Jung Joon-Young (JJY) Universe: Where to find "The Genius Game"?

January 3, 2024 12:05 PM

I love unscripted Korean reality mental strategy game TV shows. Does anyone know a reputable place to stream "The Genius Game"?

I watched Bloody Game 2 on Kocowa on Amazon and the Devil's Plan on Netflix. I know the Genius Game is one of the earlier Korean versions of unscripted mental strategy game TV shows but cannot find streaming episodes anywhere. Subs not needed although English Subs are always nice to have. ITV recently optioned The Genius Game for the UK and they are recruiting now for contestants. Tomorrow is the application deadline. Excited to see the UK version hopefully next year. The Dutch version came out last year. Does anyone know a reputable place to stream the Korean seasons?

Best answer: According to the Korean internets, Season 1 is currently only available for streaming on TVING, a Korean streaming service. From Season 2 onwards it’s also available through Naver’s streaming service. Both are essentially Korea-only services, as in you’ll need a Korean IP address, a Korean mobile phone number in your name to verify your identity, and a Korean method to pay to view each episode or subscribe to the service.

tvN channels on YouTube have highlight clips (example). Search using the term 더지니어스 - some are in tvN channel and some in tvN D ENT channel. Searching with that term on Google may turn up some unofficial sites, which you enter at your own risk.


(By the way, did you mean Jung Jong-yeon? Because Jung Joon-Young is a former Superstar K contestant and entertainer currently serving a prison sentence for rape)
