tvN's You Quiz on the Block will present a "box office king" special.
Today (25th, Wed) at 8:45 p.m., episode 336 of You Quiz on the Block (directed by Heo Kang-seok and Kim Ji-young, writer Lee Un-ju) will feature children who became the focus of attention with school recital videos, Simon Kim who captivated the world with Korean-style barbecue, comedians Yoon Taek and Lee Seung-yoon who have been searching for "the natural man" for 15 years, and Yoo Ji-tae, who rose to 10-million-ticket actor status 28 years after his debut with the film The King's Warden.
Jo Seo-ho and 6-year-old Lee Seo-ha, who became the focus of attention with a school recital video, will visit You Quiz. Four years ago, Jo Seo-ho, who captured the hearts of aunts and uncles nationwide with a video in which he begged to go to daycare even on holidays, now proudly shows off his explosive growth into a true dancing king, and Lee Seo-ha, who swept school recitals with another deadly charm, will also take over You Quiz and present an unrelenting dance parade. As the stars who together amassed 28 million views with their recital videos, the two will blow up the set by making MC Yu Jae-seok fall for them with unexpected answers and talent. In addition to the "Golden" and "Rollin'" stages performed by the two children, the whole family's irresistibly cute dance parade, which turned the set upside down with unmistakable innate dance DNA, is expected to captivate viewers.
You can also hear the story of CEO Simon Kim, who earned Michelin stars for eight consecutive years with Korean-style barbecue. He will reveal not only the journey to achieving annual sales of 100 billion won with Korean-style barbecue in New York, the "home of steak," but also the secrets behind the success of the restaurant that became the No. 1 steakhouse in North America. He will also share behind-the-scenes stories of the enthusiastic response that sells out reservations 15 seconds after opening, along with a glamorous regulars list from Obama to Beckham, Messi and DiCaprio. Simon Kim, who left for New York at 13, will recount how, despite experiencing identity confusion and racism as an immigrant youth, he found the potential of Korean cuisine under a gourmet father and a chef mother and forged his own path. From the real New Yorker's definition of a "New Yorker" to the decisive moves he made through numerous trials and errors, meet all the stories of world-class restaurant CEO Simon Kim who captured the culinary world.
Comedians Yoon Taek and Lee Seung-yoon, who have been searching for "the natural man" for 15 years, meet Yu Jae-seok to share a real wild survival tale. They will offer cheerful laughs, from behind-the-scenes stories of bookings that previously prevented them from appearing on You Quiz to their excited reactions to city filming after a long time. The two will reveal the tumultuous behind-the-scenes story from their reason for appearing on I Am a Natural Person, which they took on thinking it was a healing travel or camping show, to surpassing 700 episodes. Yoon Taek will appear with his companion dog Dalmong, whom he met as if by fate during filming, and viewers will also be able to see Dalmong's "heart attack" fancam.
Lee Seung-yoon recounts everything from his first shoot with a completely naked natural man to the behind-the-scenes of the legendary meme "fish-head curry," and the dizzying moment when he was stung by a giant hornet and taken to the emergency room unconscious. Yoon Taek also reveals his experience of encountering hornet larvae as a meal on the first filming set, which resembled a disaster blockbuster. Stories of the "natural man table" that terrified the two, such as raw sika deer liver, frog soybean paste soup, stir-fried insects with rice, and stone-throw stew, as well as Lee Seung-yoon's behind-the-scenes story that he bought his parents a house with rebroadcasting fees, will add interest as vivid behind-the-scenes of a 15-year-long program. Their heartfelt feelings toward their father, revealed by the two, will also deliver a moving resonance.
You can also hear the story of Yoo Ji-tae, who rose to 10-million-ticket actor status by playing the only villain Han Myung-hoe in the film The King's Warden (hereafter The King's Warden). He shares a humble reflection that "reaching 10 million might be thanks to You Quiz," and unfolds a variety of behind-the-scenes stories related to The King's Warden, which drew more than 14 million viewers, ranking third in Korean film box office history and reaching the top in gross revenue. He will reveal the birth process of Yoo Ji-tae's signature villain "Han Myung-hoe," the intense effort hidden behind overwhelming presence, and his wife Kim Hyo-jin's reaction, and candidly discuss hardships such as sudden weight gain that led to hyperlipidemia, acute gastritis and colitis. In addition to Yoo Ji-tae's own recollections of kind anecdotes about master director Jang Hang-jun, viewers will also meet a surprise interview with Jang Hang-jun. Behind-the-scenes of the confrontation scene with Danjong, described as "acted out of a sense of duty," and Yoo Ji-tae's chilling improvisation on the spot will also be revealed.
You can also hear the sincere acting-life philosophy and family stories of Yoo Ji-tae, now in his 28th year since debut. Along with his deep love for Korean cinema, Yoo Ji-tae's moment as a master of realistic romance, who left the memorable line "How can love change?", draws attention. His acting advice to juniors as a professor and head of the Department of Media Acting at Konkuk University is also expected to leave a deep impression. He also moved listeners by recounting how, under a strong single mother like swaying silver grass, he developed an interest in social welfare. Meet all the candid stories of the "human Yoo Ji-tae," which you cannot hear anywhere else, in this episode.
