[@Moowoo_]

No wonder he's always wanting to play with older boys, his intelligence is beyond his age group

[@adachi4043]

6k likes and no reply🐰

[@kimbob5328]

Look at sungjae a 27 months old kid can tell what reptile is meanwhile kim hanbin a 22 years old grown ass man said a tiger is a reptile.

[@lailalisa945]

kim bob ...hahaha...i remember that's...whale is fish ...that's hanbin said ....

[@creannabreey6999]

HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[@jacksonwangslipseyessmilet120]

lmao HAHAHAHHA poor hanbin

[@thethirstyjungkookstan6218]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M ROLLIN'

[@aligrei9872]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!OMG😂😂😂

[@sun8843]

I think aside from his IQ level from his mom, the environment also affected his inteligence. Like everytime he's curious about something, i noticed that his father explains it in a very detailed fashion. I was sure he was super smart that episode when they visited a site with lots of trucks. He knew not only how they were called, he also know what they are for!!! Very impressive.

[@misshaller5100]

Elentári true. they don't baby talk Seungjae in a sense... they seemed to engage him in a conversation with complete sentences, engaging him in thinking for himself. so I think it has influenced Seungjae.

[@FeeOJLee]

You're so right. Like from the beginning I've kept saying that JiYong Appa talks like he and his son are the same age. That's not totally a bad thing but since he does that it means that SeungJae also talks like he's an older man lol. He talks more cognitively

[@h.i.m.3200]

Yeah, I also think the way his parents talk to him is important. Where is he learning all these words and sentences? His parents. I always found my younger cousin fascinating since he spoke like an adult from a very young age, and that was because his parents talked him without using "baby talk". He could express himself well and hold a conversation (albeit a childish one because he was a kid, after all).

[@KaylahH]

Elentári that's exactly what my parents did, which is why I think I do so well in school tbh

[@danesvillapa]

when I was a kid I'd get scolded at for being too urious and asking too much questions 😂😂😂

[@shannonyiu4565]

My linguistics teacher told me that the language acquisition of children is usually influenced by their mother, now here is the real case!

[@isrinmaghfiroh6331]

Rachel Yiu agree, my teacher said that too

[@sleon2528]

Rachel Yiu definitely. It's the mother who is always the influential parent when it comes to language acquisition of children.

[@nolzanolza9501]

i thought that 70% of a childs intelligence is frm his or her mother.. is it just only language acquisition? i really need to study more.

[@sukik.6791]

_chaeyoung I don’t recall seeing his mother with him often. He was with his dad always. I’m not certain why she was not shown with him, but it was rare when I saw her. He’s intelligent like both his parents.

[@crystalang]

suki k. This show is about dad taking care of his kids while the mother take break, so seungjae and his mother interaction seldom shown. You can see their interaction in first episode though "introducing the lovely seungjae" His mother read tons of books for seungjae

[@tarepandaval483]

This is why parents should never baby talk to a child. A child absorbs information like a sponge never underestimate your child's ability. Anyways, the way he said koala is so cuteee

[@erikanav2577]

tarepandaval there’s nothing wrong with baby talking to a child. however, making nonsense words or phrases isn’t good. But talking in like a sing-song voice or such isn’t bad at all, since it actually boosts a child’s language development.

[@pearlynwong5678]

tarepandaval h

[@ragamuffin1588]

There is quite a lot wrong with baby talking a child. Research it if you're interested.

[@imagiccion]

@@erikanav2577 I agree. A Sing-song voice is fine, but I hate it when adults will just say nonsense. How are they supposed to understand language properly when you give them nonsense as an example.... Of course then a child won't be learning as quickly...

[@dochka]

speak using full sentences but i've heard the higher pitched voice when talking to a baby helps develop their hearing and language skills, the tone of voice is important for development

[@DiegoDeManila]

I think we've all known from the start that Seungjae's one smart cookie. Now we know exactly HOW smart he is. (^_^)

[@asyrafzulkifli3633]

exactly...he is a gifted chid

[@Keirosqeen]

Diego de Manila yup he will definetely become a CEO

[@kikialeaki1850]

Diego de Manila reminded me so much of Soeul. And I find myself watching Seungjae as a way to cope for the loss of SoDa.

[@hashibirainosuke6531]

Diego de Manila why did jiyong dont want to be close to his son?

[@nolzanolza9501]

bcoz he isnt close with him.. he is always busy (he is a businessman.. i think he is the owner himself). sungjaes mother takes care of him everyday (she is a doctor but i think (im not sure) she quit working regularly and is only doing volunteer work in a hospital).

[@sallythai7968]

I couldn't help but laugh so much at Jiyong's response about the pig. Seungjae: It's a pig! Dad: What did you eat yesterday? Seungjae: Pork Dad: You ate it yesterday, right? Seungjae: ......... His poor innocence was shattered LOL

[@naritruwireve1381]

IkrXD poor seungjae

[@chickennuggetlover306]

Me as a parent👍🏼

[@Sam-my2xk]

kun.bunny lol 😂

[@ongseongwuwannaone6426]

No wonder he ever said that he didn't want to eat meat😂

[@Sophia-hp8hv]

I think the dad's reaction to his child's intelligence level is interesting. Like usually, parent's would go insane to have a smart child in terms of sungjae's iq (which is understandable; as sungjae's kind of intelligence is easily reflected in documentable academic performance), but the dad knew that that's not all there is to development. He was actually worried, and that was something I appreciate. Usually parents focus on one kind of intelligence and let go of the others, but for this case, you come to understand why the child's smart in different ways--because he has parents that support an expansive meaning of child development :-)

[@k-popislifesmgroupsarelife9095]

You're right. I was about to say this. Jiyoung didn't look well when he learned that Seungjae was ahead of the children that have same age as him.

[@ivymaei2979]

I'm thinking maybe because he experienced the same thing?he looks intelligent..

[@ollieofftheboat]

@@ivymaei2979 Oh, both he and his wife were definitely the gifted kids when they were growing up, and for Jiyong that might be reflected in his awkward temperament. He's a nice, personable guy, but when you don't really interact with kids your ages because you're just on completely different levels it sticks with you all the way to adulthood.

[@thepurpleturnip534]

His dad and even we can see that throughout the series, older kids always avoid playing with him because he is too young, but kids his age can’t* quite communicate with him, jiyong probably wanted seungjae to experience childhood like most children, instead of skipping grades and being excluded because of his age

[@visual_honey]

@@ollieofftheboat wow that’s probably what happened to me too 😂 when u grow up too fast it’s difficult to connect with people same age as you

[@haenateuk1006]

Seungjae is really considered a genius for his age group..i can understand jiyong's concerns though..i just hope that when he's old enough for school, kids his age won't be intimidated by him so that he'd make lots of friends and that his teachers won't put high expectations on him cuz it would burden him as a child

[@GirlDreamer90210]

SJ17dork because, gifted means a bit different and difference can lead to isolation, especially at the age of elementary school

[@hyperactivegenie]

If Seungjae has younger siblings or cousins when he starts school, it would be helpful to him in the social arena because he could treat his peers like young children who need his help and have experience breaking things down into steps like his dad did for him. In early elementary, other kids don't instinctively isolate gifted children; sometimes, gifted children isolate themselves because they see their peers as being different. This is part of why the parents' influence and encouragement are crucial in their social development.

[@lue-rjeatumpalan1363]

SJ17dork my concern too at present Sungjae is surrounded more with adults rather than children of the same age (brought to the office meeting, visit mom doing volunteer work) I hope there will be episodes Jiyoung visit other Superman fathers and Sungjae can play with them😊

[@oppatrashw7458]

Me tooooo.

[@heleneom655]

oppatrash w .ㅡ

[@kyms5261]

I'm not surprised that seungjae is intellegent bec his mum is in the medical field but the fact that he is in 0.1% of his age group shocked me tbh they really raised him well pretty sure seungjae will be successful in the future

[@kidneyfunctionisnotarighti1524]

レモン they revealed in the first rip that his mom was also like him as a toddler

[@ellesharon]

レモン i think his father also smart since he has his own company and the way he explain everything to seungjae, plus his trick to pursuade seungjae by giving him reasonable explanation is one of the contribution to seungjae's development

[@tracyaung2529]

レモン exactly rt. the kid's really smart

[@sleon2528]

elle sha lmao the father can be smart however when it comes to linguistics and communication and language, the mother is the one who teaches the child how to speak. This is a fact. The father is smart, yes but children learn more from their mothers than their fathers.

[@sleon2528]

elle sha this is because the language part is always influenced by the mother.

[@nurulhusna251]

the part where he said " Two men are fighting" that realllyyyy is a complicated sentence for a child that young. Even when i saw the picture all that pops out in my mind is "Fighting". He really is a geniuss! Grow up well sungjae yaa :*

[@sweetcorn3188]

Seungjae is really genius. His mother is Ph doctor. And Ko Jiyoung promoted as a celebrity but still got high exam scores. His university entrance exam scores were 360 out of 400 with idol schedule. And Ko jiyoung family is well off. Idol career is just hobby for him. Such a elite family ...

[@myhiddenlife1892]

Sweet Corn I just know that, thank you

[@nillaputri5853]

oh that's explained why jiyong have a house instead of apartment. because in korea, a whole house in a good neighboorhood especially in seoul is much much more expensive than a luxurious unit of apartment

[@halrenshop6500]

Sweet Corn and sungjae's appa is CEO

[@SeLviCretz]

i notice that house and their car is quiet expensive too when i first watch this, and as i know korean rarely use maid, thats why eventho he rich, he still wash the clothes, do the dish, etc.

[@SeLviCretz]

i notice that house and their car is quiet expensive too when i first watch this, and as i know korean rarely use maid, thats why eventho he rich, he still wash the clothes, do the dish, etc.

[@rashaalpha5173]

seungjae's parents really blessed intelligent child like him

[@ellesharon]

Rasha Alpha his parents is the biggest reason for his development. They never do baby talk with him since early age, they talk to seungjae like a grown up person even teach him good manner. Her mother mostly teach him almost everything and his father always answer his question with detail explaination. he also has big curiosity, loves to learn new things, and listen every information very well.

[@sakurafanityOTHREE]

it good that apa wants sungjae to take his time growing up and that's something you don't usually see in asian parents, they always want their children to be on top

[@konnichiwa8762]

ikr. eventhough he has high intelligent but he is still a child. there's no need to push him above the other

[@RangKlos]

Well it can be both good and bad. Gifted children are not meant to grow up slowly. They have their own pace that needs to be taken into account too.

[@user-hd9dw9or7x]

sakurafanityOTHREE Wanting children to do well is different from wanting children to socialize and develop well among their peers... No need to be stereotypical here haha

[@LaurenOpara101]

sakurafanityOTHREE But that's usually for a better life. This kid is set, so his parents aren't going to be as strict.

[@sophiam.krager3815]

It probably bc he was an idol before

[@xxwhiskkiiesxx]

so smart. really a gifted child 😍 hope that when he grows up, he will become a successful man.

[@nurainiinsyirah8683]

xxwhiskkiiesxx yes....maybe he can be a professor just like his mom or more than that....

[@tqah92]

Nancie Anne his mom a doctor too ^^

[@elmosanica]

and dont forget he inherits Go Jiyong's heavenly looks too...

[@nurainiinsyirah8683]

Elsa no wonder he really smart and intelligence....He's a very special gift....

[@MugiwaraCarat]

I remember seeing him for the first time and thinking that he speaks better than Daebak

[@a.jameel9972]

Mugiwara98 Daebak physical ability is really great he can sometimes beat his older sister, on the other hand sungjae mental ability is great too. What Im saying is that they both have great talent but in different areas

[@cutesywesty7227]

A.J. Annie i love both of them and it looks like they inherited the good genes from their parents. Seungjae is smart & Daebak is athletic. Cute kids 😊

[@dendriticdent9980]

wow..i just realised that he is at d same age w Daebak...

[@ForeverCellist]

I'm honestly not surprised, speaking from experience as the oldest child in my family with two younger siblings, often the youngest in the family develops language more slowly than older siblings/an only child. This is because often, the older siblings will "speak" for the youngest (like all the times Seola "translates" for Daebak) and so the youngest just doesn't have a reason to try speaking as quickly. In my family, my language skills were very advanced for my age like Seungjae, while my younger sister was a lot more like Daebak because my brother and I would figure out what she wanted and "speak" for her instead of waiting for her to, haha. It's actually impressive how well Daebakie's language is developing! But you're totally right, Seungjae's language skills are definitely more developed than Daebak's.

[@humdii5236]

ForeverCellist oh wow. This is so true. I'm seeing this happening with my neices. The eldest spoke extremely well when she was young (too well if you ask me) and now, her little sister doesn't speak as well as she did. And I experienced this myself too. I was the youngest and my mum said that I didnt used to speak much however my siblings spoke a lot. And I've also noticed how my nephew (only child in his family) is like Seungjae. He speaks really well for his age and does look a lot up to his elder peers rather than younger.

[@lolitarachmadian2850]

I always want to have a smart kid like seungjae but never really consider the cons of their intelligence.. This vid really opened my eyes that no matter how smart our kid, we should never treat him beyond his age, or worse, like an adult. Children should be raised as children is one thing that parents sometimes forgot.

[@jmp9386]

Lolita Rachmadian my mom's friends son is extremely intelligent for his age (Seungjae reminds me of him perfectly) and we have a huge age gap like 10 years so he loved hanging out with us, but it was actually hard being around him sometimes because he is so smart and doesn't socialize with kids his age really well. His parents are afraid of what Jiyong dad is afraid of as well...sometimes being really smart has social problems too! you never think about it but it can actually be a big obstacle.

[@elmosanica]

Lolita Rachmadian - And gotta appreciate Jiyong (and Seungjae's mom) that they don't force Seungjae's intellegence over his society skills - in which lots of Asian families taught the wrong way 😟😟😟

[@peak__a__chu__]

Lolita Rachmadian this reminds me so much of the movie "Gifted"..

[@taocchi27]

Yeah, as someone who's considered to be smart, it's not easy. In elementary I struggled to make friends because most people just saw me as someone they could copy off and I never understood them and their struggles. Eventually I got into a program for kids like me, but yeah, being "smart" isn't as simple as most people seem to think it is.

[@naritruwireve1381]

That last part reminds me of school...treated like kids, but expected to work like an adult

[@ticktick916]

that 'kowalaa....~~' 😆😆😆😆 OMG so cute!!! 😍😍

[@hinata-kun3640]

The moment he goes to the psychological centre is the one that I've been waiting!! 😆

[@andoniainaramarokoto7300]

I want to send you a lot of love Seungjae! I hope you're a happy kid and don't feel too much pressure in your studies.

[@myngo5540]

2020. Anyone rewatch this episode because of missing Seungjae after watching Haoh these days? Also 27 months! Genious!

[@unicornoverlord769]

My Ngô me

[@ShinTyaPark]

Yeah both of them are genius.. I love watching them.. sometimes Haoh reminds me of Seungjae ^^

[@esachan_]

Me! I came back after watching Haoh. I miss Seungjae.

[@25beee]

Me, we can see that both Seungjae’s and Haoh’s family are one of the best example how parents play crucial role in their children intelligence and social skill, when your children more advance than the other children in their peers.

[@mau4938]

2022

[@riefaaozora]

I was also shocked at first how smart he is about language when watching the teaser of his appearance with Ko Ji Yong on Superman Returns. He could use formal and informal speech depending on to whom he talks. Children of his age usually have difficulties in forming a complete sentence or making category like that. Seung Jae is so smart. Kudos to his parents and people around him too P.s.: I think they should invite SECHSKIES members, especially Jae Jin oppa since he could imitate Pterosaur's voice. That Running Man episode when he was chasing the opponent team is so hilarious LOL

[@elmosanica]

Rere Fye - Agree. Seungjae also answer the simple pictorial questions with sentences. Like he can tell little things from many perspectives already. I also want Sechskies to come to visit! I want to see the (at least more childish than Jiyong) uncles play with him. They need to teach Jiyong how to act 'cause so far he's more robotic-acting than Jang Suwon himself😂😂😂

[@sleon2528]

Rere Fye actually kudos to his mom because the language acquisition of children is influenced by their mothers. This is a fact.

[@nolzanolza9501]

i liked that episode too. i even remembered jae jin even though i get to forget most of the guests in running man. he is so funny i even wished they would cast him as a member.. thats also the first time i get to hear about sechskies and i remembered it well bcoz of jae jin.

[@miyenan9676]

👍

[@Howaboutno1-_-1]

This boy ain’t even my son but I’m so proud

[@crystaaaal_hi]

Up to now i am still amazed on how sungjae's parents wont even be surprised whenever seungjae classifies animals and say anything that makes him genius. Like its a normal thing for a 2 year old to know reptile, mammal and amphibians HAHAHHAHAHAHA

[@Cymopoleia]

I think it's also because both of his parents have been deemed to be naturally intelligent and may have experienced similar things when they were younger. It was mentioned that Sungjae was so similar to his mom when she was younger. Jiyoung is a smart guy too, despite being in extremely busy in Sechskies he managed to get good grades in his entrance exams and even becomr a CEO of his own company. Seeing Jiyoung's reaction about Sungjae being worried about being too advanced, I have a feeling he had experienced these things when he was growing up, as well.

[@fy8331]

The result shows seungjae's language intelligence is equal to a 53 month old..

[@besho0o1998]

Soo Ri Cha you can't judge who is smarter throgh this result since they're not the same age. soeul is 0.1% for HER age, and same goes with sengjae, 0.1% for his age.

[@sooricha8626]

Bushra .S ok I'm sorry 😊

[@sooricha8626]

Bushra .S ok I'm sorry 😊

[@laurensiagian4238]

also daebak and seungjae just had 1 month different but their speaking ability is so fcking different, don't compare seungjae w/ soeul but you can compare seungjae to deabak because they only had 1 month gap.

[@sooricha8626]

Lowrenszya Siagian ok 😊

[@nisarashdan6693]

the way he said KOA-WALA , I dying cuteness overload 😂

[@user-mc5ch1rs4d]

He's not just smart for his age, he's gifted. That's something. And He does have friend his age now - Sian (if they're really friends, not just for TV)

[@lei3158]

I feel like a proud parent omg

[@cynthiaarons9373]

Dad is doing very very well interacting with his son. Professionals does not mean they know better just be observing in one session. Seungjae is a product of his parents good parenting, which is obviously working for him. Keep up the good work, Dad. Have confidence that you are doing a good job!!!

[@leandrocedrick5338]

its 2023 and I miss this gifted child. Luckily we have Eunwoo an adorable food fairy.

[@limjieai]

he will go far in life :)))

[@renderz8435]

Lim Jie Ai hoho you'll never know. Dont count your chickens b4 they're hatched. Who knows a car accident may happen and he dies? And smart people usually have social problems when they grow up, and because of that they dont go far in life. After all most CEOs and managers are people centred.

[@sirsnow371]

YT Stephistaecated wtf, why would you say “what if a car accident happens and he dies” thats a stupid things to say. Stop being jealous of someones intellect.

[@renderz8435]

Top Kosovo u see it the way u want to. I'm in Mensa and it seems to me more that you are jealous. What I was implying is that having high IQ does not equate to going far in life. Many other factors come to play too. I hate it when people say, 'why didn't u get top in math? but you're in Mensa!' hell no, it's because of people like these that makes us ashamed of who we actually are. High IQ does not mean you're gonna go far in life. People with average IQ can too. That's all I wanna say.

[@sirsnow371]

YT Stephistaecated yes but it means you are more likely to go further in life. Plus his dad owns this business so he could just pass it down to his son either way he is definitely going good places

[@renderz8435]

Ah i see why now. I didn't know his dad was that rich, yeah i would say he definetely has the advantage, but i just didn't want people to think that, oh he's smart so he better be going far in life, you know it puts pressures on him say when he starts school etc

[@butterfry90]

So basically we are watching the growth of a genius

[@seres2312]

I came here after seeing the latest season of this series, with Gary's son Ha O. Both of them started at the same age, and they are already so mind blowing. I doubt that it only has something to do with the genes, but also the parenting side too. The parents really did an amazing job, it goes to show how much it can affect a child's growth.

[@miamiamia5310]

Yes,, seungjae is my fav kid in TROSM and now i found Hao 😍😍

[@cocoacake8997]

Same, both of their parents have high patience.

[@ezlyelyana1117]

this little cutie never fail to impressed us every week! *hugs thank you KBS for bring *Ko Seung-jae* in #쇼들

[@librasun1478]

You can't fool this cute wizard on naming and categorizing. He could pass as a teacher in science in elementary level. Moreover, he's a linguist, too. The complexity of organizing and structuring with a precise choice of words in oral expression is no less than astounding. What keeps me perplexed is how he describes those visual representations in clauses.

[@nathaniasilva4870]

I adore sungjae's personality and kind heart the most ❤️

[@KathleneTan-ir3yv]

Not to mention how empathic he is. I love this kid. Brain and heart

[@sukik.6791]

He is a special little boy, so intelligent and always had great conversations with his dad. It’s been a while since I’ve watched their show. It’s no surprise he’s intelligent and his dad always worked with him and explained to him. He has intelligent parents and is a great little boy. I always marvel at how knowledgeable he is for his age. He is my favourite.

[@Lizzie-uj9ld]

He always have Q&A wherever he go with his dad..

[@user-le4rh7cb1u]

This kid is classified as "gifted child". Watching him after triplets and they're all making me so happy these days.

[@ayushiraichand7293]

He is a very intelligent child. he is alot more than his age pls be like this always love u 😍😍😍😍

[@truongkhanh2414]

I love it when the doctor said SeungJae’s speed is faster than his peers, and then JiYong said he hopes his son’s speed is the same as his peers and he wants SeungJae to make friends. That is precious, bc some of the parents if they heard that results they would be happy and even force their kids to speed up the speed without knowing how lonely their kids would be later on in their lives. SeungJae has such great parents 👍

[@1125oboe]

He's on the same level linguistically as those over twice his age :O I'm looking forward to see him develop his language skills even more in the near future ^^ His curiosity and intelligence level could help him even learn a second language :)

[@lue-rjeatumpalan1363]

Kpopaddict444 He already mentioned Kangaroo;Penguin and the ever cute Koala😄 in english

[@CassRudolph]

That's actually how you pronounce them in Korean too. Korean borrows quite a lot of vocabulary from English. It's really cool.

[@lue-rjeatumpalan1363]

Cassandra Rudolph wow thank you for the info... maybe it's not too late for me to learn korean too😃 if you watch the latest TROS they already have it online and subbed Jiyoung invited some of Sungjae's playmates to their house, you could see Sungjae struggling to socialize already with kids his age, when he doesn't want her new friend to go home he pulled her socks off and hid in his room; when it doesn't go in his way he went and played alone in his room. Even when he is explaining the different kinds of dinosaurs to his new friends and they don't understand him/ they are not interested he is having a slight of a hard time. Both Jiyoung and Sungjae were adjusting to the new situation.

[@v.i.p8768]

And now there is gary's son haoh as smart as seungjae cute friendly greets everyone ♥️♥️♥️ Plus came here becoz hoah make me miss seungjae

[@fashafana1959]

alyyshhhaa yeah same with me

[@anneyb.7307]

alyyshhhaa No one can replace Song Triplets in our heart. Seungie is the reason why I came back to watch TROS clips.

[@shqa574]

Same with me! I stopped watching TROS four months after the Song Triplets left the show. I accidentally saw the promo for Seungjae's introduction to TROS and started to watch the show. I fast-forward to his scenes in the episode, and look forward to seeing Ji Young and Seungjae every week.

[@Flowermoonlight]

wow..we're gang...I also didn't always look tros but after seungjae start joining this show..I starterf watching it every week

[@goldenmaknaefans7552]

Seungjae is a kid who has had very high IQ and also a very high EQ, because he cares a lot. ❤️ Also let’s appreciate the efforts Jiyong takes to connect with his son, he’s a good dad. :”)

[@kendallshelton836]

Whats good in sungjae's case is that he's intelligent for his age but also very friendly so I thought that he won't have problem making friends and wouldn't be isolated coz of his intelligence

[@twentysevenand]

I kindof hope they put Seungjae in an international school. Because he'll be smarter than his peers, he'd look for hyungs and nunas as friends, and in a Korean environment, I feel like that would be hard because of the age system. Also, we've seen how he can pick up English. I imagine Seungjae can be multilingual easily.

[@yourhope6525]

he is a fast learner and his dad is great in explaining things...

[@Chibikise12]

Honestly, I think his comprehensive skills does not come from his surrounding environment but his own IQ. His knowledge of things are affected by his parents, but surely not his vocabulary and comprehensive skills. Donggook does not baby talk daebak but he still doesn't talk as much as seungjae. Tablo baby talks Haru but she speaks very well and has great knowledge for someone her age. But I get why jiyong is worried about seungjae being too advanced. Believe me, I've seen some people who I grow up with that has exceptional IQ they are grew distant (either they become arrogant and looks down on their peers or becomes incredibly socially awkward bcs they don't know how to engage a conversation with people their age group) even though they were bright and friendly when we were little. Seungjae is already showing signs of it since he is often seen hanging out with hyungs instead of kids his own age since they still can't comprehend his way of thinking.

[@urik19]

what are comprehensive skills? and idk about vocabs, you learn what things are from people who interact closely with you (in most cases: parents), I am not discounting the possibility that Seungjae has high IQ. but at that age, you learn vocab from your closest social environment or the media (depending on whether you are allowed to engage with media).

[@nolzanolza9501]

i think so too.. i think his comprehensive and vocab skills are really innate in him since he is stuck up in his house all day with only his mom to talk to. and if you can see, he doesnt have that much toys unlike the twins and other kids.. his toys are mostly the same, dinosaurs and medical kit toys. toys were usually given to children in order to enhance their comprehensive skills.

[@renderz8435]

Eri Berry no matter how smart you are, its just the matter of time b4 people of your age grp catches up witj u

[@justanotherfangirl6360]

Well I grew up like Seungjae.. Little amount of toys, just my mum or grandma to talk to until my dad came home and pepole in my kindergarten thaught I was smarter than other kids...but now I can say I have an average IQ because the people at my age caught up with me latter one... I think Ji Yong shouldn't worry...

[@tpatnight]

I agree with you.My sister has a above average IQ than her peers.And to be honest it is more of a con than pro to be highly advanced in the mentioned areas.She is asking questions about normal things we have been following blindly like some rules or traditions.She is having problems adjusting to her peers thus not forming close relationships.She finds our existence futile and is finding hard to do simple things such as taking a bath.She is really flustered and cannot comprehend people who do not think like her.And she is in her last year of high school.

[@jhosusster]

I think seungjae is smart because how his dad interact with him. He tells him everything in reality. I love the tandem..

[@crystaljadedelossantos6288]

I got goosebumps knowing that he is a gifted child. Though I already expected it from the start when I saw him made a deal with his dad. Good job Seungjae-ya~~

[@TakahashiTakami]

Seungjae is amazing! The amount of vocabulary he knows and how he formulates sentences is awesome. I don’t think I even knew half of what he knows at that age. He’s going to be very successful when he grows up.

[@xeabae7737]

this is why i became a fan of sungjae its because he is so smart and cute 😆❤️

[@ermatina4442]

Its 2020 and still watching Seung jae the adorable kid..i really love reading comments in all his videos because comments are either funny,intelligent and good comments..its really fun to read.

[@lue-rjeatumpalan1363]

Sung Jae so cute and gifted child...😄😄😄

[@jeanr295]

Wow...a very intelligent young man.. Love u seungjae

[@raldshendacarreon5568]

Even though I am not the mother of Sungjae, I feel so proud!!! huhuhu my babyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@smssavagemaknaes9340]

Yes, intellegence comes from mother. But jiyong really play a good role here. He never babbling or like baby talk to seungjae, and always tell seungjae something in a good pronouncation that helps seungjae to absorb it better than father that baby talks to the baby. This really improves seungjae's skill even more tho.. impressive! And this is why we all have acceleration class in our education system. Because gifted children like seungjae can't communicate with his peers... sad, but true

[@Liza-og8ln]

The first time I watched him, I love him instantly because of his empathy and intelligence.

[@polarisnoona4468]

*It would be so interesting if HaO (Gary's son) to also undergo this process.*

[@edensizst6881]

Rewatching this because I miss this baby. 😘

[@cherryblossom4660]

I work at a daycare and Sungjae’s linguistic skills are truest remarkable.

[@maria_gold]

I knew it... first time i heard him speak I thought I never heard any kid of that age speak soo well!!! Cute and smart seung jae!

[@jtetsuya]

I can't wait for him to interact with Daebak and Daeul.

[@Mel-tv9yr]

johanus seungjae interact with twins would be really interesting tho 😄

[@jtetsuya]

mela zahra - haha his interactions with anyone are interesting, even animals and inanimate objects 😂

[@Mel-tv9yr]

johanus lol you right 😂

[@janewow77]

8 months later they are meeting well. Twins and Seungjae & Si An get along really well. I wish to see Daeul meet them too 😢

[@kimyn2006]

He is so cutee!!! Im rewatching these episodes again cause i miss them so much

[@EXOforLife1485]

He is a gifted child indeed. He will become a successful man in the future. No doubts about that.

[@onlybreeze1319]

the "kowawala" make me fly 😍😍😁😊

[@kimoran3987]

This video is why I’m happy Sian and Seungjae are friends because although he’s more advanced than kids his age, they’re both the best of buddies 😫😍

[@snoopyslu]

I knew he was a smart kid! His parents must be proud. ☺ Heck, I'm proud. 😊

[@moushumirahman7410]

he is a genius but no need to worry dad because he is suppper polite and humble and sweet 💜💜💜♥️♥️🥰🥰

[@harshitatewari5644]

Honestly i love the way he is talking ♥️♥️♥️

[@lovekoseungjae2854]

I really love seungjae at this age his voice Soo cute..

[@aprilros6078]

his dad is so good in explaining things and his dad explains and teaches valuable lessons to Sungjae. im even impressed on how his dad teaches him.

[@krystelanngonzales6184]

Seungjae is such a perfect kid! Good manners, intelligence and sympathy! His parents should've made a book "PARENTING 101" 🙌

[@ezlyelyana1117]

this little cutie never fail to impressed us every week! *hugs* thank you KBS for bring Ko Seung-jae in #쇼들

[@elfarmyikonictaebinwife149]

I've been waiting for this seungjae is so cute and smart

[@lolll556]

It's not so long since he's turned 2. He's turning 3 this October. This kid is the real genius! I think the parents response to kids is also important. Seungjae is so lucky that he has a doctor mom.

[@veronicafayefullo2725]

many claps for this amazing, gifted and blessed boy seungjae👏👏

[@istangreekgod-likemenofexo6074]

I'm watching this again because I missed our baby Seungjae. He grow up so fast. 😭😭

[@jjasyahirah9751]

Come here because i miss sungjae and his family ❤😌🙃

[@radsical1392]

Sungjae is adorable and so smart. That is one charming and smart little boy who will charm everyone he meets both now and in the future. His language skills and stuff are pretty advanced for his age. His parents must talk a lot at home and teach him so much. It's nice to see parents who are teaching their son so well. I want to give that little boy a hug. They should start teaching him English too, he has a good ear for languages and it's easier to learn languages when you're young.

[@missyk2454]

As someone in early childcare I was blown away by Seungjae's verbal ability

[@explorewithgorge]

Genius! I've been learning a lot from this show about Seungjae and his family.

[@question8882]

8:13 the way seungjae say “a dragonfly” is kinda addictive to me xd

[@pochorelascaramelito]

This week I've been watching all the episodes of Seugjae with English subtitles, and I'm translating them to Spanish for my parents to understand. I wish the videos had Spanish subtitles, these kids are adorable.

[@theshern4613]

Me and my brother both take after our mother in almost everything. And mom told me that she never used to baby talk and that we both were able to speak clear sentences well, than other kids of our age. Apart from Seungjae's Mom, Jiyong also explains things as it is, no wonder he is a smart boy.

[@kmtwinsisters]

YEARS HAVE PASSED BUT THIS VIDEO STILL IS THE BEST FOR ME ♥ I REALLY LOVE SUNGJAE ♥

[@biancarosegoyenechea3398]

seungjae here is the same age as daehan, minguk, and manse on their first episode. his comm skills are truly, truly impressive!

[@brecharciencia4737]

ko...kokoala👍😄😄😄why youre so adorable our beloved seungjae..cant stop watching all your video

[@reizal]

Seungjae is such a bright kid. Smart, (with language and really just the general understanding of things. I.e. when he went to go get a snack in one episode by himself, he knew where the store was. He brought a bag, money, even if it was play money he still knew to do so, and to dress himself. ) friendly and loves to make friends, (I hope children wont use his empathy as a weakness though.) and he is generous and crys when other people cry.

[@ramdasv3]

Whenever I see his cute face I feel like squishing him but I end up squishing my pillow!!

[@mariedennanay4689]

Such a smart kid.

[@RedVelBaek]

I miss you so much Seungjae ☹️🥰♥️

[@amialexie4835]

I feel like Seungjae is my offspring. I am so proud of him 💛💛💛💛

[@soledadsalting9986]

Super smart & intelligent Seungjay 😍 luv💖💖💖 Uuuuu more Seungjay 😘😘😘
