As expected, the class of ‘Original Eomchina’ was different. As actor Lee Sang-yoon unveiled the Han River view house that his architect father personally decorated, the special study method that led him to Seoul National University’s Department of Physics, along with the major books that filled his study, are once again in the spotlight.
In MBC’s ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’, which aired on the 7th, Lee Sang-yoon’s smart yet humane daily life was depicted.
Lee Sang-yoon’s house, which was revealed for the first time on this day, boasted a wide view of the Han River and a neat and clean look. What particularly attracted attention was that Lee Sang-yoon’s father was personally in charge of the interior of this house. Lee Sang-yoon said, “My father is an architect. He wanted to do it, so I entrusted it to him.”
However, even the devoted son was honest in the face of ‘generation gap’. He made a funny confession, saying, “My father is a good architect, but due to his age, there is a slight difference in aesthetic sense.” In particular, ‘lighting’ was a problem. Lee Sang-yoon wanted ‘indirect lighting,’ which is a trend these days, but his father insisted on the practical method of not drilling into the ceiling, saying, “It’s not efficient.” In the end, Lee Sang-yoon’s expression of disappointment over the ‘typical interior’ that was completed according to his father’s wishes showed realistic father-son chemistry and brought laughter.
Lee Sang-yoon’s intellectual charm was evident throughout the house touched by his father. In particular, the study next to the closet was a space that proved the dignity of being a ‘Seoul National University graduate.’ The MCs were amazed by the piles of books on the desk, ranging from the ‘Seoul National University Alumni Newspaper’ to the faded ‘The Essentials of Mathematics’ and physics textbooks that give you a headache just by looking at them.
This scene naturally reminded me of his past CSAT scores and study secrets. Lee Sang-yoon was a 2000 student in the Department of Physics at Seoul National University, and at the time, he recorded a high score of 370 out of 400 on the College Scholastic Ability Test.
The key to his study secrets, which he revealed on broadcast in the past, were ‘thorough focus on school classes’ and ‘hip strength.’
Lee Sang-yoon emphasized, “I never slept during school classes. If I felt sleepy, I would sleep during recess, and I even took notes on the teacher’s jokes during class.” He also emphasized persistence, saying, “The most important thing is not to lift your butt off the chair.”
The strategies for each subject were also unique. He revealed that for English, he used his spare time to memorize words, and for math, he focused on understanding the principles of ‘why this formula was created’ rather than just memorizing formulas. The old math and physics books in the study seemed to reflect his efforts during his school days, when he valued principles rather than tips.
Lee Sang-yoon gave up the interior design to his father out of filial piety, but achieved the grades through his own efforts. His daily life, with his perfect visuals, intelligence, and humanity, is providing fresh stimulation to viewers.
