tvN You Quiz on the Block will present a "no match" special.
Today (14th, Wed) at 8:45 p.m., episode 327 of You Quiz on the Block (directed by Heo Gang-seok, writer Lee Un-ju) will feature 9-year-old go prodigy Yu Ha-jun, who broke the youngest professional entry record in 63 years; reliable top actor Kim Hyeyoon; and Lim Seong-geun, a Culinary Class Wars 2 contestant nicknamed the "omani sauce lord" who has sparked sensational popularity.
Nine-year-old go prodigy Yu Ha-jun, who wrote a new chapter in Korean go history, meets Yu Jae-seok. Yu Ha-jun became a professional at 9 years, 6 months and 12 days, beating Cho Hun-hyun's 63-year-standing youngest-entry record by 23 days. He will recount how a single go book he happened to pick up at 6 drew him into the competitive world and his journey to becoming the youngest professional player. Viewers will also hear candid thoughts about living legends of the go world and the real-life figures behind the film Seungbu, Cho Hun-hyun and Lee Chang-ho, as well as some spicy advice Cho Hun-hyun personally gives Yu Ha-jun. In daily life he is a shy 9-year-old boy, but at the board he shows the composure of a winner, revealing a surprising charm that is a highlight to watch. The show also teases a special "You Quiz" go match pitting world No. 1 Shin Jin-seo against youngest-entry record holder Yu Ha-jun, raising expectations.
Viewers will also hear from reliable top actor Kim Hyeyoon. From her entrance she displays chemistry, telling Yu Jae-seok, "You seem to find me cute," showing intimate rapport. In the broadcast, Kim Hyeyoon will share stories from her time as a member of a broadcast dance crew who swept talent shows in middle school to her rise as a leading rom-com queen. Her seven years doing bit parts and more than 100 auditions during that struggle add to the interest. Kim Hyeyoon will candidly recount her early acting days when she was criticized as an amateur and the hurt of appearing in 50 works without character names. She will also share the "Hyeyoon way of thinking," a personal routine she developed amid anxiety and uncertainty, bringing laughter.
She will add intrigue with behind-the-scenes stories from the audition that became a turning point in her acting career for Sky Castle and the backstory of "Lovely Runner," which the writer reportedly had Kim Hyeyoon in mind for when writing. In addition to behind-the-scenes on playing an MZ-era gumiho in No Tail to Tell, the broadcast will reveal candid stories about the person Kim Hyeyoon that have never been heard before. Viewers will also be able to see Kim Hyeyoon, the lovable Princess Mamel, perform the Wonder Girls' "Nobody" dance in the main broadcast.
Interest also centers on Im Seong-keun, currently considered Korea's hottest chef. He recorded first place for two consecutive weeks in TV·OTT integrated non-drama cast topicality; responding to Yu Jae-seok's congratulations, he joked, "Did I push aside the person I respect, Yu Jae-seok(?)," bringing laughter from his entrance. After appearing on Culinary Class Wars 2, Im Seong-keun rose to prominence with nicknames such as omani sauce lord, middle-aged beast, and Im-jjang. A winner of Hansik Daepyeop 3, he has 43 years devoted to Korean cuisine and will share the "countless" stories from Culinary Class Wars 2. Viewers will hear about why he initially declined to appear in season 1 of Culinary Class Wars and behind-the-scenes of when he showcased five dishes in 180 minutes as if using a space-compression technique. He says, "I thought if I showed a little performance, people would fall for me," adding, "I know a bit about broadcasting," which makes Yu Jae-seok burst out laughing.
The candid story of Im Seong-keun, first revealed on the broadcast, will also deliver a deep resonance. Im confesses that he ran away from home during winter break in third year of middle school and moves viewers with his regret for not fully repaying his mother's kindness. Viewers will also see Im Seong-keun's cooking performances that rapidly coined the new term "fast dining." Along with an impromptu drumming performance, his home-shopping-style knife skills are expected to produce constant laughter. From his catchphrases that explode every time he speaks, such as "I'll send you to heaven for 20,000 won," to the three-course black-and-white feast that even captivated Yu Jae-seok, his eating show is an unmissable highlight.
