Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson will appear in the 300th special episode of 'You Quiz on the Block'.
The episode airing on the 9th will be a continuation of the 300th special of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kwak Cheong-ah and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo). To celebrate the 300th episode, Scarlett Johansson, along with the 'special guests' recommended by viewers, the legendary hair salon owner Ko Hyo-seok, Mrs. Kim Jong-soon, and the legendary late-blooming scholar Dr. Gong Geun-sik, who became an aerospace engineer after farming watermelons, will appear.
In this broadcast, the identity of the 'special guest' recommended by viewers will be revealed. A public recruitment event for participants was held to celebrate the 300th episode, receiving over 10,000 submissions, proving the explosive interest. As the protagonist chosen by viewers for the 300th special is revealed, curiosity about what stories will unfold when they meet Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho is heightened.
The return of the guests from the legendary hair salon, who created memorable moments with Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho seven years ago, also raises expectations. The guests from the hair salon boldly shouted "We won't do it" in response to the signature question of 'You Quiz', making everyone burst into laughter. They are also being talked about as legendary ordinary guests that the two MCs want to see again.
The hot interest is focused on the unpredictable talk of the 2025 version of the trio, completed with the appearance of new faces, including the hair salon owner Ko Hyo-seok and Mrs. Kim Jong-soon, who made Yoo Jae-suk sweat. The unpredictable flow of conversation, along with the sudden start of the 'What's in My Bag' time, where Mrs. Kim Jong-soon suddenly lays out a mat on the floor to demonstrate a Spartan morning exercise method, is expected to blow up the scene. Viewers will witness the special reunion with the legendary guests from the hair salon in this broadcast.
The story of Dr. Gong Geun-sik, who became an aerospace engineer after farming watermelons, is also drawing attention. With 10 years of experience in watermelon farming, Dr. Gong will share tips on how to pick the best watermelons and reveal the reason he started his night school journey at the age of 28. His journey of dedicating five years to commuting between the farm and school while passionately studying quantum mechanics, along with his life-changing story of being the first Korean to enroll in a prestigious Russian engineering university at the age of 42, will leave a deep impression.
The story of being misunderstood as an industrial spy during his early years abroad and the mystery behind being expelled from a prestigious Russian university only to be readmitted also sparks curiosity. The miraculous dream story that he achieved while sacrificing even his teeth for his beloved mother will be fully revealed in this broadcast.
Scarlett Johansson, who was named one of the '100 Most Influential People' by Time magazine in 2025, is another point of anticipation that cannot be missed. With many fans in Korea who affectionately call her 'Jo Han-soon' and 'Han-soon-i', Scarlett will mention the special moment when she sent a video letter to 'You Quiz' four years ago, adding to the excitement.
Scarlett, who appeared in the blockbuster 'Jurassic World: Dominion' with a production cost of 240 billion won, is expected to share her humorous remarks, saying, "Dinosaurs must have high appearance fees," and express her feelings about becoming the protagonist of the Jurassic series she enjoyed as a child. When Yoo Jae-suk's work 'Eternal and the Cosmic Monster' is mentioned, she humorously sends a love call saying, "Let's make a dinosaur movie together."
Viewers will also get to know about Scarlett Johansson's acting career, which has spanned 30 years in Hollywood since she started as a child actor at the age of 8. Along with stories about her life character, the Marvel hero 'Black Widow', she will reveal the behind-the-scenes of her auditions where she often faced rejection due to her husky voice, which has now become her trademark.
Her unexpected casting anecdotes, which make it seem like she should always be the first choice for casting, along with her honest confession that "I feel anxious every time I start a new project," will draw attention. The special collaboration proposal that excited Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho, as well as the Hollywood dining culture and Scarlett Johansson's mom moments, will also pique interest. Everything about the beloved actress Scarlett Johansson will be revealed in this broadcast.
'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM.
