"Peter Pan father" writer Jeon Gyeong-cheol's later story will be revealed.
The 355th episode of tvN "You Quiz on the Block" (directed by Heo Gang-seok, Kim Ji-young; writer Lee Un-ju), which airs on the 12th, is presented as a special titled "Dreams are powerful." From Lee Seon-min, who has emerged as a sure-fire rising star, to director Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon of the film "Odyssey," and writer Jeon Gyeong-cheol, who searched the country for a home for his son with severe autism while battling illness, those who pursued their dreams in their own ways meet Yu Jae-seok and Cho Sae-ho.
First, the story of Lee Seon-min, who rose as a "sure-fire rising star" 10 years after debut, will be revealed. Lee Seon-min, who has recently dominated YouTube algorithms and is active across various content, said he has 10 regular YouTube appearances, but joked, "I'm not a trend, just a small trend," drawing laughter.
He is expected to provoke laughter as he immediately starts sorting out the "trend hierarchy," asking on the spot whether Kwak Beom of the same Metacomedy agency will appear on "You Quiz." In contrast to the image of being the "confident married man," he reveals the surprising detail that he is single and even discloses the unexpected credential of being a 2008 student at Soongsil University, showing a reversal charm.
He also recounts a story that drew attention to his family after appearing on "Hangout With Yoo." In particular, stories about his sisters, who look exactly like him, and how he used his third sister as a cautionary example to focus on studying, raising his rank from 240th in the school to 15th, will be revealed. His first-time-revealed love story during his repeat year and the behind-the-scenes of his acceptance to Soongsil University add to the interest in Lee Seon-min's school days.
The hardships of his unknown years hidden behind the laughter are not to be missed. Having done various part-time jobs from loading and unloading parcels to wearing mascot costumes, driving for others, and DJing at Sinlim pojangmacha, Lee Seon-min recalled that he passed the 2016 SBS open recruitment for comedians but lost his job overnight when "Laughter" was canceled after a year.
Nevertheless, he opens up about the time he quietly endured with the thought, "Won't my timing come at least once?" Even after his income increased significantly, he showed a "savings king" side with ingrained frugality, while also revealing a reversal filial piety story in which he did not spare a generous gift for his parents.
His special connection with Yu Jae-seok also draws attention. From the moment he first met Yu Jae-seok as a staff member at the "Infinite Challenge" expo to the text messages he received from Yu Jae-seok after appearing on "Hangout With Yoo," their connection will be revealed. Viewers can also look forward to seeing Lee Seon-min perform the dances "BAD" and "GOOD BOY" himself, raising expectations.
The appearance of world-renowned director Christopher Nolan and Hollywood actor Matt Damon also draws interest. Through the film "Odyssey," the two will share stories ranging from the epic production process of the work to the special reason they visited Korea and the deep trust they have for each other.
In particular, Nolan's personally pursued behind-the-scenes of his visit to Korea and his exceptional affection for Korean fans will be revealed. Behind-the-scenes of filming on a scale beyond imagination, to the extent that someone said, "It was as hard as shooting seven films simultaneously," will also be unveiled.
Matt Damon recounts the anecdote of being warned by Nolan before filming, "This film will be hard." Along with legendary filming hardship stories that even Anne Hathaway and Zendaya were stunned by, the production process of shooting all scenes on IMAX film up to 640 km for the first time in a commercial film will be revealed. Matt Damon is expected to draw laughter by joking, "I got bills for ruined film every weekend."
There will also be time to glimpse the two men's film careers. The unique directorial philosophy of Nolan, who created numerous works such as "Memento," "The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Interstellar," and "Oppenheimer," and Matt Damon's acting life, who gained worldwide love through the "Bourne" series, will be revealed.
Above all, the "life films" personally chosen by the two will be revealed, arousing curiosity. Nolan said it was "a milestone-like work of his life" and watched it 12 times, and Matt Damon said it was "the decisive reason I fell in love with movies" and watched it 14 times; interest is focused on what the work is.
In particular, Nolan expressed deep trust, saying, "I could not even imagine another Odysseus other than Matt Damon." The heartfelt sentiments exchanged between the world-famous director and actor who met through the common denominator of film are expected to add to the poignancy.
Finally, the later story of "Peter Pan father" writer Jeon Gyeong-cheol, which moved many people's hearts after being revealed on a broadcast in March, will be revealed.
Although his son Jeon Je-won is a sturdy 27-year-old, his mental age is about two years old. Writer Jeon Gyeong-cheol, who raised him alone for more than 20 years, traveled the country to find a place for his son to live even while battling illness. He calmly recounts the moment he had to accept the autism diagnosis after spending a year hopping from hospital to hospital after his son's first birthday, and the 27 years he raised his son alone amid the world's cold stares.
From the story of how he chained the refrigerator with a padlock and waged a daily food war to reduce his son's weight, which rose to 160 kg, to the moments when he felt happiness at his son's small smile, the special life of father and son is expected to deliver deep resonance.
While caring for his mother, who suffered a stroke and dementia, writer Jeon Gyeong-cheol continued his battle with illness and fought once more for his son who would be left alone after his absence. He honestly shares the story of knocking on the doors of more than 1,000 facilities nationwide for over a year to find a place for his son with severe autism to live and the feelings of being pushed to the edge.
After the March broadcast, the later story of how his son's home was miraculously arranged is also revealed. From the father's heavy heart upon facing the long-awaited separation from his son to the special moment when they went camping together for one night for the first time in 27 years, a touching story that moved Yu Jae-seok will be revealed.
