In the upcoming episode of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” a special New Year edition will be aired.
Set to broadcast at 8:45 PM today (the 8th), the 275th episode of “You Quiz on the Block” features guest appearances by Antarctic Sejong Science Base winter researcher Min Jun-hong, who studies in extreme environments, and actress Song Hye-kyo, who is making her talk show appearance for the first time in 23 years.
The show welcomes back the 37th winter team from Antarctic Sejong Science Base, who have completed a year-long mission 17,250 km away from Seoul. Min Jun-hong and his colleagues will share their journey that took a week to reach Antarctica, along with their daily routines on the opposite side of the globe. They will reveal special survival training methods necessary to endure the harsh weather, with wind chill temperatures dropping to minus 35 degrees, and discuss their groundbreaking research achievements related to Antarctic glaciers. The narrative will delve into the passionate stories of these dedicated members working in extreme and dangerous conditions. Spectacular views of the continent, tales of penguins and whales, and unique delicacies only available in Antarctica will all be part of the captivating stories to watch during the broadcast.
Actress Song Hye-kyo, a top star for 28 years, will reunite with Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho. Despite her nerves about appearing on a talk show after 23 years, her hidden comedic side and smooth conversation earn her the nickname “Song-jikjin.” She will share nostalgic anecdotes, like a memorable episode when Yoo Jae-suk treated her in the past, and stories about her school days when she was known as a popular figure alongside Fin.K.L member Lee Jin. She will also open up about her well-known connections in the entertainment industry, sharing secrets about how she became friends with stars like Kim Hye-soo and Suzy. Additionally, a surprise marriage gift for first-time guest Jo Se-ho and heartwarming stories of kind gestures towards the “You Quiz” staff will capture audience interest.
Song Hye-kyo’s candid story, from debuting at the age of 17 after winning a school uniform pageant to maintaining top-tier popularity for 28 years, will also be featured. She reflects on new turning points in her acting career through her 20s, 30s, and 40s, and will share behind-the-scenes stories of hit projects like the sitcom “Soonpoong Clinic,” “Autumn in My Heart,” “All In,” and “The Glory.”
Particularly noteworthy is her honest confession about struggling with gossip and false rumors, shedding light on her genuine feelings. She will share insights about a ‘5-year training’ that shaped the current Song Hye-kyo. Yoo Jae-suk praises her talk as captivating, promising a deeper look into Song Hye-kyo as a woman, a human being, and an actress not heard elsewhere. These stories will be unveiled in the upcoming broadcast.
