Choi Min-sik appeared on tvN's entertainment show 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 14th.

Choi Min-sik warmly greeted MCs Yoo Jae-seok and Jo Se-ho, saying, "As a fan, I am grateful to you for inviting me. I wanted to see you up close. (Jo Se-ho) has been good since 'Ta-chan'. I saw you yesterday as well." At the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards held last year, Yoo Jae-seok expressed his fandom by saying, “I love Minsik.” The two MCs also warmly welcomed Choi Min-sik's appearance.

Choi Min-sik made people laugh by saying about his current situation, "I'm free these days. The movie is coming out soon, so I'll go over there and fly cuckoo." The movie 'Pamyo' starring Choi Min-sik is about to be released. Yoo Jae-seok added with laughter, saying, "It was a term used to refer to talk back in the day. At worst, there were terms like electric fan and things like that." Choi Min-sik responded tactfully, saying, "I'm sorry. I was careless. I'm sending off about 100 or 200 cuckoos."

‘Bamyo’ is Choi Min-sik’s first occult genre film in 35 years since his debut. When asked if he liked scary things, Choi Min-sik made people laugh by confessing, "I don't really like it. I don't like having to pay my money to see scary things for no reason." When asked what genre he prefers, he answered “Melodrama,” adding to the laughter.

Yoo Jae-seok said, “He is famous for building a close relationship with his juniors whenever he works on a project.” In response, Choi Min-sik said, "When the atmosphere is soft, the scene becomes flexible and less tense. I'm the one doing the warm-up. We joke around before we start filming. I think especially for actors who are meeting for the first time, an older person should approach them and lighten the mood." .

Choi Min-sik currently does not have an agency, and Yoo Jae-seok asked Choi Min-sik, "I heard that you still don't have an agency. The filming site is far away, so won't it be difficult?" Choi Min-sik said, "I drive. It's better if the filming site is far away. If I'm filming today, I'm the type of person who went down yesterday. I go down and search for good restaurants and things like that. If I arrive early and there are friends who have finished filming, I call them and have a meal with them there. “He said.

Jo Se-ho asked, “We have to compromise on appearance fees and such, but what do you do?” Choi Min-sik replied, "The appearance fee was fixed. I thought, 'Wow, that's too salty'. I was a little worried, but I met Yoo Jae-seok at a film festival once, and I appeared as a long-time fan of our Se-ho."

Choi Min-sik also congratulated Jo Se-ho on his marriage. Choi Min-sik said, “I heard good news, what words of consolation... try it out,” and made people laugh with a congratulatory comment with a twist. When Jo Se-ho asked, "Can you come to the wedding?" Choi Min-sik said, "I will go if you invite me."

The two MCs asked Choi Min-sik what his normal daily life is like. Choi Min-sik confessed, “It’s really nothing special.” He continued, "I tend to wake up a little early. I always watch the 6 o'clock news." It is said that no matter how late he sleeps, including drinking, he “makes sure to wake up (at 6).” He also said, "I don't catch anything. I don't have any hobbies. I play golf or go fishing (nothing like that)."

Choi Min-sik, who is close to Seok-gyu Han, said, "Did you know that Seok-gyu is a fishing fanatic? He is a living Kang Tae-gong. This is Han Tae-gong. I have liked fishing since I was in school. I went in on a boat and didn't come out for a month. So I followed him. What on earth are you doing? I'm a spy. "Isn't it? I can't catch it very well. I just soak it and (there) it is." He also made people laugh with his clever imitation of Han Seok-gyu's vocal cords. Upon hearing that Han Seok-gyu had not yet appeared on 'You Quiz', Choi Min-sik suggested, "Well, then, let's talk about it." When Yoo Jae-seok smiled and said, "Please tell me about it," Choi Min-sik added, "Is it possible with bare mouth? You shouldn't take it lightly. Think about it seriously." He added, "It has to be visible. There has to be tangible results," adding to the laughter with his witty side.
