In Episode 352 of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” airing on the 22nd, actor Kim Kang-woo and former national soccer team player Ki Sung-yueng will appear together as brothers-in-law for the first time on the show. The episode will reveal the behind-the-scenes story of their joint appearance—which even their wives didn’t expect—along with the special bond the two have built over the past 13 years.
According to the production team, the episode will feature fascinating stories, including the tale of their first meeting—as brothers-in-law with an 11-year age gap who have also drawn attention for their striking resemblance—as well as a surprising anecdote about Kim Kang-woo, who, despite being a longtime fan of Ki Sung-yueng, initially opposed his marriage. Viewers will also hear the decisive words that helped Ki Sung-yueng secure his in-laws’ permission to marry, as well as the secret to “love-struck” Kim Kang-woo’s support—which helped him reach 1 million YouTube subscribers in just one year. From the behind-the-scenes stories of Ki Sung-yueng—who is eight years younger than his wife, actress Han Hye-jin, and started growing out his hair for her—to his secret for winning over his mother-in-law, the couple’s lighthearted family stories are sure to bring plenty of laughter.
Viewers will also hear candid stories from Ki Sung-yueng, who remains an active player at the age of 38. Amid questions like, “Isn’t it time to retire?” he explains why he continues to play on the field and opens up about his struggles and honest feelings as the team’s senior-most player nearing retirement, stating, “It’s also right to make way for the younger players.” In addition to various behind-the-scenes stories from his time as captain of the national team—including the full story behind the “missing gimbap incident” (?) he experienced with Son Heung-min—he will also share his candid impressions from attending the World Cup in North and Central America, as well as his firm convictions regarding Korean soccer. Kim Kang-woo is also drawing attention by sharing updates on his role as “Kim Chun-chu” in an epic historical drama and revealing the recipe for his “10-Year-Away Juice,” the secret to his youthful appearance.
“You Quiz on the Block” airs Wednesday, the 22nd, at 8:45 p.m.
