However, the episode was criticized by viewers right after the broadcast. It is wrong to introduce a case in which a student from a science high school, established for the purpose of cultivating scientific professionals, entered medical school. In particular, Gyeonggi Science High School currently prohibits admission to medical science, dentistry, oriental medicine, and pharmacy, and criticism has grown even more.

Accordingly, the production crew of’You Quiz’ said, “I apologized to viewers by the ignorance of the production crew. I sincerely apologize.” He said, “I will remember my initial mindset of making a broadcast that keeps pace with the trends of the times and breathes with the emotions of viewers.”

Below is the official statement of the crew of’You Quiz’.

Good morning. This is the crew of’You Quiz on the Block’.

The last broadcast,’Damda’ special feature, was designed to convey how each person has lived with something valuable in their lives.

We were very disappointed to the viewers due to 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 for the viewers as well as 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 the common 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.
