Actor Choo Young-woo is making a triumphant return to tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block'.
In the episode airing on the 18th, twin kindergarten teachers Kim Tae-kyung and Kim Tae-hwa, dedicated rehabilitation medicine professor Jung Se-hee, 29-year-old funeral director Sung Ye-rin, and the star born from 'You Quiz', Choo Young-woo, will appear.
First, Choo Young-woo, who has a special connection with 'You Quiz', returns after 6 years. Six years ago, he appeared on 'You Quiz' as a student from the Korea National University of Arts, which garnered attention.
With a warm greeting from Yoo Jae-suk, who referred to him as "a star born from 'You Quiz'", Choo Young-woo will share his journey from being a student giving private lessons in Korean history to becoming a leading actor. He will also reveal behind-the-scenes stories from his 33-second appearance in 'You Quiz', as well as special family stories showcasing the model DNA from his legendary model father Choo Seung-il to his younger brother Choo Jung-woo.
The behind-the-scenes of Choo Young-woo's debut, who has transformed into the top trending actor of 2025 after appearing in 'Severe Trauma Center' and 'Ok-ssi's Story', adds to the intrigue. He will share the story of how he rejected a casting offer from JYP and entered the Korea National University of Arts, along with experiences of working part-time as a luxury store guard and parking attendant after failing over 100 auditions.
Viewers can also look forward to behind-the-scenes stories from the filming set of 'Severe Trauma Center' with the reliable leader Joo Ji-hoon, as well as Choo Young-woo's personal revelations about his ideal type and dating style. The live stage performance of Choo Young-woo, which was unfortunately edited out from 'You Quiz' six years ago, along with his acting life stories as a 'reasonably trending' actor, will be revealed in the broadcast.
The only twin kindergarten teacher sisters in the country will visit 'You Quiz'. Kim Tae-kyung and Kim Tae-hwa, who say, "We've never been apart for more than 5 days in our lives," will capture attention with their synchronized appearance and matching fashion. The twin sisters will share their story of becoming kindergarten teachers with the same dream, along with exciting episodes that showcase their identical tastes and ideal types.
In particular, the relentless banter between the two has reportedly made even the lively Jo Se-ho raise the white flag, sparking curiosity. Viewers will witness the genuine sisterly chemistry of the energetic twin teachers, who bring smiles to everyone with their affectionate feelings for each other as 'another me'.
The story of Professor Jung Se-hee, a rehabilitation medicine specialist and a 23-year veteran runner, is also drawing attention. Known as a running doctor in the running community, Professor Jung will surprise everyone by revealing his impressive record of running over 1200 km since 2003, stating, "I just ran 14 km today."
Emphasizing that "the almost only way to improve Parkinson's disease is through exercise," Professor Jung will share a case of an 80-year-old stroke patient who recovered through running over two months, capturing the audience's attention. Viewers can also learn about slow jogging, circuit training information, and the truths and misconceptions about joints and aging. The perfect running guide provided by the dedicated Professor Jung Se-hee will be revealed in this broadcast.
The story of 29-year-old funeral director Sung Ye-rin will also be shared. Sung Ye-rin will discuss her journey of becoming a funeral director at the young age of 21, overcoming family opposition, and will reveal everything about the role of a funeral director who accompanies people in their final moments.
From the story of having a drink of soju after accompanying 100 unclaimed bodies to the moment she first shed tears in front of a bereaved family, the last moments of life witnessed by the funeral director will capture attention. Sung Ye-rin's unique struggles as she fulfills her professional mission against societal prejudices, along with her surprising daily life, will also pique interest. The identity of the story that shocked Yoo Jae-suk during the recording will also spark curiosity.
'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM on tvN.
