Actress Moon Geun-young appears on You Quiz on the Block.
The 340th episode of You Quiz on the Block (directed by Heo Gang-seok and Kim Ji-young, written by Lee Un-ju), airing on tvN at 8:45 p.m. today (22nd), features cognitive psychologist Kim Gyeong-il, who analyzed the uniquely Korean psyche for 36 years; Seo In Young, the queen returning after 10 years; and the eternal national little sister Moon Geun-young, who returns after recovering from a rare disease.
Cognitive psychologist Kim Gyeong-il, who analyzed the uniquely Korean psyche for 36 years, will appear on You Quiz. Professor Kim will add interest by revealing the hidden psychology behind familiar Korean behaviors in everyday life, such as the habit of gathering french fries together and the concert sing-along culture. You can also hear about distinctive Korean traits that attract attention in overseas academia. Professor Kim explains that Koreans have a unique self centered on "relationshipism," and he draws empathy by examining everything from the language habit of using the word "we" unusually often to Koreans' distinctive attitudes toward money. He also intriguingly unpacks another Korean characteristic, the "protagonist mentality." The psychology of valuing others' opinions, a tendency vulnerable to dopamine, and a travel style unique to Koreans that even foreigners find astonishing will all elicit empathy and laughter. You Jae-seok, saying "Even though we're both Korean, it's amazing," is surprised by an episode, and viewers will also hear realistic advice for increasing happiness.
The story of Seo In Young, the "queen" returning after 10 years, also adds interest. Returning transformed from the famously tough older-sister image, Seo In Young appears with "long nails," calling them "the last remaining worldly thing," immediately showing a distinctive presence. Seo In Young will share various stories, including the behind-the-scenes of reaching a combined 14 million views two weeks after opening her YouTube channel. From an episode in which she herself was surprised by the title "reformed" to her blunt retort, "Producer, was I that bad?", she delivers lively humor. She also reveals stories from her peak popularity when she debuted with the group Jewelry, released numerous hit songs, and reached the height of fame with songs like "Cinderella" and "New woman." She recounts behind-the-scenes of dominating various reality shows with devilish star power, and even stories of spending 10 billion won recklessly shopping to fill an empty heart during her prime, capturing attention.
Honest confessions about wandering and regret during her peak years follow. Seo In Young, once chosen as the woman most likely not to lose in a battle of wills, adds laughter with a candid admission that she "might have been a boundary-crossing machine" as she reflects on her reckless youth and appears to repent. She also opens up about difficult past times and family matters. Recalling the moment she lost her mother and shedding tears, Seo In Young recounts feeling "I must live" when she saw her mother taken into the crematorium. She also expresses deep gratitude to her younger sibling, who stayed by her side during times when she suffered from panic disorder and depression. The broadcast will showcase Seo In Young's diverse charms, including a barefoot dance after kicking off her kill heels.
The eternal "national little sister," actress Moon Geun-young, now in her 28th year since debut, appears on a talk show for the first time in 16 years to reveal stories and updates never heard before. Reuniting with Yu Jae-seok on broadcast after 14 years, Moon Geun-young leads the mood with banter like "in the meantime I turned 40" and "as my body grew, my heart grew too." Debuting at 13, Moon Geun-young frankly discusses the "national little sister" syndrome of her teens that began with the drama drama Autumn in My Heart and continued through the films A Tale of Two Sisters and The Little Bride, and the burdens she had to endure at a young age. She will also share nostalgic anecdotes about the grandmother who worked as her manager on set for about 10 years from her debut, and discuss the philosophy and convictions behind her long-standing charitable activities that began in childhood.
She frankly discusses the sudden onset of a rare disease and the rehabilitation process. Moon Geun-young, who was diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome in 2017, recalls the urgent surgery after hearing that necrosis could progress if the golden time passed. She recalls the moment right after surgery when she said, "Mom, I'm so happy I can finally rest with peace of mind," and the anxious period when she might no longer be able to act or when nerve function in her fingers might not return, during which she underwent as many as four surgeries and rehabilitation sessions. After her illness, she gave up an 18-year diet and shares the relatable and humorous experience of eating popcorn in a movie theater for the first time. Behind-the-scenes stories of her return to the theater stage after nine years, her everyday life enjoying domestic travel, and vlogs she filmed herself are revealed for the first time. Now in her 40s, she confesses, "I'm glad life put the brakes on me," reflecting on her teens, 20s and 30s.
