Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk predicted the lifespan of Jeong Il-yeong (Prof.)'s popularity.

On the 15th episode of the tvN variety program 'You Quiz on the Block', Jeong Il-young, a 65-year-old French professor who has recently emerged as the "senior figure for MZ generations," appeared and showcased his cheerful wit.

That day, Jeong Il-young said about gaining fame as a top-tier French language instructor on Chimmachman's YouTube channel two years ago, "I had never watched YouTube before that. When I went there, it was a live broadcast. Whether it was a live broadcast or not made no big difference to me," eliciting laughter from the audience.

At that time, Jeong Il-young also provided a practical tip for visiting France, saying "Bouton (host) come out!" which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Yoo Jae-suk mentioned his unpredictable talk and pointed out, "If it had been a live broadcast today, we would have been in big trouble. Professor's popularity could have taken a hit."

In response, Jeong Il-young agreed, saying, "It's fine. Heo Kyung-hwan said that. He mentioned that people only watch for one year due to mistakes. I told him to work hard during that time," which drew more laughter.

Meanwhile, regarding the tagline 'Variety monster born from Chimmachman', Jeong Il-young shared about his popularity, saying, "My life has changed. For 63 years, I wondered if this was okay. People used to recognize me as much as a transparent person, but suddenly people in my neighborhood started recognizing me and asking for photos."

To this, Yoo Jae-suk added more laughter by pointing out, "Kyung-hwan said it would last one year, and that's already a long time. The popularity will end before the winter wind blows this year."
