Prodigy Baek Kang-hyun Launches Self-Developed Game After Oxford Rejection

Prodigy Baek Kang-hyun has unveiled a game he developed following his rejection from university, sharing his latest updates.

On the 7th, Baek announced the release of his first strategy puzzle RPG game via his personal social media and YouTube channel. He stated, "After the Oxford acceptance announcement in January, I went through a lot of pain," and described the game as the result of his efforts to push beyond his limits over the past few months.

The game he developed is a strategy puzzle RPG that utilizes the player's logic, memory, and psychological skills. Baek explained, "Despite being a solo development, it matches the scale of major gaming companies," and called it "a work completed through his determination."

Regarding some malicious comments from netizens, Baek took a firm stance. He emphasized, "Baseless criticism holds no meaning for me. All malicious comments are automatically blocked and not checked." He added his plans to "start anew towards a new dream from today."

Meanwhile, Baek Kang-hyun gained attention in the past for recording an IQ of 204 on the show 'Genius Discovery.' He entered Seoul Science High School at the age of 10 but dropped out due to academic environment reasons. After recently sharing news of his rejection from Oxford University, he continues his new endeavors through game development.
