The national gold medal trio, the legendary quote girl, and actress Han Ga-in heated up tvN‘s ‘You Quiz on the Block’.

On the 282nd episode of ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (abbreviated as ‘You Quiz’), which aired on the 19th, ‘What God Gave Me’, South Korean national short track team members Park Ji-won, Kim Gil-li, and Jang Seong-woo, Yoon Joo-eun, who left the legendary quote 6 years ago, and actress Han Ga-in appeared and shared various stories.

Park Ji-won, Kim Gil-li, and Jang Seong-woo, who swept the medals in the short track events at the ‘2025 Harbin Winter Asian Games’, focused attention on the behind-the-scenes stories about it. In particular, Kim Gil-li drew attention by wearing the golden helmet, which is given only to the world’s number one ranking, during the competition. Park Ji-won, who also holds the golden helmet, confessed the reason she did not wear it, saying, “It felt strangely heavy. You could say it was the weight of the crown.” On the other hand, Kim Gil-li confidently said, “I didn‘t think about it that way. I think I wore it to show that ’I‘m Kim Gil-li,’” making everyone laugh. On this day, Jang Sung-woo revealed the story of how he got the nickname ‘Cleantopia’ from Park Ji-won because of his clean appearance, and Kim Gil-li revealed the story of how she got a shout-out from Kia Tigers player Kim Do-young, whom she had been a fan of.


Yoon Joo-eun, the 9-year-old girl (a unique way of expressing contestants on ‘You Quiz’) who poured out creative quotes in front of a bungeoppang truck 6 years ago, returned now that she is in her second year of middle school. At the time, Yoon Joo-eun, who had left behind quotes such as “God gave me everything without leaving anything out”, and “Love is when you suddenly want to hug someone”, said about her own comments at the time, “Love isn‘t about wanting to hug someone unconditionally. It’s an emotion that you can know without having to show it, but I think I couldn‘t say that”,“ making Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho admire her once again. Especially, Yoon Go-eun, who appeared with her older sister, also burned down the scene with her unique sensibility, saying, ”(In addition to idol goods) I want to have true love“, and ”I want to be an adult who goes with the direction of the world, not the speed of it.“ Yoon Joo-eun, who dreams of becoming a webtoon artist, gave a portrait to the two MCs that day, and Yoo Jae-suk smiled with satisfaction at hearing that she felt like she had a Choo Young-woo vibe.


Han Ga-in revealed the reason why she became a ‘Madam Free’. Above all, she made viewers laugh with her honest and blunt talk that even Yoo Jae-suk acknowledged. Han Ga-in, who has recently shed her mysticism and is showing off her candid charm through the YouTube channel ‘Madam Free Han Ga-in’, said, ”When I was young, I wanted to be a devoted daughter, and when I was a student, I only studied, but then I became a celebrity. After getting married, having children, and raising them, I felt like I wanted to find freedom, albeit late in life,” she said, sharing that she had lived a life without freedom. When Yoo Jae-suk mentioned the video ‘Lee Myung-hwa (Lalal) Makeover’ as memorable content, Han Ga-in also chose it as her favorite video, confessing, “The groom (Yeon Jung-hoon) was terrified, but I felt so free once I was freed from the pressure of having to be pretty. ”


Han Ga-in, who became a topic of conversation by marrying Yeon Jung-hoon at the young age of 24, confessed that she wanted to have a stable family after seeing Yeon Jung-hoon’s harmonious family. She honestly shared that she only came to understand her mother’s sacrifices as a child after becoming a mother of two, and recalled the difficult times she had when she suffered three miscarriages in one year. Han Ga-in said, “There was never a moment without twists and turns. I really fell apart,” he confessed, expressing his special affection for his two children.

Meanwhile, next week’s broadcast will feature Ilta instructor Image and Joo Hye-yeon, Harbin gold medalist and figure skating prince Cha Jun-hwan, Dr. Won Deok-hee and Chairman Kim Jong-il of Toy Hospital, and Professor Ross King, founder of the Korean Village in the United States. .
