tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ reveals diverse stories of key figures who have shaken up various fields.
In the 291st episode of ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (directed by Kwak Cheong-ah and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo), which airs on the 30th, sinkhole expert Professor Jeong Chung-ki, the future of Korean drama and hexagonal actor Moon Woo-jin, the indomitable engineer Lim Jeong-yeol who studied fiercely for a living, and actress Go Yoon-jung will appear.
As sinkhole accidents occurring nationwide every year threaten daily life and become a social issue, sinkhole expert Professor Jeong Chung-ki (Seoul National University), who has studied the ground for 43 years, will reveal everything about sinkholes. Professor Jeong, who joked that he has only looked at the ground since becoming an adult, will attract attention by revealing the causes and warning signs of sinkholes, stating, “You don’t know how complicated it is underground.” The episode will also cover the story of the largest sinkhole accident in Korea that caused casualties in Gangdong-gu, Seoul last March, along with preventive measures for safety issues and practical coping methods that can be implemented in daily life.
The story of the next-generation acting genius Moon Woo-jin, who follows in the footsteps of Yoo Seung-ho and Yeo Jin-goo, is also drawing attention. Debuting at the age of 8 in 2016, Moon Woo-jin has been active as a popular child actor specializing in handsome roles alongside Cha Eun-woo, Park Seo-joon, and Park Bo-gum, showcasing his perfect image as a model student in both acting and academics. Behind-the-scenes stories of his role as a boy possessed by evil spirits in the movie ‘The Black Nun’, which received praise from Song Hye-kyo, will also be revealed. Viewers can look forward to his genuine sibling chemistry with his younger sister who accompanied him to the filming set, as well as his dance skills that made Yoo Jae-suk burst into laughter and a cover stage of G-Dragon.
The story of the indomitable engineer Lim Jeong-yeol, who has obtained three extremely difficult certifications from fire facility management to fire engineering and architectural mechanical equipment engineering, will also be shared. Lim Jeong-yeol, who went from delivering milk and cleaning homes to becoming an executive with a salary in the hundreds of thousands at the age of 56 through studying, will tell his dramatic story. His life-changing turning point after enduring continued financial hardship and his experience of challenging his first certification in his 40s will leave a deep impression. The story of a protagonist who overcame the barrier of age to obtain a certification with a pass rate of less than 5% and became a legend in the industry will be featured.
Actress Go Yoon-jung, who topped the buzz rankings with the drama ‘Someday, the Wise Resident’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Unsljeon’), will meet Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho. It is rumored that director Shin Won-ho will personally support Go Yoon-jung for her first appearance on a variety show. Along with the reunion of Yoo Jae-suk and director Shin Won-ho, which recalls the nostalgic variety show ‘Kong Kong Tta’, director Shin will humorously comment on Go Yoon-jung, saying, “She’s such a good actress, but she hasn’t become a celebrity yet.” On this day, Go Yoon-jung will reveal the reason for her debut as an actress after focusing on art entrance exams during her school days. Viewers will also hear about her journey to becoming a leading actress in her 20s after passing through works like ‘Sweet Home’ and ‘Moving’, along with unexpected audition anecdotes.
Currently active as a first-year obstetrics and gynecology resident Oh Yi-young in the drama ‘Unsljeon’, Go Yoon-jung revealed that receiving the script felt like entering the Marvel universe, drawing attention. Furthermore, she humorously shared that she often says “I’m sorry” like her character Oh Yi-young, a social newcomer, relating it to her own situation as a six-year debutant and revealing common phrases used by newcomers, which elicited laughter. In addition to heartwarming stories shared by the staff, viewers will also see Go Yoon-jung’s portraits of Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho that she draws on set. Her unexpectedly candid and humorous remarks, reminiscent of an elementary school student, are also expected to provide a twist.
tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM.
