Yoo Jae-suk's 'You Quiz on the Block' Tops Its Time Slot With 4.5% Peak Rating

tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," hosted by TV personality Yoo Jae-suk, keeps posting steady results in both ratings and online buzz. The long-running talk show's 367th episode, which aired on Nov. 4, came in first in its time slot.

According to Nielsen Korea, the episode peaked at 4.5% of households nationwide and 4.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, based on pay-TV platforms. It ranked No. 1 in its time slot in both regions, counting cable and general programming channels. It also placed No. 1 in its time slot among male and female viewers ages 20 to 49, tvN's main target audience.

The show is holding up online as well. Good Data Corporation's FUNdex tracks how much people are talking about TV and streaming shows. In its non-drama ranking for the fifth week of October, "You Quiz on the Block" placed No. 3.

Episode 367 ran as a special titled "Real Recognizes Real." Dancer J Black, Chinese cuisine chef Jung Ji-sun and singer and musical actress Ivy appeared as guests. Each talked about the hard times they faced in their fields and how they got through them.

J Black created the intro choreography for "NEON" by A2O LITE. He spoke about the attention that has come his way lately.

"It feels like I've become a rookie," he said. "I think I found a new position for myself as a choreographer, not a dancer."

He showed his affection for Aijjing and Xili, who performed the choreography, saying they are "like daughters" to him. He also named BTS's J-Hope and OH MY GIRL's Mimi as idols who caught his eye.

Jung Ji-sun, now in her 24th year as a Chinese cuisine chef, opened up about the discrimination and bias she faced as a woman. She started out at 22 as the youngest staffer at a Chinese restaurant. She said people brushed her off because she was a female chef. To keep from being looked down on, she began wearing thick eyeliner.

Ivy walked viewers through her path to Broadway, where she became the first Korean to take the stage through the musical "Chicago." She said the offer came in her mid-40s, during a period when she was feeling depressed. To take on the new challenge, she started by studying English.

The preview for the next episode, shown at the end of the broadcast, teased three more guests. They include Han Su-seong, the composer of "Cheer Up, Dad" (Appa Himnaeseyo), and Capt. Bae Seon-young, the first female commander of the navy ship Dokdo. Actor Kim Yoon-seok also appears, making his first variety show appearance 39 years after his debut.

"You Quiz on the Block" airs weekly at 8:45 p.m. KST.
