tvN's U Quiz on the Block will meet viewers with a variety of life stories.
Today (15th, Wed) at 8:45 p.m., episode 314 of U Quiz on the Block (directed by Kwak Cheong-a and Hong Jin-ju, writer Lee Eon-ju) will feature white-hat hacker Park Se-jun, who won first place nine times at the world's top hacking competition, Dr. Son Seong-eun, a pediatric psychiatrist in Daechi-dong with 20 years of experience, college student Lee Dong-hoon who became the owner of an African soccer team at 23, and legendary comedians Lee Kyung-sil and Cho Hye-ryeon.
Park Se-jun, CEO and white-hat hacker who won first place nine times at the world's top hacking competition, will visit U Quiz. Boasting a truly world-class career, he has experience preventing hacking damages worth hundreds of billions of won and, through real cases such as the recent SIM information leak incident, emphasizes the importance of security. While examining misconceptions and truths about "safe passwords," the spine-tingling world of AI hacking will also be revealed. From personalized phishing messages sent by AI hackers to the astonishing idea that everyday devices like robot vacuums or intercoms can turn into spies, the program is expected to capture viewers' attention. Viewers can also look forward to everyday security tips from the world's top-ranked hacker.
The story of Dr. Son Seong-eun, a psychiatry specialist who has been counseling children and adolescents in Daechi-dong for 20 years, also draws attention. With depression and anxiety disorders among children under 9 doubling in four years and emerging as a social problem, Dr. Son is expected to reveal the main symptoms of childhood depression and its seriousness, drawing attention. She will also look into the level test for admission to English kindergartens, the so-called "4-year-old exam" craze, and the adverse effects of early learning caused by it. In addition, the story about praises that can be harmful to children and the side effects of overprotection, revealed by a Daechi-dong psychiatrist, will draw interest. Yoo Jae-suk deeply empathizes with "how to be a good parent" and will add interest by sharing a recent laughter-filled episode with his son Ji-ho.
You can also hear the story of college student Lee Dong-hoon, who became the owner of an African soccer team at 23. Lee Dong-hoon, also well known as the YouTuber "Changbakgol," will tell how, while traveling in Africa, he became the owner of third-division Chijumululu United FC on the remote island of Chijumululu in Malawi. Despite unimaginably poor conditions, such as sand-bottomed stadiums and goalposts made from pipes, his special journey with players who are serious about soccer and dream of becoming "Malawi's Son Heung-min" will leave a deep impression. Alongside behind-the-scenes stories of passionately running the team—from creating sponsorship proposal PPTs sent to some 30 corporations to selling uniforms—he will reveal how he gave new lives to players who once played in borrowed uniforms and plastic shoes. With warm hospitality from the residents and even a promise of land as a gift (?), viewers can see the cinematic saga of a romantic club owner running a soccer team in this episode.
Legendary comedic aunts Lee Kyung-sil and Cho Hye-ryeon, known as "gag world legend aunts," will dominate U Quiz with their fiery banter. From spicy talk that even made Yoo Jae-suk break a sweat to explosive moments sparked by "anakkana," laughter is expected to continue throughout the broadcast. The 30-year relationship of the two, who are representative seniors and juniors in the comedy scene and who are like sisters, will also be revealed. Along with Cho Hye-ryeon's candid confession about struggling with Lee Kyung-sil's nagging in the past, viewers can learn the behind-the-scenes story of the birth of the YouTube content "New Woman." The perfect chemistry with Big Sister and Little Sister is another highlight to look forward to. Lee Kyung-sil's blunt remark toward Cho Sae-ho, who had a ceremony-like wedding, and self-proclaimed "Yoo line" Cho Hye-ryeon's razor-sharp talk will also provoke laughter.
A flood of legendary anecdotes fitting a comedy industry living witness will also be revealed. From Cho Hye-ryeon's college comedy festival preliminary elimination episode that Yoo Jae-suk cannot forget, to behind-the-scenes stories from the "Yeogeol Five" era with PD Na Young-seok, PD Shin Won-ho, and writer Lee Woo-jung, and the untold story behind Cho Hye-ryeon's diet video success, all will appear. The friendship talk of the two, who experienced life's ups and downs together, will also bring deep emotion amid the laughter. Cho Hye-ryeon, recalling how she took a break from broadcasting for personal reasons and stayed in China, said she was moved because Lee Kyung-sil helped her return to broadcasting. Viewers will also see Cho Hye-ryeon's warm sincerity toward longtime close friend and current breast cancer patient Park Mi-seon, saying "we are not alone; we are family."
