Lee Seong-hoon, known for his appearance on 'Single's Inferno 5', will be featured on 'Omniscient Interfering View'. On 'Single's Inferno 5', Lee became the final couple with Choi Min-a-su.

The upcoming episode 388 of MBC's variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View', airing on the 7th, will showcase Lee Seong-hoon, who captured hearts with his straightforward approach on 'Single's Inferno 5'. This time, he will reveal the real-life of a quant trader.

Lee Seong-hoon is an alumnus of the prestigious UC Berkeley and has an impressive resume, having worked as an engineer at global IT giants Google and Amazon. He is currently thriving as a quant trader on Wall Street, a profession often referred to as the 'flower of finance'. The episode will unveil everything about the somewhat unfamiliar profession of quant trading. A quant trader designs investment rules based on mathematical formulas and statistical models, creating programs that automatically invest according to specific patterns. This profession requires not only financial knowledge but also skills in mathematics, statistics, and programming, attracting math geniuses in the financial sector.

Lee Seong-hoon's morning routine begins in a luxury hotel suite with a view of the Han River, where he starts his day shirtless. Upon waking, he meticulously scans global capital flows, analyzing stocks, cryptocurrencies, gold, silver prices, and the KOSDAQ, showcasing his human algorithm-like traits. He also reads and analyzes all news and market trends in their original English versions.

During his time at Berkeley, Lee demonstrated his exceptional skills by participating in the school's representative programming competition. In his daily life, he continues to engage with AI and enjoys coding. Instead of manually checking thousands of comments on his videos, he uses AI to code and instantly monitor key keywords and public opinion.
