Comedian Yang Sang-guk Reveals Heartbreaking Family Story on 'You Quiz on the Block'
Comedian Yang Sang-guk has opened up about his hidden family story.

On the 23rd, a preview of the YouTube channel 'You Quiz on the Tube' was released, featuring the upcoming episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' airing on the 29th.

In the episode, Yang Sang-guk appeared with the concept of 'Crown Prince of Gimhae,' leading the atmosphere with his unique situational comedy and wit. His playful reactions during the conversation with Yoo Jae-suk brought laughter to the set.

When asked, “Are you really a crown prince?” he humorously replied, “I am Yang Sang-guk, reborn as the Crown Prince of Gimhae,” and when it was mentioned, “There’s no channel where you don’t appear,” he joked, “They use me once and never again,” adding, “I will be loyal to the director who gives me my first regular program,” filling the set with laughter.

However, the mood shifted when the topic of his father came up. Yang Sang-guk paused before quietly opening up.

He confessed, “It was so painful to see him go wrapped in a plastic bag at the end.”

Though brief, his words carried significant weight. The laughter-filled set quickly turned somber, and the participants were left speechless.

Yang Sang-guk's father passed away in March 2022 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 while battling a stroke. Due to quarantine guidelines at the time, the funeral had to proceed with the body sealed to prevent the spread of infection.

In a past interview, he recalled the situation, saying, “My brother and I went to the funeral wearing protective suits, but it was impossible to touch him even once at the end.” The moment of having to send his father off without a proper farewell left a deep scar.

He also expressed regret over not celebrating his father's 70th birthday, saying, “After he passed, I kept thinking it was because of that,” adding to the sorrow.

Yang Sang-guk's heartfelt confession, hidden behind his cheerful character, left a deep impression even in the short preview. His story will be revealed in the broadcast on the 29th.
