The long-awaited 300th special prepared by tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' unveils itself.
Today (2nd), at 8:45 p.m., the 300th episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kwak Cheong-a and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo) features Park Cheon-hyu, the writer who won 6 Tony Awards with the Korean original musical 'Perhaps Happy Ending,' and singer Lee Hyori, who is loved as an icon of the era.
Park Cheon-hyu, the writer who captivated Broadway with the Korean original musical 'Perhaps Happy Ending,' visits 'You Quiz.' Park Cheon-hyu plans to share his thoughts on achieving the historic feat of winning 6 Tony Awards at one of the four major art awards, as well as the intense production process and success secrets. The deep story of the duo, Will Aronson and Park Cheon-hyu, who have been writing musicals together for 14 years including lyrics, composition, writing, and directing, adds to the interest. Known as the 'Will-Hyu duo,' the two made Yu Jae-suk and Cho Sae-ho perk up their ears with the story of how they wrote a script in a small theater in Daehangno and captured the Tony Award just one year after their Broadway debut.
Viewers can also encounter the New York local reactions relayed by Will Aronson, the co-awardee and life mate, as well as some surprising behind-the-scenes stories of 'Perhaps Happy Ending.' In particular, Will Aronson reveals that Park Cheon-hyu is "like a spouse who's not really a spouse," showcasing their unique couple chemistry. Meanwhile, Park Cheon-hyu shares unexpected feelings along with a story about the congratulatory message he received from filmmaker and producer Steven Spielberg, drawing further interest. He notes about 'Perhaps Happy Ending,' "I devoted my youth to it" and adds, "It's not just a perhaps; for me, it's the happiest ending possible," which will all be revealed during this broadcast.
The eternal icon of the era, singer Lee Hyori, meets Yu Jae-suk and Cho Sae-ho for the 300th special of 'You Quiz.' Lee Hyori is expected to captivate viewers not only with her characteristic unfiltered talk but also with her lively sibling chemistry with Yu Jae-suk, whom she has known for 27 years. Radiating the aura of a 'fashionista,' Lee Hyori will unveil her entire journey that has kept her at the center of attention for 27 years since her debut. She plans to share stories, including her tough times during the Fin.K.L days, the behind-the-scenes of her solo career that marked the beginning of a syndrome with 'Ten Minutes,' and her remarkable achievements as the first entertainer to win both music and entertainment awards, shining as an iconic trendsetter.
Viewers can also hear about Lee Hyori's memories from her time living in Jeju, including a behind-the-scenes look at her relationship with her husband, Lee Sang-soon, whom she fell in love with while living in an attic room, and the story of how she suddenly decided to move to Jeju after marriage. Emotional recollections about her dog, Soon-shim, as well as the touching story of her heartfelt drawings will be shared. Additionally, the behind-the-scenes moments from her memorable address at the University of National Korea, where she shouted, "Life is living alone" while singing 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,' alongside her heartwarming encounter with a rare disease YouTuber at a festival, will be unveiled. Nostalgic memories with Yu Jae-suk, whom she has shared 27 years with, are also expected to be a highlight. Lee Hyori's first encounter with Yu Jae-suk, where she felt sympathy, and her friend's interesting 'Mother Teresa moment' revealed by Yu Jae-suk are anticipated points of interest.
Moreover, Lee Hyori shares her thoughts on her prime age and what it means to live 'as oneself.' "I've always felt nervous for 27 years," Lee Hyori reveals, expressing her fears that the love directed towards her could vanish in an instant, leading to genuine confessions and even tears during her recounting. Listeners will be able to experience the stories she has always wanted to communicate through 'You Quiz,' including her first tale and a live stage performance she shares.
