tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' will present a "blooming" special.
Today (8th) at 8:45 p.m., episode 338 of tvN You Quiz on the Block (directed by Heo Kang-seok and Kim Ji-young, writer Lee Un-ju) features Professor Joo Eun-yeon, who has researched insomnia for 20 years; HANRORO, a rock star and icon of youth who has dominated the charts; Park Min-chul, a divorce specialist at the country's top law firm; and the talk bombshell-turned-rookie singer Kim Nam-gil will appear.
In an era with 1.3 million people with sleep disorders, Professor Joo Eun-yeon, who has investigated insomnia for 20 years, visits You Quiz. Professor Joo plans to explore in depth everything from the trigger for the sharp increase in sleep disorder patients to the effects of bad sleep habits on our bodies. In particular, she notes that lack of sleep not only reduces concentration and memory but also has a negative effect on weight loss, and she delivers a shocking warning that "if sleep time is less than five hours, the chance of dementia is three times higher and the risk of stroke also increases." From Cristiano Ronaldo's sleep method of sleeping in broken 90-minute segments to dark showers and waking by bladder, she will examine misconceptions and truths about trendy sleep methods, and listeners can also hear Professor Joo Eun-yeon's tips for getting a good night's sleep. In particular, she warns that "sleep deprivation is etched into the brain like tree rings," and emphasizes that current lifestyle habits will eventually show up on health reports in one's 50s. Viewers can hear all of Professor Joo Eun-yeon's insights about sleep in the broadcast.
HANRORO's story, which sings of the chilly spring of youth, also delivers resonance. HANRORO rose from an ordinary Korean literature college student from Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, to a modern icon of youth and a rock star. Appearing with a tense demeanor, HANRORO adds laughter with unpredictable charm, including the behind-the-scenes of being invited to You Quiz, saying "I thought it was a dream," anecdotes from university when he was called 'Han-noru,' and the Jenny challenge that embarrassed Yu Jae-seok. Having written a lyrical song that comforted youth and achieved a chart comeback, HANRORO also reached No. 1 on the bestseller list with his first novel, Grapefruit Apricot Club, and he shares how he went from loving writing in school to seriously pursuing music. Viewers will hear the behind-the-scenes of his debut song "Ipchun," written while working part-time at a gamjatang restaurant during a lonely life away from home; stories behind comeback songs like "I will love you" and "0+0"; and an unaccompanied live medley. He is also said to have presented a special poem dedicated to Yu Jae-seok, delivering deep emotion. Viewers can hear HANRORO's heartfelt story comforting youth in this broadcast.
You can also hear from Park Min-chul, a divorce specialist at the country's top law firm. Park Min-chul, who plays the husband's lawyer and a maker of memorable lines at the "divorce consideration camp," reveals an unimaginable world of divorce. With witty storytelling, Park recounts how he became famous at a kids' café and an anecdote about visiting the Running Man set. In particular, the behind-the-scenes story of handing out business cards saying "We will handle it without anyone knowing" to married celebrity clients including Yu Jae-seok and Yu's sharp retort to that will be revealed, adding to the laughter. Behind-the-scenes of outrageous divorce cases involving famous celebrities will also be disclosed. Viewers will hear stories ranging from witnessing evidence of an affair in real time while having a meal with a client, to a husband living with three wives in one house, and cases of infidelity that outraged even Yu Jae-seok. In addition, Park Min-chul, who has been with the country's top law firm for 18 years, will reveal the secrets of his fees and offer practical legal advice, capturing viewers' attention.
You can also hear from rookie singer Kim Nam-gil, famous for fan meetings that last more than five hours. Kim Nam-gil, who released his first single "I'm coming to you," returns as a rookie singer rather than an actor, showing his continued talk-bombardier persona. He reveals the reason he is presenting new songs to fans after 16 years, and draws attention by announcing an ambitious goal of aiming for the top 10 in a music market where entering the top 100 is not easy. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories such as the reversal of the stage name "cool tone," music video stories that differed from what Chu Goo-mi pursued, and the vivid reactions of his mother and Yoon Kyung-ho upon hearing the new song "I'm coming to you," adding laughs. A live stage of the new song by the monstrous rookie Kim Nam-gil will be unveiled on broadcast for the first time, raising expectations.
Behind-the-scenes of fan meetings that have sparked "fan kidnapping rumors(?)" because of their long duration are also revealed. On the morning of the fan meeting day, Kim Nam-gil received his mother's desperate plea, "Please don't make it too long," and yet proceeded for a full five hours and 12 minutes, leading to laughter with an episode where rumors of an "early end" circulated. He also vividly recounts experiences such as filming "Excuse-go" with Ju Ji-hoon and Yoon Kyung-ho, where he underwent mirror therapy with Ju Ji-hoon, and the torrent of Ju Ji-hoon's talk at a restaurant after filming. Meanwhile, even after You Quiz recording ended, Kim Nam-gil added laughter by asking, "Is it ending?" and not stopping his words until the end. Viewers can see all of the talk-bombardier Kim Nam-gil's stories as a returning rookie singer in the broadcast.
