'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter 'You Quiz') features actress Park Bo-kyung, who confesses to having endured financial hardship during her honeymoon days with Jin Seon-gyu.

The the 19th broadcast of tvN's variety program episode 356 will feature JeonjuYeon (CEO), the first Korean to win the World Barista Championship; comedians Kim Dae-hee and Kim Jun-ho; actress Park Bo-kyung; and chefs Lee Yeon-bok and Yu Bang-nyeong.

JeonjuYeon (CEO), who turned Cafe Hanaro in Busan into a coffee city, will meet Yoo Jae-suk. The tenacious success story of JeonjuYeon (CEO), who became the first Korean World Barista Champion in 2019, will be revealed. Listeners will hear about his intense journey starting as a part-time worker in a small warehouse of just over four pyeong (about 13 square meters) in 2007—a time when even the profession of "barista" was unfamiliar—to growing it into a global top-22 café with annual sales reaching 32 billion won. His various survival strategies during a period of rapid expansion of coffee franchises will also spark interest. The broadcast will include unexpected stories, such as how his café became known as a hidden gem for waffles; his relentless pursuit of coffee origins in Ethiopia and Colombia, involving flights lasting over 30 hours; and even tips on how to enjoy coffee deliciously.

The comedy duo Kim Dae-hee and Kim Jun-ho, who have been performing together for 27 years, will appear together on 'You Quiz'. As founding members of 'Gag Concert', the two created numerous hit segments and catchphrases. Despite their opposite personalities, they will reveal behind-the-scenes stories of nearly three decades of laughter-filled collaboration.

The episode will also cover Kim Dae-hee's daughter who was accepted into medical school, as well as recent updates from Kim Jun-ho, who shared the joyful news of becoming a "soon-to-be father" after filming. In addition, they will share all stories about Busan International Comedy Festival, which they have been involved with for 14 years; their legendary performances that placed them in first or second place for most appearances on 'Gag Concert' (based on the 1st,000th episode); and Kim Dae-hee's surprising anecdotes as part of the last generation to work alongside Yoo Jae-suk on the same segments. The broadcast will also explore Kim Dae-hee's secret to success after entering his second prime with over 2 million subscribers under the nickname "Kkondae Hee"; Kim Jun-ho's unique business ideas, earning him the title "Champion of Starting Businesses"; and an unexpected truth battle surrounding Yoo Jae-suk's kind deeds—all designed to add more laughter.

Just as their nearly 30-year bond is special, viewers will also hear about the two men's extraordinary friendship. In particular, a heartfelt text message Kim Jun-ho sent to Kim Dae-hee, who had to return home early from overseas filming due to his father's critical condition, will be revealed.

At the 2026 Blue Dragon Series Awards, viewers will also hear about actress Park Bo-kyung, who won Best ActressJo Yeon-sang-eul (수상). Four years ago, Park Bo-kyung supported her husband Jin Seon-gyu's appearance on 'You Quiz'; this time, she takes center stage as the main guest, while a surprise interview with Jin Seon-gyu cheering for his wife adds deeper meaning. The two, who met as seniors and juniors at the Korea National University of Arts and nurtured their dreams together in Daehangno, have now both won Blue Dragon trophies after 16 years of marriage, completing their "trophy couple" set. Their award acceptance speech—"Honey~ Starting today, I'm single for one day"—has become a hot topic.

From the story of their honeymoon days when they couldn't even afford to buy a single grain of rice—forcing them to sell his mother's gold necklace—to Jin Seon-gyu's inner turmoil as a provider struggling with feelings of inadequacy amid poverty, and Park Bo-kyung's real-life "max-level life force" wife who protected her husband's dreams no matter the circumstances—all will be revealed. In particular, Park Bo-kyung's journey, who spent 10 years raising two children while her husband shone first, overcoming her career hiatus to return as an actress, is expected to move viewers deeply. The broadcast will also share why she felt a flood of emotions when she first returned to Daehangno after childbirth, and the sincere love of the couple who have supported each other's dreams and served as pillars for one another.

Viewers will also hear about Lee Yeon-bok and Chef Yu Bang-nyeong, 40-year friends who met as rivals on 'Street Restaurant Fighter'. As legends of Korean Chinese cuisine boasting a combined culinary career of 109 years, the two will unfold their similar yet different stories of life in Chinese cooking. The broadcast will reveal sincere accounts of how Lee Yeon-bok, who started delivering food at age 13, and Yu Bang-nyeong, who began working at his relatives' Chinese restaurant in Gongju at age 14, transformed into masters. Their kitchen survival methods that endured through the so-called "era of barbarism," along with legendary anecdotes about Lee Yeon-bok's transformation from "Can Killer" to "Grim Reaper," will also be shared. Additionally, unheard-before behind-the-scenes stories from 'Street Restaurant Fighter' and unexpected chemistry between the two chefs will unfold.

Especially on this broadcast, the sons of the two chefs, who are following in their fathers' footsteps in Chinese cuisine, will appear to share stories about their fathers as seen up close. Furthermore, a revenge match from 'Street Restaurant Fighter' will take place on 'You Quiz', adding more excitement. A legendary Jjajang Big Match will unfold between Lee Yeon-bok's "Yuseul Jjajang" and Yu Bang-nyeong's signature "Osaek Naengjjajang." The broadcast will continue with an unforgettable cooking showdown presented directly by the Chinese cuisine legends, followed by Yoo Jae-suk's explosive mukbang.
