Professor Ross King, who established a Korean village, made an appearance.
In the episode aired on the 5th of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' Professor Ross King, who established the world's only Korean village in the United States, made an appearance.
Professor Ross King said he came to Korea to study the late Lee Kun-hee's donated ancient texts. He noted, "Something has come out, but I will discuss it in a private setting," mentioning that it was related to research on the creation of Hangul, drawing attention.
Professor Ross King surprised everyone by stating that he speaks 22 languages, including English, Korean, Russian, German, and French. He said, "I learned Korean while attending Yale University in 1980." Taxes added, "You have been studying Korean longer than I have because I was born in 1982."
Professor Ross King surprised everyone by saying, "Back then, it was completely a wasteland. There were no proper textbooks, and Yale didn't teach it, so I had no choice but to self-study."
Professor Ross King drew attention when he remarked, "At first, I learned purely out of intellectual curiosity. The upper generation who studied Korean were mostly U.S. military personnel or missionaries, but I might be the first person who learned out of curiosity."
Professor Ross King drew attention by recounting the scenery he saw when he first came to Korea. He said, "When I first came, I wanted to meet Korean university students my age. I was just starting to learn Korean, so I couldn't do much. At that time, I received a pass to enter the U.S. Army's 8th Army base. I went into a barbershop then, where some women were present. I chatted with them all day long. Thanks to those women, I learned a lot of Korean." [Photo: tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' broadcast capture]
