The production crew of tvN’You Quiz on the Block’ (hereinafter referred to as’You Quiz’) recently apologized for the controversy by recruiting a medical student from a science high school in a special feature of’Contain’.

On the 11th, the production crew of’You Quiz’ posted an article on the official Instagram on the 11th, saying, “The special feature of You-Quiz, which was the last broadcast, was planned to convey how each person has lived with something valuable in their lives.” He then apologized, saying, “We apologize for this and sincerely apologize for this,” saying, “We were very disappointed to the viewers by the ignorance of the production crew while dealing with the story.”

The production crew said, “So far, the production crew of’You Quiz’ has felt great pride and a sense of accomplishment in producing a broadcast that remains a valuable memory for the performers as well as content that is sympathetic and comforting to the viewers.” “We are sorry to leave a bad memory for the performers who made up their minds, and our production crew looked back and reflected on many things this time,” he added.

In addition, the production crew said, “From the summer of 2018 to the winter of 2021, I felt indescribable happiness by containing the great history of ordinary people so that the ten seasons change.” “I will come closer to better content, reminiscent of my initial mindset to make a broadcast that breathes with me.” In addition, he concluded the position by saying, “Thank you for sending us valuable criticisms so that we can grow.”

On the other hand, the controversy of’You Quiz’ originated from the broadcast on the 6th when the production team invited A, a medical student from Gyeonggi Science High School, as a guest. A is currently a student in the 4th grade of the main department, and he confessed that he has simultaneously passed 6 medical schools, including Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Hanyang University, Kyunghee University. He also revealed the importance of external activities, such as medical service for doctors’ careers, by revealing a dense living record book, and also explained how to become suitable personnel for medical school. In addition, it also revealed that all six of them have applied for medical school from time to time.

After the broadcast, criticism was raised in various online communities that it was inappropriate for the production crew of’You Quiz’ to recruit Mr. A. Although individual freedom to choose a career path, there have been continued concerns about the part of science high school graduates going to medical school. This is because science high schools also provide educational expenses to nurture pure science gifted students. Accordingly, some pointed out that’You Quiz’ was not cautious about the appearance of Mr. A as a guest. Unlike the steps that’You Quiz’ has communicated with ordinary neighbors so far, many viewers also showed disappointment in that it further emphasized specs, meritism, and materialism.

Below is the full text of the position of the production staff of’You Quiz on the Block’.

Good morning. This is the crew of U Quiz On The Block.

The last broadcast, You Quiz’Contain’, was designed to convey how each person has lived with something valuable in their lives.

We were very disappointed to the viewers with the ignorance of the production crew while dealing with the story. We sincerely apologize for this.

Until now, You Quiz’s production crew has felt great pride and a sense of accomplishment in producing a broadcast that is a content that empathizes and comforts the viewers and remains a valuable memory for the performers.

That is why I am sorry that this event will leave a bad memory not only for the viewers but also for the performers who decided to appear with difficulty. This time, our production crew looked back and reflected on many things.

From the summer of 2018 to the winter of 2021, I felt indescribable happiness with the great history of ordinary people with ten different seasons. In the future, we will continue to reflect on our initial mindset to create a broadcast that keeps pace with the trend of the times and breathes with the emotions of viewers, and we will approach with better content.

Thank you for sending us your valuable criticism so we can grow.
