tvN "You Quiz on the Block" will present a special "I know because I tried" episode.
Today (3rd) at 8:45 p.m., episode 321 of You Quiz on the Block (directed by Kwak Cheong-ah and Heo Gang-seok, writer Lee Un-ju) will feature 20-year-old special cleaner Eom Woo-bin, cardiovascular thoracic surgeon Professor Yoo Jae-seok, psychiatrist and investor Park Jong-seok, and actor Jung Kyung-ho.
Young special cleaner Eom Woo-bin, who cleans tomorrow for people standing at the end of life, visits "You Quiz." You will hear his stories of organizing someone's last moments, from hoarder homes to solitary deaths, suicides and natural disaster sites. He will recount unforgettable on-site stories, from opening a door at a mysterious sound and being hit by a "rain of cockroaches," to the painful moment of reading a diary found at the home of a peer who died alone. Eom Woo-bin, who spent his school years as a reclusive loner, also confesses that he felt more at ease in dirty spaces and through that experience came to understand people's hearts more deeply while doing special cleaning work. Along with his sincere wish to comfort those with similar experiences, the stories of life and death as seen by a special cleaner are expected to deliver a deep resonance to viewers.
The story of cardiovascular thoracic surgeon Professor Yoo Jae-seok, who is known as the real-life model for thoracic surgeon Kim Jun-wan in the drama Hospital Playlist, will be revealed in this broadcast. Professor Yoo, who shares the same name as a big star, says "It was my dream to meet Yoo Jae-seok before I die," and shares the unusual troubles he faces because of his name, bringing laughter. Professor Yoo also introduces the story of having two-thirds of his lung removed in the past and how he coincidentally ended up sharing a hospital room with a patient who had resented him, believing he had transmitted the disease to them. He will recount how being confined in an isolation ward by an unexpected illness led him to understand and help lonely patients, delivering an emotional account. In addition to hidden stories not shown in the drama, viewers will also learn about the warning signs of myocardial infarction that have been rapidly increasing among young people recently, and the misunderstandings and truths about them.
The story of psychiatrist and investor Park Jong-seok also draws attention. He will recount his tumultuous experience of losing his entire fortune to stocks, even leaving Yoo Jae-seok speechless. Episodes include achieving an 80% return in five months and borrowing everything to invest 300 million won, and despite using his severance pay, he ultimately lost all his assets and his job and suffered from depression; these confessions will be revealed. Through his experience he came to understand stock addiction, and he shares the aphorism "Only someone who lost 200 million won knows the heart of someone who lost 100 million won," describing how he established himself as a domestic expert in treating stock addiction. The broadcast will also reveal practical solutions to escape stock addiction, raising interest in the program.
You can also hear the story of Jung Kyung-ho, who has solidified his reputation as a "professional actor for professional roles" by leading many hits as professionals such as doctors, prison guards, detectives and instructors. In the new tvN weekend drama PROBONO, in which he plays a former judge turned lawyer, he continues his association with professional characters and will share behind-the-scenes of his 22-year acting career. Revealed will be vivid backstories tied to career-defining works, from debut days when he did not appear in a bust shot until episode 8 of Mianhada Saranghanda (I'm sorry, I love you), to the process of conveying his earnestness to director Shin Won-ho and writer Lee Woo-jung to be cast in Prison Playbook, and episodes with Park Hae-soo. Viewers will see his obsessive efforts in character research and surprising everyday-life behind-the-scenes, such as once wearing a winter padded jacket on a summer walk that led to police being called.
A special story about Jung Kyung-ho and his father, producer Jung Eung-young, who is indispensable to his acting career, will also be revealed. The heartfelt father-and-son story of star producer Jung Eung-young, who created dramas that surpassed a 53% viewership rating such as Men of the Bathhouse, and his son Jung Kyung-ho, who grew into a star actor, is expected to add emotional depth. Jung Kyung-ho honestly recounts his childhood awakening to acting as he naturally encountered scripts placed throughout the house, and the process of choosing the path of an actor despite his father's objections. Also revealed for the first time on broadcast will be the story of how they came to understand each other on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage they took together and the sincere text messages they exchanged.
