closer to victory.
Coupang Play's ‘University War’ is a 100% reality brain battle survival where the top 1% of true geniuses from South Korea's prestigious universities compete using only their intellect.
In the seventh episode released on the 20th, a death match was held between Seoul National University and Pohang University of Science and Technology after a close contest in the alliance match. Seoul National University showcased overwhelming brainpower centered around Kim Kyu-min, who has been performing impressively in every episode, defeating Pohang University and returning to the main hall, hinting at an even fiercer brain battle in the ‘Seoul-Yon-KAIST’ three-way showdown.
In the previous alliance match ‘Exit Strategy 2’, where the teams were divided into ‘Seoul National University-Pohang University’ and ‘Yonsei University-KAIST’, a fierce strategic battle unfolded between the two teams, leading to a deadlock for over an hour in the three rounds that followed a tie. Unlike the ‘Seoul-Pohang’ team, which relentlessly pressured their opponents with continuous attacks until the end, the ‘Yonsei-KAIST’ team, with their flexible strategy, ultimately seized the advantage and forced the ‘Seoul-Pohang’ team into a death match.
In the death match, Seoul National University overwhelmed Pohang University with the outstanding brain play of Kim Kyu-min, who had kept everyone on edge with his performance in every episode. He created a sensation by answering all questions correctly without a single mistake until the game turned, rescuing Seoul National University from elimination with an overwhelming score of 46 to 0. Participants watching Kim Kyu-min's astonishing brain parade could not hide their amazement, exclaiming, “He’s not a real person, he’s a monster,” and “Is this even possible?”
As the fourth eliminated university, Pohang University expressed, “We have matured through ‘University War’ Season 2. Now, I feel like we can accomplish anything without fear,” and left with a wish to witness Seoul National University’s victory, which defeated them with overwhelming skill.
With only one match left until the final championship, Seoul National University, which has come back fiercely after defeating Pohang University in a cold game, is now focused on the remaining TOP 3 universities, including Yonsei University, which proved to be a hidden powerhouse with calm strategies and excellent memorization, and KAIST, which has rapidly emerged as a championship contender after the first death match. The attention is on whether they can reclaim the throne once again following last season.
The final episode will be released on the 27th on Coupang Play.
