tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' presents diverse life stories to viewers.
Today's (3rd, Wed) broadcast at 8:45 p.m. features the 309th episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kwak Cheong-ah and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eun-joo), which includes Lee Na-gyeong, who is the first Korean woman to successfully circumnavigate the globe on a windless yacht, the married couple Kangnam and Lee Sang-hwa, who are in their 7th year of marriage, and five police officers who saved a citizen's life during a gathering at a pig's trotters restaurant.
Lee Na-gyeong, who completed a world tour on a windless yacht for 330 days as the first Korean woman, finds her way to 'You Quiz.' Having sailed a distance equivalent to about two circuits around the Earth, totaling 74,000 km, Lee Na-gyeong admits, "It was scarier to quit my job than to go out to sea." She shares the reasons that led her to embark on a world tour, leaving behind the stable life she had after working for 10 years as an insurance actuary in Singapore. The broadcast will unveil her challenging and moving journey at sea, as well as the intense 24-hour life shared with team members of various nationalities and professions in a small yacht. From the thrilling moments when the boat almost capsized over 20 times in just four hours to the deep life lessons learned after completing the voyage, viewers can witness the impactful encounter with Lee Na-gyeong through this broadcast.
The episode featuring the married couple, Ice Queen Lee Sang-hwa and entertainment genius Kangnam, in their 7th year of marriage, adds more interest. Upon reuniting with Yoo Jae-suk after a long time, Kangnam creates laughter from the start with his unexpected comment, "Did you have your jaw done? Why does your face look so small?" Alongside Kangnam's free-spirited remarks, Lee Sang-hwa's firm management of her husband's antics makes Yoo Jae-suk remark, "You seem like a management CEO" and "I thought you were Oh Eun-young." The couple plans to candidly share their real-life stories, including the reason Kangnam's mother opposed their relationship due to their puppy causing their secret dating to be exposed, and the events surrounding their meeting. Episodes from Kangnam's playful childhood, which he described as having the highest level of difficulty in parenting, and the couple's daily life, which is filled with ups and downs due to her husband's antics, will also add to the humor.
Lee Sang-hwa, the holder of the world record that has remained unbroken for 12 years, is also expected to share her honest feelings about having to end her 25-year athlete career due to a knee injury, along with behind-the-scenes stories from her legendary athlete days. Kangnam inspires with the story of how he personally obtained a massage certification for his wife, but soon creates chaos on set with an unexpected revelation that flusters Lee Sang-hwa. The broadcast will reveal Kangnam's entertainment career, which expanded from being a star on 'Home Alone' to working on YouTube, his deep affection that caused Lee Sang-hwa to decide to naturalize, and Lee Sang-hwa's caring moments when looking after Kangnam's father, who underwent stomach cancer surgery, along with their delightful and honest stories.
There will also be a story about the 'Police Avengers,' who gained attention for saving a citizen's life while eating pig's trotters. Kwon Du-sung, Jung Hee-mok, Lee Hu-seong, Jo Han-sol, and Chung Yong-jin celebrate their 10th anniversary of being appointed as police officers and while gathering at a pig's trotters restaurant, they rushed out at the urgent call for help from a woman to save a citizen who had collapsed from cardiac arrest, receiving praise as 'real-life heroes.' Their miraculous story, which saved a life within the golden time through seamless teamwork, including CPR, controlling bleeding, retrieving an automated external defibrillator by jumping over a turnstile, and providing the onsite footage to the paramedics, will be revealed. The tense timeline of the situation and behind-the-scenes of the urgent rescue scene will also be introduced.
The hidden behind-the-scenes footage captured on CCTV, showing the officers giving a salute to each other as soon as they met at the pig's trotters restaurant, adds more interest, along with the anecdote that they were misunderstood as 'men who fled while eating pig's trotters' due to the news headlines after the rescue news was reported. Additionally, a time capsule they created during their police academy graduation ceremony 10 years ago will be revealed for the first time, drawing attention. The heartfelt story of the five police officers, who are always guarding the citizens, can be observed in this broadcast.
