Veteran Kang Min-ho and Jo Hyeong-woo, who led the Samsung Lions to victory in the Korea Series, are set to appear on ‘Yoo Quiz on the Block.’

According to a StarNews investigation on the 12th, Kang Min-ho and Jo Hyeong-woo will appear as guests on tvN’s variety show ‘Yoo Quiz on the Block.’

The two were key figures in leading the Samsung Lions to the 2026 KBO Korea Series championship.

Earlier, the Samsung Lions defeated the KT Wiz 12-1 in Game 5 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Korea Series (best-of-seven series) held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 8th, securing the title with a series record of four wins and one loss. This marked their first championship win in 12 years since 2014, as well as their first Korea Series victory since the opening of Daegu Samsung Lions Park.

In particular, Kang Min-ho, the Samsung Lions’ catcher, experienced the thrill of finally securing a Korea Series championship ring after 23 years in professional baseball. Despite not being in optimal condition due to a side injury, he displayed heroic effort and stably led the pitching staff, adding significance to his achievement.

Jo Hyeong-woo secured his seventh career Korea Series championship ring with this victory. He led the team’s lineup by recording five hits in 14 at-bats for a .357 batting average in the Korea Series.

Kang Min-ho and Jo Hyeong-woo are expected to participate in the recording of ‘Yoo Quiz on the Block,’ reflecting on the emotional moments of their championship win and engaging in various conversations with host Yoo Jae-suk. In particular, it is anticipated that Kang Min-ho’s reflections on what he felt at the moment his first-ever Korea Series championship was clinched after playing through injury will be revealed.

The broadcast schedule for the two players’ segments is to be announced later.
