In a first for 'You Quiz on the Block', Choo Sung-hoon breaks a desk, while Yoo Jae-suk laughs to the point of tears over Kim Dong-hyun's notebook.
The 329th episode of tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block', airing on October 28 at 8:45 PM, features a diverse lineup including gourmet Jo Young-kwon, jjambbong enthusiast Park Ki-seok, renowned Korean language teacher Yoon Hye-jung, sharp-tongued fortune teller Park Sung-joon, and longtime friends and former MMA fighters Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Dong-hyun.
Yoon Hye-jung, a celebrated Korean language teacher who has been a top instructor for 19 consecutive years on EBS, will share her story. Known for her resemblance to Girls' Generation's Yuri, Yoon has amassed over 100 million views and is a 22-year veteran teacher. She will discuss her intense daily life as a top instructor and teacher, and reveal why she turned down a scouting offer worth 100 times her salary.
Yoon will also address the increasing number of 'Korean language dropouts', share tips on improving literacy, and provide practical strategies for the 2027 college entrance exam. Yoo Jae-suk will add to the conversation by sharing his own experience with the Korean language section during his time on 'Infinite Challenge'. Yoon will also discuss the current state of education in Korea and share her thoughts on what needs to be addressed.
The episode will also delve into the stories of Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Dong-hyun, who have transitioned from legendary fighters to beloved entertainers. The duo, who recently showcased their presence on Netflix's 'Physical' series, have popularized phrases like "Don't underestimate the uncle" and "You must be stressed" as part of their new peak in popularity.
As longtime friends and mentor-mentee, Choo and Kim will entertain with their brotherly chemistry and relentless revelations. Notably, Choo made history on 'You Quiz' by breaking a desk instead of a chair, while Kim, known as 'Yoo Jae-suk's laughter button', charmed the set with his quirky personality.
Kim adds humor by revealing that he was shocked to see Choo, known for his meat-heavy 'lion's diet', eating cream bread on YouTube. Choo counters by exposing the differences between Kim's real-life and YouTube personas, leading to a lively talk battle.
The episode will also share nostalgic stories from when the two first met 20 years ago in a Japanese gym, and Choo's philosophy that changed the image of Korean martial arts. Kim will recount his days as an aspiring fighter and his rise to fame after winning 'Physical: Asia', including his appearance on Mongolian news. The episode promises to entertain as Yoo Jae-suk reportedly laughed to tears upon seeing Kim's school-era fighting notebook.
