Kim Jong-min is outraged by Egon Schiele's scandalous behavior.

JTBC's 'Lecture Battle Show: The Swindlers' (planned by Min Cheol-gi, directed by Park Hyun-jung and Baek Soo-jin) is set to captivate viewers with its unprecedented theme of 'the worst scandals in history,' filled with affairs, cohabitation, and love triangles.

In this episode, four of South Korea's top lecturers, Kim Ji-yoon, Sun Kim, Kim Heon, and Lee Chang-yong, will delve into some of the most shocking stories, unraveling historical controversies and scandals in an engaging manner that is sure to pique curiosity.

Notably, the show will spotlight infamous figures such as Egon Schiele, known as the 'worst problematic figure in the art world,' the scandalous Gucci family with their notorious marital drama, the homosexual relationship between Greece's greatest philosopher Socrates and his student Alcibiades, and Jeffrey Epstein, the central figure in one of America's most infamous scandals involving global elites.

Among these, the story of Egon Schiele, a master of Austrian expressionism, stands out. Despite his popularity, evidenced by ongoing exhibitions in Korea, his career began with a shocking scandal involving a minor. The show promises to reveal the startling truths about Schiele's scandal with a vivid XR stage that feels like stepping into an actual art museum. The continuous revelations about Schiele's shocking past prompted MC Kim Jong-min to express his anger, reportedly saying, "He deserves a slap."

Meanwhile, the scandal that tainted the prestigious Gucci family is equally shocking. Sun Kim will unveil the thriller-like tale of 'modern Cinderella' Lady Gucci, whose obsession and conspiracy led to murder. Newlywed MC Kim Jong-min, who recently married a non-celebrity 11 years his junior, will also share a surprising confession about his 11-month marriage, stating, "My wife has changed a lot since we got married."

The episode airs on JTBC on the 19th at 8:50 PM.
