On the March 21st episode of KBS2 FM's 'Park Myung Soo's Radio Show,' Park Myung Soo talked about his school days. He stated, "My IQ during middle school was 97. When I became an adult, my IQ came out to be 113. I'm not very smart.

The worldwide average IQ or Intelligence Quotient ranges from 85-115. Although Park Myung Soo falls well within the average range, since South Korea's average IQ is 106 and is actually the country with one of the highest average IQ in the world, many Koreans might consider 97 to be pretty low. 

Guest Nam Chang Hee also commented during the broadcast, "My IQ is also 114." Announcer Jung Da Eun joined in with, "I don't know my IQ. My mom won't tell me.

Nam Chang Hee then stated, "The members of Mensa (a high IQ society) are so far ahead," sharing his admiration for those who have a higher intelligence than himself. 


Netizens have commented that they don't think IQ matters that much, however. Top comments include: "Even though his IQ was 97, he makes the whole nation laugh and happy. Park Myung Soo is the best," "Your quality of life is not proportional to your IQ," and, "Having an IQ of 97 doesn't make you dim-witted.
