So this prodigy was born to a Korea woman married to a Japanese guy.

From Wikipedia:

Sho Timothy Yano (矢野 祥, born October 22, 1990[citation needed], Portland, Oregon) is a Japanese-Korean boy who was born in the USA, and reportedly scored over 200 on an I.Q. test. Yano's father, Katsura, is of Japanese descent and his mother, Kyung, is of Korean descent.

Yano reportedly played Chopin on the piano at age 3. He went to the Mirman School as a child. After scoring 1500 out of 1600 on the SAT at age 8, he entered Loyola University at age 9, graduating summa cum laude at age 12, and now attends the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago in the MSTP (Medical Scientist Training Program) program designed to earn a combined MD and PhD. According to him, he owes much of his success to his mother, who noticed his intellectual gifts at an early age and helped stimulate him through rigorous academic enrichment. She also homeschooled him through the 12th grade, saying she felt other students his age wouldn't be as interested in their studies. [1]
