If measured by IQ that's believed to be Kim Ung-yong at 210. Still. if he would not have had poor academia experiences (what did he do at liberal arts college anyway?), he might have been very useful to the world. Terrible waste.

Nah, they'll stop the tank and show their mercy to the international public, while an onslaught of protesting students is going on outside the view of the camera. Then you'll get taken away by a man on a bicycle and never heard from again.
