[E-Daily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Lee Jun-young bids a final farewell on tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block.”

The 350th episode of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” airing on the 8th, will feature popular science communicator “EXO-Sensei” Lee Seon-ho; singer Park In-hee, known for “Campfire” and “Island Baby”; basketball legend Lee Sang-min, who became a championship-winning coach through a “0% miracle”; and actor Lee Jun-young, who is set to enlist in the military.
The story of rising star Lee Jun-young, who has just 13 days left before enlisting, is also drawing attention. Lee Jun-young, who drove the drama “New Employee Chairman Kang” to soaring ratings by perfectly portraying a 70-year-old chairman trapped in the body of a man in his 20s, appears on “You Quiz” for his final broadcast before enlistment to share his heartfelt story. In particular, he will capture viewers’ attention by revealing the special connection he formed with Yoo Jae-suk when they first met during his trainee days, as well as the moment he vowed, “I want to become an adult like him.” Furthermore, he will add to the intrigue by sharing the secret behind his perfect chemistry with Son Hyun-joo in “New Employee Chairman Kang,” as well as the special efforts he made to overcome his shyness on set despite being a “capital I” (introvert). He also reveals a surprising side of himself that contrasts with his shy personality. He is set to astonish viewers by sharing a story from his past in which he chased a drunk driver for an hour and personally handed the driver over to the police.
The intense journey of Lee Jun-young—dubbed the “Man of a Thousand Faces”—from *I Was Completely Duped* to *Weak Hero Class 2* will also be unveiled. Lee Jun-young, who joined the group U-KISS as an additional member, opens up about everything from the grueling training he endured to keep up with the existing members, to the turning point when he began to find a breakthrough through acting, the struggles of working part-time jobs to make ends meet, and the reason he never gave up despite failing over 100 auditions. In particular, he candidly shares how he was hurt by comments like “Don’t cause trouble—just go home” amid the prejudiced views he faced when he first ventured from being an idol to an actor. Viewers will also hear about Lee Jun-young’s moments as a dutiful son—described as “a son as precious as gold”—as well as his honest feelings ahead of his military enlistment. Lee Jun-young describes his mixed emotions as “feeling like I’m on a roller coaster,” while also bringing laughter with his candid banter that naturally leads into the topic of military service. The broadcast will feature his final, all-out dance performance before enlistment, as well as insider tips shared by actor Song Kang, who has already completed his military service.
Meanwhile, Lee Jun-young is set to enlist in the military on the 21st. Through his social media, he shared his thoughts, saying, “I’ll serve my time healthily and true to myself,” and added, “Until the day I greet you all again, I sincerely hope you all stay healthy and spend happy and meaningful times in your own lives.”
