Former professional Go player Lee Sedol is set to take the tiler certification exam.

In Episode 4 of the KBS 2TV variety show "Unemployed Lee Sedol," airing on the 13th, Lee Sedol will be seen attempting to obtain a tiler technician certification.

On this day, following his one-day challenge as a tiler, Lee Sedol visits an academy in an effort to overcome his clumsy hands, and further takes on the certification exam, demonstrating his burning passion for becoming a tiler. Upon arriving at the tiling academy, Lee Sedol is surprised to see numerous students who have been preparing for a long time.

Lee Sedol then begins with the basics of tile installation. He must apply mortar, an adhesive, evenly to the back of the tiles with a consistent thickness, but he repeatedly fails to control the appropriate amount of mortar, breaking into a cold sweat and eliciting laughter.

However, a female student in her 30s encourages Lee Sedol by saying, "It took me about nine days to get the hang of it as well," creating a heartwarming moment. The female student reveals that she quit her previous job to switch careers to tiling and has been spending approximately 160 hours at the academy over the past month, astonishing Lee Sedol. The tiler technician exam is no easy feat, as candidates are immediately disqualified if they exceed an error margin of 10mm, with nearly half of the test-takers failing. In response, Lee Sedol immerses himself in tile practice until nightfall, showing his burning passion.

Despite his busy schedule, Lee Sedol has carved out time to visit the academy and devote himself to practice. Will he be able to pass the tiler technician exam? The episode airs at 8:30 p.m. on the 13th.
