Actor Kim Yoon-seok directly addresses the rumors of a falling out with director Na Hong-jin.

In episode 368 of the tvN variety show "You Quiz on the Block" (directed by Kim Ji-young and Heo Kang-seok, written by Lee Eon-ju), airing on the 11th, the special will be themed "Life is History." Actor Kim Yoon-seok, who has delivered powerful performances in numerous films including "Tazza," "The Chaser," and "Hwanghae," will appear as a guest on the episode.

This is Kim Yoon-seok's first appearance on a variety show in his 39-year career. Meeting MC Yoo Jae-suk for the first time, Kim reveals why he named actor Choi Min-sik as his "pursuit of talk," consistently delivering unexpected charm and laughter throughout the program. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from the filming of his upcoming film, "Heavy Snow," along with a variety of anecdotes about his acting career.

From the moment he captivated Chungmuro with his role as Agu in the film "Tazza" at age 40, he shares behind-the-scenes stories about his representative works, "Chaser" and "The Yellow Sea." He opens up about long-held anecdotes, including the backstory behind the iconic line from "Chaser," "Hey, 4885, is that you?," the making of the chase scene that took 40 hours to film, and a clarification regarding rumors of a feud with director Na Hong-jin.

In particular, when Yoo Jae-suk asked Kim Yoon-seok, "Did you go about 40 hours without sleep while filming and then get into a fight with director Na Hong-jin?" Kim firmly replied, "That is incorrect. Someone corrected it," clarifying that the story had been distorted from the facts. In response, Yoo Jae-suk joked, "So why are you only coming out now? You should have stepped in earlier to clear up the misunderstanding," eliciting laughter.

The article also reveals the human side of Kim Yoon-seok hidden behind his charismatic on-screen persona. It shares the story behind his acceptance speech in which he declared, "This is my year," after sweeping seven Best Actor awards in 2008, as well as his bond with Song Kang-ho, a fellow actor of the same age with whom he shared hardships and nurtured his dreams on the theater stage.

The narrative is further enriched by anecdotes ranging from the era when he was beloved for his handsome appearance to a recent incident in which he burst into laughter upon seeing a fan banner that read, "My child, who looks older than I do."

In reality, he has a relaxed personality that seems almost loose and carefree, but he shares anecdotes about living directly in the filming locations to fully realize his on-screen characters, as well as what led him to take on directing with the film "The Youngest."

The individual’s passion for music survival shows, which began with “Superstar K,” also draws attention. The article reveals everything from their deeply emotional reactions to the genre—so intense they bring them to tears—to the singers they personally name as their favorites.

Meanwhile, the broadcast will also feature guests including Kim Yoon-seok, composer Han Su-seong of the national folk song "Daddy, Hang in There," Colonel Bae Sun-young, who became the first female captain of a Dokdo-class vessel in South Korea, and history lecturer Choi Tae-sung, whose cumulative student count reaches 7 million.
