For each $N\geq1$, consider the normalized König bilinear form $B_{\mathrm K}:L_\infty(\mathbb R^N)\times L_\infty(\mathbb R^N)\to\mathbb R$ given by \[ B_{\mathrm K}(f,g):=\frac{1}{(\sqrt{2}π)^N} \iint_{\mathbb R^N\times\mathbb R^N} f(x)g(y)e^{-(\lVert x\rVert^2+\lVert y\rVert^2)/2} \sin\langle x,y\rangle\,\mathrm d x\,\mathrm d y, \] We define the König constant by \[ \mathfrak K_{\mathrm K}:=\sup_{N\geq1}\sup_{\substack{f,g:\mathbb R^N\to\{\pm1\}\\ f,g\ \mathrm{measurable}}}B_{\mathrm K}(f,g). \] The study of this bilinear form arose from efforts to determine the exact value of the Grothendieck constant. König~\cite{KONIG} conjectured that the sharp value should instead be given by the one-dimensional half-spaces $B_{\mathrm K}(\operatorname{sgn}(x_1),\operatorname{sgn}(x_1))=\frac{2}π\log(1+\sqrt{2})$. A positive answer to this conjecture, together with a classical upper bound of Krivine \cite{KRIVINE}, would determine the exact value of the Grothendieck constant. In a breakthrough~\cite{BMMN}, Braverman, Makarychev, Makarychev, and Naor disproved König's conjecture already in dimension two and used their counterexamples to obtain the first strict improvement over Krivine's bound. One question in \cite{BMMN} attempts to determine the Grothendieck constant through alternating Krivine rounding schemes arising from König's bilinear form in high dimension. More recently, Li et al.~\cite{LISK} constructed high-dimensional examples showing that $\mathfrak K_{\mathrm K}\ge 0.59357$. An elementary Fourier argument gives $\mathfrak K_{\mathrm K}\le 1$ and excludes equality for every finite-dimension. In this paper, we prove that $\mathfrak K_{\mathrm K}=1$ by constructing a family of Boolean pairs in high dimensions. In particular, this gives a negative answer to the high-dimensional aspect of the question in \cite{BMMN}.
