[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” will air a special episode titled “The Best Moments of Our Lives.”
The episode of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” airing on the 7th will feature the women’s national basketball team, which claimed the Asian Games title for the first time in 12 years; Hwang Seo-hyun, the “Little Giant of Artistic Gymnastics,” who won a gold medal on the balance beam for the first time in 40 years; super rookie Ha Hyun-seung, known as the “Busan High School Ohtani”; and actress Kim Ji-won. Ha Hyun-seung, known as the “Busan High School Ohtani,” was the key player who led South Korea to its first championship in eight years by pitching a complete-game shutout with 8 strikeouts over 7 innings in the Korea-Japan final of this year’s U-18 Baseball Championship. He is set to share colorful behind-the-scenes stories from the tournament, starting with the moment he secured that valuable victory against baseball powerhouse Japan. In particular, Ha Hyun-seung, who boasts an impressive 195 cm frame, is said to immediately capture viewers’ attention with his striking height difference compared to Yoo Jae-suk as soon as he appears on set. Viewers will also hear Ha Hyun-seung’s unique reflections and aspirations after being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the KBO Rookie Draft by the Kiwoom Heroes. He is set to share the reasons behind his decision last June to choose the KBO over a 4 billion won offer from the New York Yankees—one of Major League Baseball’s most prestigious teams—as well as candid insights into his signing bonus, a topic of intense interest in the baseball world. The story of how he grew into a promising prospect in Korean baseball, thanks to the exceptional athletic genes he inherited from his parents—both former national track and field athletes—will also be revealed. He’ll share stories ranging from his childhood, when he took up track and field because of kimbap, to the moment he first nurtured his dream of becoming a baseball player at Busan Sajik Stadium, as well as the relentless effort that earned him the nickname “Busan High School’s Ohtani” while excelling as both a pitcher and a hitter. In addition, the program will feature a series of intriguing stories, ranging from his efforts to build his physique with his parents’ steadfast support, to an anecdote about his mother tricking him into drinking frog broth by passing it off as eel broth, and the advice he received from his hometown senior, Lee Dae-ho. The show will also reveal the candid charm of Ha Hyun-seung—a “super ace” on the baseball field but a typical 19-year-old in everyday life. From his unexpected taste in romance dramas to his innocent confession that “baseball is my first love,” the episode will cover aspects of Ha Hyun-seung that viewers have rarely seen before. Meanwhile, “You Quiz on the Block” is a variety show that follows host Yoo Jae-suk and his guests on a journey through the lives of others. It has been generating buzz with every episode, featuring a diverse lineup of guests ranging from Korean stars like IU, BTS, G-Dragon, Son Ye-jin, Song Hye-kyo, Kim Hye-ja, and Yoon Yeo-jeong to international celebrities such as Jensen Huang, director Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, Timothée Chalamet, and Zendaya. It airs every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
