“Yoo Quiz On The Block”’s surprising situation despite having high-quality guest line-up     

tvN’s “Yoo Quiz on the Block,” which aired on Feb 9th, was held as a “Hidden Master Special.” Illustrator keykney, martial art master Jeong Gyeong-gyo, and the last traditional woodlifter Lim Ki-jong appeared as guests on the show. In particular, actor Go Soo, who was rarely seen on TV, also appeared as a special guest, drawing attention.

MC Yoo Jae-seok and Cho Se-ho admired Go Soo’s sculptural appearance, which is worthy of the nickname “Govid.” Yoo Jae-seok revealed a behind-the-scenes story, saying, “I just contacted him for a ‘master special’ without mentioning any movies or dramas promoting, but we were surprised to hear that he would appear.” In the broadcast that day, Go Soo made everyone laugh with his witty talk.

However, despite the appearance of such super-special guests, the 141th episode of “Yoo Quiz,” which had been expected even before the broadcast, recorded a rather disappointing viewer rating of 3.2% (provided by Nielsen Korea).

Yoo Quiz” has been maintaining ratings in the 4-5% range but recently continued to fall to the 3% range since the broadcast on Feb 2nd.

In particular, on Feb 9th, its viewer rating fell due to the short-track speed skating matches at the Beijing Winter Olympics which was aired at the same time. Immediately after the broadcast of “Yoo Quiz,” illustrator keykney also replied, “As long as Chinese athletes don’t push our athletes” to a netizen’s comment that said “I think you guys are pushed down by the Olympics.”
