In tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block', the identity of the viewer-recommended participant will be revealed.

The production team of 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kwak Cheong-a and Hong Jin-joo, written by Lee Eon-joo) announced that the number of applicants recommended by viewers exceeded 10,000 as part of an event celebrating the 300th episode. Since the start of the event, it has been reported that more than 10,000 inquiries for applications have poured in, demonstrating the significant power of the representative entertainment program of Korea.

Previously, 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz') noted, "The reason we have been loved until the 300th episode is thanks to the viewers who have consistently cherished and supported us," and called for participants from June 17 to June 20. Since the start of the event, various recommendation posts have been posted online, including self-recommendation certification posts and suggestions for my favorites with various stories, attracting explosive interest with comments like, "A fully prepared participant is waiting" and "Finally, the time has come."

Thanks to the intense interest online, it has also shown unusual progress in its buzz. 'You Quiz' proved its popularity by ranking 3rd in the non-drama category of TV-OTT buzz as of the third week of June, as announced by Good Day Corporation's FUNdex. Captivating attention with an event that could only be held because it's 'You Quiz', anticipation builds around who the gem of a participant recommended by viewers for the 300th episode will be and what special stories will be shared.

Over two weeks, 'You Quiz' is hosting a special 300th episode that opened with insights into the works of the award-winning writer Park Cheon-hyu, who won six Tony Awards for the Korean original musical 'Happy Ending', and the era icon Lee Hyori. The second special episode airing on the 9th will feature the viewer-recommended 'participant', the legendary 'Salon Hwan' participants from seven years ago, the beloved actor Scarlett Johansson, who is also known affectionately as 'Han Soon-yi' in Korea, and Dr. Gong Geun-sik, the legendary lifelong learner who became a space engineer after farming watermelons.

Meanwhile, 'You Quiz', which began airing its first episode in August 2018, is a program that delves into the lives of the great participant Yoo Jae-seok and the lively Cho Sae-ho, sharing candid conversations. Over the past seven years, the program has garnered a total view count exceeding 5.1 billion views (combined from YouTube and Naver TV, as of May 31, 2025) while receiving continuous love from viewers, solidifying its status as a true representative entertainment program.
