Today (4th, Wed) at 8:45 p.m., the 296th episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kwon Cheong-a and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo) will feature singer Ha-e who has become a university professor in the United States, Cha Yu-jin, a medical scientist who was the protagonist of a graduation speech at KAIST that moved everyone to tears, Lee Gun-ik, who carried his father on a shoulder pack to climb Mount Kumgang, and comedian Kim Sook, who is celebrating her 30th anniversary debut this year.
25 years ago, Ha-e, who sang 'Je t'aime,' is looking for 'You Quiz.' On this day, Ha-e will share her special connection with 'eternal star keeper' Lee Moon-sae, along with her story of debuting in the music industry. She will reveal the reason behind her sudden decision to study in the United States while expanding her career as a musical actress with the popularity of 'Je t'aime,' and her journey to becoming a university professor in the U.S. after 162 attempts. The story of achieving her dreams with perseverance and dedication despite the challenging circumstances of balancing parenting and studying, along with her longing for her supportive father, will provide a touching narrative.
A surprise visit from her younger sister So-yi, who is from Ttima, has brought joy as she came to support her sister Ha-e at the recording studio. Along with the realistic sister talk between the two siblings, Ha-e's husband, singer Jo Gyu-chan, Jo Gyu-man who sang 'I'll Give It All,' and cousin Paul Kim will also be featured, revealing the latest news from their remarkable musical family. The story of how Ha-e, now a university professor, uses 'You Quiz' videos as teaching materials, along with a special live performance that led to Ha-e's career as a singer, can also be seen in the broadcast.
The story of Dr. Cha Yu-jin, a medical scientist who was the protagonist of the graduation speech at KAIST that moved everyone to tears, also draws attention. Dr. Cha Yu-jin will recount her journey of switching from being a scientist to a doctor at the age of 34, and then returning to the path of a scientist. The story of choosing a new path to overcome the limitations of modern medicine following the death of a young patient suffering from osteosarcoma is expected to deliver a deep impression. The story of a child prodigy, who displayed exceptional talent from a young age, will also spark curiosity, as it follows her love for science that began at the Daejeon Expo and her self-taught computer programming skills, which led her to develop a conversation program at the age of 12. Along with the behind-the-scenes of her influential graduation speech at KAIST, the story of Cha Yu-jin, who became a medical scientist after 19 years of wandering, will be fully revealed.
Viewers will also hear the story of a son who climbed the 1,639m Mount Kumgang with his father on a shoulder pack. Mr. Lee Gun-ik is the protagonist who created an aluminum shoulder pack chair to fulfill his 92-year-old father's wish to see Mount Kumgang in 2006 and carried him up the mountain. In the broadcast, the story of the 'Mount Kumgang shoulder pack filial son' that drew attention across the Chinese mainland will be shared, along with behind-the-scenes details from that time. The experience of the two hosts, Yoo Jae-suk and Cho Sae-ho, with the shoulder pack will also be featured, and Mr. Lee Gun-ik's heartfelt sincerity, which boasts filial piety higher than the mountains, will touch the hearts of viewers.
Comedian Kim Sook, who is celebrating her 30th anniversary debut this year, will showcase her hilarious talk on 'You Quiz.' Kim Sook will make her entrance by calling her 28-year friend Yoo Jae-suk 'senior' and is expected to deliver non-stop talk and laughter from the very beginning. Debuting in 1995 at a college comedy contest, Kim Sook will recount her nostalgic debut story, along with legendary anecdotes from when she was called 'a little off' in the comedian world. The remarkable stories that surprised her seniors and various episodes of Yoo Jae-suk, who we didn't know back then, are also expected to add more interest.
Viewers will also hear another story of Kim Sook, who went missing from the broadcasting industry and experienced a period of wandering. In particular, she will capture attention with her story of starting a clothing store as a side business and her days of gaming addiction when she held assets worth 2 trillion won. All stories, including the support she received from Song Eun-i and the advice from Yoo Jae-suk during tough times, culminating in her winning the grand prize at the entertainment awards, will be revealed. The character of 'the girl who slapped' that captured everyone's hearts, her journey to starting the podcast 'Secret Guarantee' with Song Eun-i, and mentions of 'the crush' Koo Bon-seung, essential to Kim Sook's story, will further draw interest. Amid the arrival of the 'era of God Sook,' Kim Sook conveys her heartfelt message: 'If you have a dream you want to achieve, don't give up.'
