Comedian Yang Sang-guk expressed his longing for his father.

The episode of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" airing on the 29th features Yo-yo champion Lee Geon-hee, 14, who captivated the world with a single yo-yo; researchers Kim Hyo-chang and Ji Hyun-jin from the Agency for Defense Development (ADD); veterinarian Jin Se-rim, who rescued the wolf named Neukgu; and comedian Yang Sang-guk, who has emerged as a rising star as the "Gimhae Crown Prince."

Lee Geon-hee, the 14th-year-old champion who has captivated the world with a single yo-yo, will appear on "You Quiz." He is set to share the behind-the-scenes story of winning the junior division with the top ranking at the Asia-Pacific Yo-yo Open, which saw participation from 18 countries. Lee's parents will also be present at the event, adding unexpected comedic chemistry that will bring laughter. Lee, who started taking yo-yo lessons at age 11, will reveal how he achieved runner-up at a world competition and became Asia champion within just two years. Viewers will also get to see Lee's innovative performance, boasting over 100 unique techniques. It is reported that Yoo Jae-suk was so impressed by the unparalleled skills that he exclaimed, "This isn't the yo-yo we thought we knew." Additionally, during a special class with Yoo Jae-suk, who is a yo-yo beginner, unexpected crises are expected to unfold, generating more laughter.

As global interest in K-defense continues to surge, the stories of Kim Hyo-chang and Ji Hyun-jin, researchers from the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), who developed the domestic "Cheongung" system, add further intrigue. These two researchers, who have been developing weapon systems for over two decades, will share the story of developing Cheongung-II, known as the "Shield of the Sky," which has gained worldwide attention following the Middle East conflict. They will also discuss the growth trajectory of South Korea's defense industry and the reasons why K-defense is gaining prominence in the global market. Viewers will also hear about the birth of Cheongung-II, which has sparked discussions not only for its overwhelming accuracy but also for its uniquely Korean "god-like performance ratio" and "rocket delivery." The hidden stories of ADD, an organization where only top-tier talent with master's degrees or higher are recruited, will also pique curiosity. The organization's culture, where security is paramount to the extent that job titles are not listed on business cards, along with the daily lives shared by the two researchers, will further engage the audience. In particular, researcher Ji revealed that he has been a military enthusiast since elementary school, showcasing his "perfect alignment of passion and profession." Yoo Jae-suk's "military nerd moment," where he displayed extensive knowledge of K-defense and surprised the two researchers, is also highly anticipated.

The meeting with veterinarian Jin Se-rim, who successfully captured the "national wolf" Neukgu using a tranquilizer dart, is also highly anticipated. The veterinarian, who stepped in to rescue Neukgu because he could not be kept, will appear on "You Quiz." Yoo Jae-suk will bring laughter by referencing the viral image of Neukgu's virtual appearance on "You Quiz," where he remarked, "In the history of South Korea, a wolf has never been this..." Jin Se-rim, who also gained attention as a "master of the tranquilizer dart," will reveal the latest status of Neukgu, who is recovering after nine days of adventure, as well as the behind-the-scenes details of Neukgu's escape that shook the nation. For the first time, viewers will learn the reasons behind Neukgu's escape and the tense process of his capture. In particular, the program will share the dramatic story of a dump truck speeding toward them from behind the road during the capture operation, as well as Jin's admission that he thought Neukgu was dead when he missed the shot with the tranquilizer dart, highlighting how every moment was a critical turning point. Even after the capture, unexpected situations such as the discovery of fishing hooks embedded in Neukgu's body and the response measures taken will add to the tension. All behind-the-scenes details of the nine-day "Neukgu escape" will be revealed for the first time on "You Quiz" in this broadcast.

Comedian Yang Sang-guk, who has entered a second golden age under the title "Gimhae Crown Prince," will also share his story. Yang, who gained attention for his remarkable synchronization with King Charles III of the United Kingdom, will appear dressed as a crown prince, delivering laughter from the very beginning. He will present a special video message to King Charles III, along with performances that blend comedy sketches and talk segments, and a parade of catchphrases that will entertain the audience. In particular, when Yoo Jae-suk remarked, "Naturalness is good," Yang will erupt in indignation, saying, "You put me in this outfit," adding to the laughter. In this broadcast, he will share his feelings about becoming a rising star, as well as open up about his comedic journey filled with twists and turns. He is also set to reveal the hardships of having no fixed programs despite an overwhelming schedule, along with unexpected resolutions.

He will also make a sincere confession about his family matters. He will share the story of his father, a taxi driver, who passed away within a day after contracting COVID-19 while battling a brain infarction four years ago. Recalling the time when, due to the aftermath of the COVID-19 infection, his late father was not even dressed in proper funeral attire, Yang showed tears, saying, "Even on his final journey, my father was wrapped in a plastic bag," conveying a deep sense of sorrow.
