Get ready for an exciting brain battle as Problematic Men Reboot: Math Edition premieres on tvN on June 23, 2025, at 10:10 PM KST. This unique storytelling quiz show takes a fresh approach to mathematics, analyzing the world through a mathematical lens while presenting fun and accessible ways to solve math problems. Aimed at boosting the nation’s “math confidence,” this show promises an entertaining yet intellectually stimulating experience for viewers.
Star-Studded Cast Tackles the Suneung Math Challenge
The show features a dynamic lineup of “problematic disciples” led by the charismatic MC Jeon Hyun-moo, a staple of the original Problematic Men series, alongside South Korea’s top math instructor, Jung Seung-je. Joining them are announcer Bae Sung-jae, SAT math perfect-scorer John Park, all-rounder K-pop idol Suho, and survival show champion Kim Kyu-min. Together, this diverse group will face off in an intense brain war, tackling math problems with wit, strategy, and humor.
Sneak Peek: High Stakes and Hilarious Moments
The third teaser video, recently released by the production team, offers a glimpse into the action-packed show. In the clip, Jeon Hyun-moo passionately declares, “This is the era of math!” as the cast dives into solving challenging problems in the studio. Suho, hailing from a family of mathematicians, and John Park, a math prodigy, tackle the questions with confidence. Meanwhile, Bae Sung-jae humorously sighs, “I can barely see the problem,” sparking laughter among viewers.
Adding to the excitement, math guru Jung Seung-je drops a bombshell, challenging the cast to take on the Suneung (South Korea’s college entrance exam) math section with a goal of achieving a Grade 2 score. The disciples’ shocked reactions have already piqued curiosity about how they’ll fare in this daunting task.
Bae Sung-jae’s Comedic Math Struggles
The teasers also highlight announcer Bae Sung-jae’s hilarious journey. Admitting he “gave up on math in 1995,” Bae attempts to rely on his “40s intuition” to tackle problems. However, he quickly hits a wall, jokingly confessing, “My skills might not even be at an elementary school level.” His lighthearted struggles and quip about potentially being asked to leave the show by the production team add a relatable and comedic touch to the series.
