185 Million YouTuber RalRal will appear on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block'.
In the episode airing on the 25th, international student Onyu from Equatorial Guinea, actress Shim Eun-kyung who became Yoo Jae-suk's laughter button, and creator RalRal with 1.85 million subscribers will appear.
Born in 1958, the creator RalRal (real name Lee Yoo-ra) is experiencing a peak in her life with her alter ego 'Lee Myung-hwa'. With her mother (Park Young-rim), known as the tenant of room 502, present at the scene, RalRal shares the backstory of how the world of Lee Myung-hwa and room 502 began, revealing the hilarious encounter with Sunwoo Yong-yeo who accepted the alter ego as 'real'.
Viewers will also get a glimpse into RalRal's extraordinary childhood, where she secretly raised 20 hamsters at home, and her fierce moments working various part-time jobs like at a meat restaurant, factory, wedding hall, and selling traditional sweets while dreaming of becoming a musical actress. The lively banter between the mother and daughter, who strive to maintain the upper hand in conversation, will have viewers in stitches as they share colorful stories about RalRal.
RalRal's life turnaround story, which led her to gain 1.85 million subscribers, adds to the intrigue. RalRal, who once had only three viewers, achieved tremendous success after introducing her alter ego Lee Myung-hwa, but she will confess, "Actually, I'm in the negative," revealing that she lost all the money she earned and saved over six years, drawing attention.
Viewers can also look forward to behind-the-scenes stories of the trot songs 'Real Deal' and 'It's a Lot' created in collaboration with Jang Yoon-jung, the birth story of her alter ego YUL aimed at the Y2K sentiment, and a live performance she presents herself. The scene where she plays her signature personal skill, the double flute, as well as her mother's uncontrollable dance time filled with excitement is expected to create a lively atmosphere. Viewers will witness the genuine story of RalRal, the 'real deal' with a golden spoon, amidst her playful chemistry with the tenant of room 402.
The story of Onyu, a college student who came to Busan to study from Equatorial Guinea, will also be revealed. Onyu, who has been living in Korea for five years, studied for 12 hours a day to achieve level 5 in the Korean language proficiency test, sharing her journey of becoming a 'Korean language expert'. Along with her current activities as a superstar at Busan University of Foreign Studies, her love for dakgalbi, teppanyaki fried rice, and four-cut photos adds to the interest in her study abroad experience in Korea.
She will also share stories about her various part-time jobs, such as working at a chicken farm and unloading packages, while thinking of her family back home, and her experience of becoming a fan of Dr. Oh Eun-young's program. Viewers can look forward to behind-the-scenes stories of winning a popularity award with 'Makgeolli Han Jan' at 'National Singing Contest' and a live performance that heated up the 'You Quiz' recording studio. All of Onyu's dreams and stories, including her desire to establish an embassy for Equatorial Guinea in Korea, will be revealed in the broadcast.
Viewers will also hear from actress Shim Eun-kyung, who has captured the entertainment scene with her impactful reactions. Recently, she gained attention for her chemistry with Lee Yi-kyung in a variety show, becoming Yoo Jae-suk's laughter button.
On this day, Shim Eun-kyung will share episodes from her first appearance on a variety show 11 years ago and the story behind her hiatus from the entertainment industry, bringing laughter.

The behind-the-scenes of her appearance in the movie 'Miss Granny' with director Hwang Dong-hyuk, as well as her journey from starting as a newcomer in Japan to becoming the first Korean actress to win the Best Actress Award at the Japanese Academy, will also add to the interest. Shim Eun-kyung's unexpected confession about wanting to form a band in Japan and her edgy dance skills covering the choreography of 'Noona is So Pretty (SHINee)' are expected to capture attention.
