The honest life stories of the cast will be revealed on tvN 'You Quiz on the Block.'
The 293rd episode airing today (14th, Wed) at 8:45 p.m. of 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kwak Cheong-a and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo) will feature media expert Professor Yoo Hyun-jae from Sogang University, actor Park Hae-soo, teacher Kim Ji-hwon, who shares life tips with children every morning, and teacher Lee Myung-hak, who returned after 42 years in the education profession.
As South Korea achieved the highest YouTube viewing hours worldwide, Professor Yoo Hyun-jae from Sogang University's Department of Communication and Media finds 'You Quiz.' A former copywriter who created the famous advertising slogan 'Pleasant, refreshing, and exhilarating,' Professor Yoo will emphasize the detrimental effects of indiscriminate fake news, malicious comments, and algorithms on our daily lives. The reason Yoo Jae-suk reads a newspaper every day and the algorithm detox methods that Professor Yoo will introduce are also expected to attract attention. Additionally, Professor Yoo's unique background that sparked his interest in the influence of media and the need for legal regulation targeting YouTube, which falls into a legal gray area, will further arouse interest.
Audiences can also hear the story of actor Park Hae-soo, who has achieved global success with every project, from 'Prison Playbook' and 'Squid Game' to 'Suriname' and 'Karma.' Park Hae-soo greeted viewers with his catchphrase, "Did you have a meal?" and added humor by noting that unlike his intense acting in the popular 'Karma,' he is actually shy and sometimes enjoys attention. His colorful part-time job experiences, ranging from Santa Claus giving gifts to a balloon-making clown, as well as his hidden singing talent, are set to be revealed in this episode.
The story of Park Hae-soo's ten years of anonymity, which shaped the actor he is today, will also captivate viewers. "I struggled like a duck," he said, reflecting on his journey of building his skills and the behind-the-scenes of his first leading role audition in 'Seulgi,' which he encountered at the age of 37. Furthermore, his thoughts on the 'Netflix public servant theory,' along with moments as a father, and how he started calling his son 'Squid Boy' are expected to add interest. All of Park Hae-soo's stories that marked the beginning of his era will be shared in this broadcast.
The story of teacher Kim Ji-hwon (from Chuncheon Hupyeong Elementary School), who has touched adults' hearts with inspiring quotes for children, is also drawing attention. Teacher Kim achieved a total of 73 million views with her morning videos communicating with kids. Declaring, "You Quiz was my dream," she made Yoo Jae-suk and Cho Sae-ho smile with her overflowing positive energy from the moment she appeared. On this day, teacher Kim is expected to capture viewers' attention by addressing the challenges of apologizing and declining in everyday life, regardless of generation. Her life tips, which includes a magical phrase for self-love that moved even adults, is anticipated to charm the audience.
Teacher Lee Myung-hak, who taught the meaning of 'springs' five years ago, returns to 'You Quiz' after concluding 42 years in the education profession to share his sincere stories. With humor overflowing throughout the recording, teacher Lee captured Yoo Jae-suk's attention with his exceptional storytelling abilities, while the return of his intriguing Chinese character classroom cannot be overlooked. He also shares the story of how he took on the role of principal at his alma mater, Jungdong High School, and sent a group letter to parents, as well as his transformation into the 'Pointed Principal.' The innovations he achieved in the educational foundation that broke the stereotype of 'sending many students to Seoul National University' and memorable stories about students, along with recent developments regarding the Jungdong High School cheerleading team, are set to attract interest. Teacher Lee Myung-hak's unique educational philosophy, which declared 'Creating a school where even the last place is happy,' along with his 'real advice' for today's students, is expected to resonate deeply.
