tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block once again proved it is the undisputed ruler of Wednesday nights by recording overwhelming ratings and topicality.
According to ratings research firm Nielsen Korea on the 23rd, the 340th episode of You Quiz on the Block (directors Heo Gang-seok, Kim Ji-young; writer Lee Un-ju), which aired on the 22nd (Wed), recorded an average of 4.4% and a peak of 6.5% in the metropolitan area households, and an average of 4.1% and a peak of 6.0% nationwide. With this, it continued its high-flying run by taking first place in its time slot including cable and comprehensive programming channels.
In particular, in the tvN target demographic of men and women 20-49, it ranked first across all channels including terrestrial broadcasters in the same time slot, confirming strong support from younger viewers.
It also proved viewers' explosive interest by topping the TV non-drama topicality category for the third week of April announced by Good Data Corporation FUNdex.
Catching both ratings and topicality like this and showing the power of "god-nung," You Quiz on the Block meets viewers every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
The episode, presented as the "now it becomes visible" special, shone with the cast members' candid confessions. Cognitive psychologist Kim Gyeong-il, who has analyzed Koreans' psychology for 36 years, delivered deep insights, and singer Seo In Young, who returned after a long hiatus, drew attention by sharing a "turning over a new leaf" story in a more mature manner.
Also, the appearance of "the nation's eternal younger sister" Moon Geun-young, who returned healthy after overcoming a rare disease, offered viewers a touching emotion. Moon Geun-young met Yu Jae-seok and Cho Sae-ho and calmly shared her recent condition and the feelings she had never revealed anywhere, earning big applause.
Next week already promises high expectations with the appearance of the veterinarian who captured the "national wolf" Neugoo, pediatrician who doubles as a weekend champion boxer 'doctor boxer' Seo Ryeo-kyung, researchers Ji Hyun-jin and Kim Hyo-chang from the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), and comedian Yang Sang-guk, who has entered a second heyday as the "prince of Gimhae."
