[You Quiz on the Block] [Infinite Challenge] [I Am a Singer] [Grandpas Over Flowers]…
Broadcast writer Ianju Lee's human travel essay

[You Quiz on the Block] has established itself as Korea's representative talk show by providing great emotion through its affectionate 'human journey'.
This program, which has been loved by viewers, has a hidden hero who has led the show for a long time.
Lee Eun-joo, a screenwriter who is constantly praised by main MC Yoo Jae-suk as “the person he trusts the most.”
Lee Eun-joo, the writer of nationally recognized programs such as [Infinite Challenge], [I am a Singer], and [Grandpas Over Flowers], has published her first book, “People I Met on You Quiz: Everyone is a Drama.”

Since the first broadcast of [You Quiz on the Block] in 2018, Ian Joo has met hundreds of guests off-camera.
As the number of happy stories increased, anecdotes that could not be included in the broadcast also piled up.
Ianju, who felt regretful for the words she had said in passing, carefully searched through her memories and gathered precious stories.
True to his solemn pledge that his writing goal is to “create a program that doesn’t hurt anyone,” his writing is imbued with a warm and considerate perspective.

“I hope this book reaches you today, wherever you are, and that it feels like a warm greeting.
“If you, after reading the book, would like to add a line of your own story, that would be great.”
_In the prologue

Everyone has a great story!
The joys and sorrows of life: the stories of 50 "darlings"

Biologist Choi Jae-cheon, pianist Cho Seong-jin, model Choi So-ra, writer Lee Ji-seon… ‘People I Met on You Quiz’ contains the life stories of 50 guests who willingly shared their joys and sorrows of life.
The writer's additions to the cast's stories, such as sharing stories about pets while watching panda keeper Kang Cheol-won and seeing soccer referee Jeong Dong-sik and his son, reminding him of himself and his father, are filled with empathy, emotion, encouragement, and support.
The affectionate gaze that has been focused on telling the story of the 'beauty of people' during the 20 years of working as a broadcast writer warms the hearts of readers.
The keyword of 'People I Met on You Quiz', which captures the point where the hearts of the storyteller and the listener meet, is definitely the 'good heart' that blooms between people.
As we slowly read through the lives of 50 people, which are the story of the performer 'Jagi-nim', the story of the author Ianju Lee, and the story of us who are reading the book, the subtitle of the book, 'Everyone is a drama', touches us deeply.

“The countless emotions I felt each time I heard each person’s story are all captured in this book.
“I hope you read this book on a day when you need comfort, on a day when you need a warm heart.”
_Big magnet Yoo Jae-suk

A deep human journey that begins where the talk ends
Everything about [You Quiz on the Block], both inside and outside the camera!

The human-filled journey of [You Quiz on the Block] continues in the book.
It continues to be a deep human journey, meticulously capturing the cast's appearance from the writer's perspective, small episodes from filming days, and the cast's life after the broadcast.
Still photos of the talk between the cast and MC are included throughout, allowing you to fully experience the vivid atmosphere of the scene.
It's also fun to hear stories both inside and outside the camera from the person at the center of the program.
Thanks to the rich content including the weekly broadcast schedule, writer diary, filming location introduction, and behind-the-scenes cuts, [You Quiz on the Block] is full of fun to read in book form.
You can read the pages in the order they are presented in the book, or you can start by opening to a section that catches your eye, recalling a particularly memorable guest.
