An influencer studying physical education at Seoul National University, Jung Hyun-gyu first became known on the 2022 dating show Transit Love 2. His first brain survival show was The Devil's Plan: Death Room (2025), where he led his alliance with a win-first approach and beat Yoon So-hee 2-1 in the final to take the title.
