tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" brings viewers a variety of life stories.
Today (24th, Wed) at 8:45 p.m., the 312th episode of "You Quiz on the Block" (directed by Kwak Cheong-ah and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eun-ju) features child docents Lee Ho-jun and Yoo Hyun-seon and MZ religious figures monk Deok-gyeong, Father Lee Chang-min, Pastor Lee Ye-jun, and the film legends director Park Chan-wook and actor Lee Byung-hun, who reunited after 25 years with "There's Nothing We Can Do."
Child docents Lee Ho-jun and Yoo Hyun-seon, who communicate with visitors through clear explanations at the Seodaemun Natural History Museum, appear on "You Quiz." Each responsible for insects and human evolution, the two introduce the world of child docents directly, from their motivations for applying to lively on-site demonstrations, stimulating viewers' curiosity. In particular, Yoo Hyun-seon's witty question about whether "Pikachu" evolved or metamorphosed, Lee Ho-jun's unusual fandom for animal ecologist Professor Choi Jae-cheon, and the message Professor Choi delivered himself are expected to add interest. Viewers will also be able to see the difficult and rewarding moments the two science-minded docents experienced during their activities and the surprising everyday moments that made Yoo Jae-suk smile. The broadcast will share the passionate stories of child docents that audiences may not have known.
The meeting of MZ religious figures also draws interest. In this episode, NCT fan monk, a "Sodapop" dancing priest, and the youngest pastor at 24 gather and attract attention. Monk Deok-gyeong, Father Lee Chang-min, and Pastor Lee Ye-jun will each tell the stories of how they came to their religions while walking different paths. The story of Father Lee Chang-min, who walked the priestly path after failing auditions at the three major agencies SM, YG and JYP; Monk Deok-gyeong's hardship of having to refrain from going to idol concerts even though he wants to go; and Pastor Lee Ye-jun's passion, who even attends AI academies to improve children's concentration, will draw attention. In particular, Monk Deok-gyeong's surprising confession about relieving stress by gaming, Father Lee Chang-min's dance medley called a "Catholic miracle(?)," and Pastor Lee Ye-jun's moktak (wooden percussion) routine are expected to make the MZ religious grand unification scene even more interesting. Viewers can meet the efforts and diverse stories of MZ religious figures at the center of change and their trends.
The special story of director Park Chan-wook and actor Lee Byung-hun, legends of Korean cinema recognized worldwide, will also be revealed. Having met as a director who "ruined" two films and an actor who "ruined" four films and leaving a mark on Korean film history with 2000's "Joint Security Area (JSA)," the two promise another powerful synergy with their new film "There's Nothing We Can Do" after 25 years.
The broadcast will reveal behind-the-scenes of Park Chan-wook's lifelong project "There's Nothing We Can Do," which he prepared for 16 years, as well as the two's 25-year chemistry that shines at work and in daily life. Viewers will hear the origin of the set nickname Lee Byung-hun gave Park Chan-wook, and Park's candid thoughts about dreaming beyond "Cannes Park" to become "10-million Park." In particular, a fan who runs a mukbap restaurant in Gangwon Province cheered that "it will surpass 'Frozen 2'," and Park Chan-wook's episode of devouring two to three servings of mukbap during filming is expected to add laughs.
The candid stories the two have built together since their unknown days will also be revealed generously. Park Chan-wook will cheerfully recount his obscure early years, when he had to hover around films waiting for opportunities, from activities as a critic to running a video store, as well as the reality of the "boasting and trash-talking" gatherings with prominent directors such as Bong Joon-ho and Ryu Seung-wan. Park's human charm, as he confesses "Is it just me?" and Lee Byung-hun's playful back-and-forth will also provoke laughter.
From Lee Byung-hun's memory of Park Chan-wook's surprising first impression with a "ponytail" to the two's world-class, in-depth directing and acting philosophies, viewers' immersion is expected to increase. The broadcast will offer the two legends' frank, candid talk about Park Chan-wook's pursuit of perfect mise-en-scène, how he finds inspiration, and moments when even the acting god Lee Byung-hun became a complete blank.
