tvN entertainment’You Quiz on the Block’ (hereinafter referred to as’You Quiz’) was also controversial as a performer.
In the’You Quiz’ broadcasted on the 6th, Shin Mo, a college student with experience who simultaneously passed 6 medical schools through an occasional system, appeared.
Shin, who is currently attending Seoul National University’s medical school, said that he was able to apply to six universities at once through an occasional system in high school, and that he has been admitted to all six medical schools. He also reported that he worked hard to manage life records different from others, including 215 hours of medical volunteer work, winning prizes in various competitions such as the Math Olympiad, along with the academic record of third place in the whole school.
Shin showed outstanding aspects by introducing the experience of hanging on for six months for a math problem that could not be solved when he was in school, and having enjoyed studying in the first year of middle school and studying until 5 am. He also explained the schedule of memorizing 3,000 PPT sheets every two weeks at Seoul National University Medical School and taking the exam, and the breathtaking atmosphere in which talents gathered from all over the country compete and study with each other.
On this day, the broadcast of’You Quiz’ could be depicted as containing a unique experience of a medical student who is good at studying, but the problem was raised in that the performer Shin was from Gyeonggi Science High School.
After the broadcast, various online communities and bulletin boards for viewers of’You Quiz’ continued to protest against Shin’s appearance. The netizens say that science high school is a school run by the people’s tax to nurture gifted students in mathematics and science and engineering, so students are limited in medical school applications. He criticized him for being proud. It is pointed out that although it is not illegal, it is actually an entrance examination trick close to an expedient. In addition, criticism poured out on the production crew who recruited the performers without being properly aware of this.
This is not the first time controversy about the quality of the cast of’You Quiz’. In August of last year, she appeared in a popular YouTuber couple, Cargirl-Peter, and was surrounded by various false controversies. At the time, the production crew apologized, saying, “It is an obvious mistake of the production crew to conduct public relations, filming, and broadcasting without being sufficiently aware of the allegations related to the Car-girl couple. We apologize for causing concern to viewers.”
