A special episode of ‘I‘m the Best’ will be aired on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’.

The 266th episode of ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (abbreviated as ‘You Quiz’), which will air on the 23rd, will feature Kim Gap-nyeo, the queen of Ilsung Girls‘ High School who started learning Korean in her 80s, Lee Su-ji with a thousand faces, and the legendary group 2NE1 who returned as a full group after 10 years.

According to the production team, 88-year-old high school student Kim Gap-nyeo, who is challenging new learning despite her age, will be appearing on ‘You Quiz’. Kim Gap-nyeo, who learned Hangul in her 80s and is now a high school senior (a unique way of expressing herself on “You Quiz”), shares her journey to prepare for college and unexpected moments that will have you pulling out your hair. Her story of giving up on studying at a young age and working as a maid at an international market and as a servant to support her family despite her weak legs is also drawing attention. The story of how she began studying for the first time, which had been a lifelong regret, and her first letter to her mother, written with care, one character at a time, after learning Hangul after 80 years, will also add to the emotional aftertaste. The story of Kim Gap-nyeo, a late bloomer in her 80s who is happiest when she learns despite a 3-hour round trip, will be revealed on this day.

The meeting with Lee Soo-ji, a treasure of the comedy world who is at her peak with “A Thousand Faces,” is also drawing attention. From singer Psy to the ‘Black and White Chef’ and K-Ajumma, attention is focused on the spectacular lineup of supporting characters of Lee Soo-ji, who is called the ‘Parody Authority’, who can describe every face, and the secret to her parodies with 100% synchronization. You can also learn the secret behind how Lee Soo-ji, who thought she should quit comedy and fell into a slump, was able to enter her ‘Gyong era’, and the story of how she ran straight to see a pediatric cancer patient who found watching her comedy embarrassing. The scene where she danced the popular ‘Ombrinus’ dance with Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho, getting as excited as a ‘Comedian Picnic’, is also expected to bring laughter.


You can also hear the story of the eternal legendary idols 2NE1, who have returned as a complete group for the first time in 10 years. The behind-the-scenes footage of the full group concert, which created unprecedented tension with an incredible audience lineup including Big Bang’s G-Dragon (GD) and Daesung, as well as New Jeans and Joseph (Jo Se-ho), is expected to capture attention. Centered around leader CL, Sandara Park, Park Bom, and Gong Minzy will share their thoughts and secrets on reuniting as a full group after their official hiatus in 2016. Yoo Jae-suk makes everyone laugh by revealing the story of how Sandara Park declared war by saying, “You‘re different from the past when you were a screen for variety shows.”

The behind-the-scenes footage of the trainee days of the 2NE1 members, who have been together since before the creation of YG’s in-house cafeteria, is also interesting. The story of 2NE1 changing the water in the water purifier and cleaning the mirrors in the choreography studio while Big Bang‘s G-Dragon and Taeyang set the meals will be revealed. The numerous achievements of 2NE1, who created numerous hit songs and became the first girl group to hold a world tour, and paved their own path and became icons of their time, will also be highlighted. In addition to 2NE1’s legendary live medley that you can sing along to for every song, the members‘ honest stories of realizing how precious each other is because they missed each other will also leave a lingering impression. You can see the meeting with 2NE1, who made a splendid return to mark their 15th debut anniversary, on that day’s broadcast.

The broadcast will be on the 23rd at 8:45 p.m.
