Actor Song Kang visits You Quiz on the Block as his first entertainment show after being discharged, delivering a cheerful and candid performance.
Today (26) at 8:45 p.m. on tvN, You Quiz on the Block (directed by Kim Ji-young and Heo Kang-seok, writer Lee Un-ju) episode 357 is presented as an "인생은 오디세이" special. The broadcast that day features actor Song Kang, star chef Sam Kim, Seoul National University classical studies scholar Professor Kim Heon, and the "National Singing Contest"'s viral figure Kim Do-hee, who appears to share a variety of life stories.
The most eye-catching figure is actor Song Kang, appearing on his first entertainment show since discharge. Appearing with a "military-breakless visual," Song Kang reunites happily with Yu Jae-seok, who he previously worked with on the entertainment show Michuri 8-1000, showing perfect chemistry.
Song Kang revealed a surprising military life, saying, "I wanted to minimize the military break so I did a pack a day," and that he read as many as 40 books. He said military service was a turning point in his life, boasting, "I can do four more months," but later revealed an honest behind-the-scenes story that he woke up in a cold sweat after dreaming about reenlisting, which reportedly had the set in stitches.
He also shares updates about his new drama Four Hands, in which he plays a genius pianist, and leaves a video letter for his colleague Lee Junyoung, who recently enlisted. He candidly talks about starting to act because he saw Leonardo DiCaprio's gaze in the movie Titanic, his introverted personality, and his "maximalist" side of buying 100,000 won worth of kitchenware after reading a cookbook but never using any of it.
The touching family story of 27-year veteran star chef Sam Kim is also revealed. Sam Kim chokes up as he confesses the painful past when his mother became credit impaired after taking a loan from a secondary financial institution while he studied in the U.S. and the hardship of having to be kicked out of the house. He delivers warm emotion by recounting the one and only pasta he made for his father when he was undergoing chemotherapy.
With the film The Odyssey 2026 surpassing 7 million viewers, classical studies scholar Professor Kim Heon appears to unpack in-depth behind-the-scenes stories about director Christopher Nolan and the original work Odysseyia, which led to a resurgence of interest in the source material. Kim Do-hee, the "dancing tambourine" who turned the National Singing Contest upside down, is set to bring laughter to living rooms with her flashy tambourine performance, along with revelations that she worked at a large company (LG Chem) and stories from when she aspired to be a comedienne.
