On tvN 'You Quiz on the Block', diverse stories of the cast will be revealed.
The 292nd episode of 'You Quiz on the Block (directed by Kwak Cheong-a and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo)', airing today (7th) at 8:45 p.m., features Professor Jocelyn Clark, the first foreigner in South Korea to attain a master's degree in gayageum, middle school student Lee Ji-seob, who trains wasps, and superstar Jennie, who just returned from Coachella.
Professor Jocelyn Clark, the first foreigner in South Korea to attain a master's degree in gayageum from Alaska, will appear on 'You Quiz.' As the progenitor of 'the Alaska Cho family,' Jocelyn, fluent in five languages, revealed that she became captivated by the Korean traditional instrument gayageum after learning the Japanese instrument koto and the Chinese instrument guzheng. Starting her gayageum lessons at the National Gugak Center in 1992, she is expected to share her fascinating journey that included living in a boarding house in Sinlimdong thanks to the introduction of Bak Kalin while experiencing contemporary Korean history. Jocelyn may also move viewers with the behind-the-scenes story of her dedication, where she suffered blisters and bleeding to master gayageum playing, culminating in her achievement as a gayageum expert after 15 years of training between Jeonju and Daejeon. The broadcast will also showcase Jocelyn's musical performance and her heartfelt trot rendition, alongside Yu Jae-seok's past visit to Alaska on the episode of 'Infinite Challenge.'
The story of middle school student Lee Ji-seob, who trains wasps, also draws interest. Lee Ji-seob, who gained fame for his video of training wasps that surpassed 34 million views on social media, will have 'Kim Jom-wasp' appearing in the video and will also bring stag beetles, rhinoceros beetles, caterpillars, and frogs to 'You Quiz,' adding to the attention. Lee Ji-seob, who has a unique interest in insects and biology, has been sharing his own biological field guide since the age of 7, leaving a profound impression. He even expresses his fan feelings towards a girl group, stating that he has no other interests except for insects, sparking curiosity about the story behind it. The broadcast will showcase all the stories of Lee Ji-seob, the future of the insect community in Korea.
Global icon Jennie, who colored the world ruby, meets Yu Jae-seok and Cho Sae-ho. Recently returned from successfully completing 'Coachella,' the world's largest music festival, Jennie is set to share behind-the-scenes stories of the legendary performances that she also finds herself revisiting. She will reveal the key to her ability to perform 13 live songs for a solid 50 minutes without changing her outfit, as well as the backstory of her emotional ending comment 'Mom, I love you,' which left both her and her mother in tears. Together with episodes emphasizing hair health that she learned from her mother since childhood, viewers will hear Jennie's honest stories that have never been shared anywhere else. Reports say that even Yu Jae-seok, who shares a long friendship with Jennie, was surprised by her rediscovery, stating, 'I've never heard stories like this before.'
Jennie shares her experiences from her teenage years studying in New Zealand, where she encountered diverse cultures, as well as her six years as a YG trainee, during which she persevered through faith until her debut with BLACKPINK. Although she became part of a K-pop girl group that conquered the world upon debut, the superstar’s personal struggles emerged as she had no time to take care of herself, leading to complete exhaustion. The broadcast will also reveal Jennie’s other side as she is now a legitimate company representative, along with the first-time news of BLACKPINK’s upcoming reuniting activities in July. The spontaneous collaboration between Yu Jae-seok (his alter ego Yu Jennie) and Kim Jennie will pique curiosity. The ‘Like JENNIE’ challenge, featuring Jennie and two of her colleagues in a 360-degree cam version, is expected to heat up the atmosphere.
'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
