On 'You Quiz on the Block,' actor Yoo Hae-jin explains the directing styles of directors Jang Hang-jun and Heo Jin-ho.

The 360th episode of tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block' (directed by Kim Ji-young and Heo Kang-seok, written by Lee Eun-ju, hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), airing this afternoon on the 16th, is specially themed "Oh My God." Guests include 10-year traffic reporter Bae Ah-rang, MIT robotics professor Kim Sang-bae (Prof.), who has achieved multiple world firsts, 'Glass-bodied Traveler' Lee Geon-woo, who carries syringes while traveling the world, and actor Yoo Hae-jin, whose films have accumulated the highest number of theatergoers in Korean cinema history.

Yoo Hae-jin returns to 'You Quiz' for the first time in four years. Known as the "50-million-viewer actor" who has appeared in five blockbuster films totaling over 10 million viewers each, including 'The King and the Clown,' 'Veteran,' 'A Taxi Driver,' 'Exhuma,' and 'The Man Living with the King,' Yoo Hae-jin is set to share sincere stories spanning his 30-year acting career. Upon Yoo Hae-jin's appearance, Yoo Jae-suk says, "Let's see," and performs an impression, while Yoo Hae-jin retorts, "Let's see," immediately generating laughter from the start.

Behind-the-scenes stories about winning the Grand Prize in the Film Category at the Baeksang Arts Awards for 'The Man Living with the King' will also be revealed. Yoo Hae-jin is expected to vividly recount his journey from trying to let go of his mindset by saying, "Am I acting just for the award?" when he did not win Best Actor as expected, all the way to the unexpected moment he received the Grand Prize.

Additionally, the narrative of transforming from a 'Bidet Duo' who worked part-time together at a bidet factory 30 years ago with actor Ryu Seung-ryong into a 'Grand Prize Duo' is drawing attention. The program will also continue discussing the movie 'Assassins,' which is set to hit theaters during Chuseok. Interest is further heightened by revealing the contrasting directing styles of director Heo Jin-ho, who constantly asks questions, and director Jang Hang-jun, who always shouts "Okay."

Yoo Hae-jin's 30-year acting career, which began alongside his film career this year, will also be revealed. Having portrayed diverse characters ranging from a clown to a gambler, prosecutor, king, and undertaker across different eras and spaces, he is set to share the secret of how he completed each character in his own way by densely filling out character analysis sheets for every production like blank paper.

In particular, while joking that period dramas are easy with his visual of tearing up a history book, he will also express his serious acting philosophy: "Rather than looking like 'that person,' I want to melt into the scene." Yoo Hae-jin's lively performances, which often include anecdotes from daily life whenever he shares his stories, add more laughter.

It is reported that he kept changing roles every five minutes, presenting realistic impressions of peripheral characters, causing Yoo Jae-suk to burst into laughter repeatedly. Yoo Hae-jin, who enjoys traveling when there are no projects, will also share various travel episodes, including the story of reading a script in a Swiss library. Furthermore, he is set to share sincere stories ranging from his recent feelings of gratitude for small things to his own 'aesthetic of aging' for growing old healthily.

Every day at 57 minutes, the welcome voice that inevitably arrives will be heard again as 10-year traffic reporter Bae Ah-rang meets MC Yoo Jae-suk. Reporter Bae Ah-rang is set to reveal the behind-the-scenes of live broadcasts where every second counts to deliver just one minute of traffic information daily. He will also share the intense efforts hidden behind delivering traffic information every 57 minutes on a three-shift schedule.

The broadcast will also show the vivid scene of monitoring 15 CCTV cameras simultaneously until just before airtime, revising scripts according to updated accident situations, and ending the broadcast at exactly 53 seconds. Yoo Jae-suk is also expected to draw interest by sharing his experience as a traffic reporter during his time on MBC's variety program 'Infinite Challenge.'

Bae Ah-rang's bold wit, who once aimed to be a comedian, adds more laughter. In particular, from imitating the wipers of G-Dragon's car to a medley of cicada sound effects, curiosity arises as to what evaluation Yoo Jae-suk, who almost became a senior, would have given.

The story of Kim Sang-bae (Prof.), the father of existing humanoid technology and a world-renowned robotics professor at MIT, also draws attention.

Currently in charge of overall humanoid development at Meta, Kim Sang-bae (Prof.) is set to unfold his journey until becoming the trend in the robotics industry. Yoo Jae-suk asks Professor Kim if he has ever met Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta, while also showing off a subtle boast by saying, "I recently met Jensen Huang," bringing laughter.

Professor Kim reveals behind-the-scenes stories, stating, "Jumping and running all use my technology," and how he changed the paradigm of robot operation using electric motors, which everyone thought was difficult.

In particular, anecdotes about turning an accident where a robot shattered during experiments into an opportunity rather than a crisis, as well as his response to the question, "Is there no royalty?" are expected to draw interest.

Furthermore, the temperature difference between professors and office workers, where "Just try it" changes to "Don't do it," adds empathy and laughter. In addition, unique childhood stories, behind-the-scenes of being named one of Time magazine's top inventions, and heartfelt advice for young people living in the AI era will all be revealed on this broadcast.

The story of 'Glass-bodied Traveler' Lee Geon-woo, who carries syringes while traveling the world amidst a 24-hour risk of bleeding, also unfolds.

Currently active as a travel YouTuber named 'Glass-bodied Man,' Lee Geon-woo shares his story of challenging himself to travel the world with his life at stake after being diagnosed with hemophilia, a rare disease affecting only 0.01% of the global population around infancy, which can cause bleeding even from minor impacts.

Lee Geon-woo's story of fighting a disease with an average life expectancy of 20 years, thinking of his life as a 'bonus' despite despair, and challenging himself to a new life is expected to resonate deeply.

He will also reveal stories from his childhood when he was unusually active even with glass-like body, the story of how his livelihood became uncertain due to COVID-19 while pursuing his dream of becoming a singer, and the dizzying experience of bleeding all over his body while working at a logistics warehouse.

Furthermore, Lee Geon-woo's unique way of packing luggage, where every moment is a battle against bleeding, the story of being overwhelmed from his first trip, and an episode of being left alone on the Mongolian steppe will also be shared as part of his life-risking travelogue.

Also present at the scene is Lee Geon-woo's wife, who has watched over him since their high school days for 20 years. The special love story of the two, who have been long-time friends, lovers, and spouses watching each other's lives, is expected to add more emotion. The broadcast airs on the 16th at 8:45 p.m.
