Various life stories will be revealed on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
In the episode airing on the 4th, singer Haey, who became a professor at an American university, doctor-scientist Cha Yoo-jin, who moved everyone with her KAIST graduation speech, ‘Kumgangsan Jige Hyoja’ Lee Gun-ik, who carried his father on his back to Kumgangsan, and comedian Kim Sook, who is celebrating her 30th anniversary this year, will appear.
Comedian Kim Sook, who is celebrating her 30th anniversary this year, will greet her 28-year friend Yoo Jae-suk by calling him “Senior Metuk” and will bring laughter with a non-stop talk tic-tac from the start. Debuting in 1995 through the College Gag Contest, Kim Sook will share her nostalgic debut story and legendary anecdotes from her time in the comedy world, where she was called ‘Doll+Idiot’. Stories about unique errands that surprised her seniors and various episodes of Yoo Jae-suk, who was known as ‘Senior Metuk’ back then, are expected to add interest.
Viewers will also hear another story from Kim Sook, who experienced a wandering period while disappearing from the broadcasting scene. In particular, she will draw attention with her story of starting a clothing store as a side job and her gaming addiction period, during which she held gaming assets worth 2 trillion. All stories encompassing Kim Sook’s 30 years, including the support from Song Eun-yi during her downtime and Yoo Jae-suk’s nagging, leading up to her winning the Grand Prize at the Entertainment Awards, will be revealed.
The character ‘Slap Girl’, which captivated everyone, and the reason for starting the podcast ‘Secret Guarantee’ with Song Eun-yi, along with memorable quotes from the peak of her popularity, ‘Sook Crush’, and mentions of her ‘crush’ Koo Bon-seung, will also add to the interest. In this era of ‘God Sook’, Kim Sook sincerely conveys, “If you have a dream you want to achieve, don’t give up,” and viewers will be able to hear her life story.
Haey, who sang ‘Je t’aime’ 25 years ago and has now become a professor at an American university, will visit ‘You Quiz’. On this day, Haey will share her unique connection with ‘Eternal Starry Night’ Lee Moon-sae and her story of debuting in the music industry. She will also discuss the reason for her sudden decision to study abroad in the U.S. while expanding her career as a musical actress with the popularity of ‘Je t’aime’, and her journey to becoming a professor after 162 attempts. Her story of achieving her dreams with diligence and perseverance, even while balancing parenting and studying, along with her heartfelt longing for her supportive father, will touch the audience.
A surprise visit from her younger sister So-yi, who came to support her older sister Haey at the recording studio, will also bring joy. The reality sister talk between the two sisters, along with updates on Haey’s husband, singer Jo Kyu-chan, Jo Kyu-man, who sang ‘I’ll Give It All’, and cousin Paul Kim, from their unique musical family, will be revealed. The episode will also feature Haey using ‘You Quiz’ videos as teaching materials and a special live performance that led her to pursue a career as a singer.
The story of doctor-scientist Cha Yoo-jin, who moved everyone with her KAIST graduation speech, will also attract attention. Dr. Cha Yoo-jin will share her journey of changing her career from a scientist to a doctor at the age of 34 and then returning to the path of a scientist. Her story of choosing a new path to overcome the limitations of modern medicine after the death of a young patient suffering from osteosarcoma is expected to leave a deep impression. The story of the scientific genius’s childhood, which was exceptional from the start, will also spark curiosity. Starting her love for science at the Daejeon Expo, she self-taught computer programming and developed a conversation program at the age of 12.
The story of a son who carried his father on his back to climb the 1,639m Kumgangsan will also be shared. Lee Gun-ik, who made an aluminum backpack chair to fulfill the wish of his then 92-year-old father to see Kumgangsan in 2006, is the protagonist who carried his father on his back to the mountain. This broadcast will include the behind-the-scenes story of the ‘Kumgangsan Jige Hyoja’, which became a hot topic across the Chinese continent. The experience of MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho with the backpack, along with Lee Gun-ik’s heartfelt tribute that boasts filial piety higher than a mountain, will touch the hearts of viewers.
‘You Quiz on the Block’ airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM.
