tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' drew attention with a meaningful plan for 'Teacher's Day'.
In 'Uquiz', which aired on the 14th, the honest stories of Kim Ji-hwon, who teaches children tips on life every morning, and Lee Myung-hak, who returned after 42 years of teaching, were revealed. In addition, Yoo Hyun-jae, a Sogang University newspaper and broadcasting professor, and Park Hae-soo, an actor who peaked acting after 10 years of unknown fame, also appeared.
In particular, the stories of true teachers who think of children first are touching and drawing favorable reviews from viewers. Kim Ji-hwon, a teacher at Hupyeong Elementary School in Chuncheon, who drew attention with 73 million views video that made children and adults cry, said "I felt that words became children's lives depending on what I said. Doesn't the day change depending on how you spend your morning?" he said, explaining how he had a special inquiry time for children.
He, who spread positive energy throughout the broadcast, also had an extraordinary inner situation. Confessing his experience of being bullied in the fifth grade of elementary school, Mr. Kim had a time when he endured alone without knowing how to express his feelings. I think children like me might be struggling, so I tell them how to express their emotions accurately."
Kim Ji-Hwon drew sympathy with realistic and sincere advice on various concerns faced by children, such as how to love them and the courage to refuse. He stressed that adults should first talk about their situation and then add "sorry" when it comes to how to refuse, which is also difficult for adults, and that they should know how to say "Why me?" when it comes to unfair demands. In addition, he said that he gives children praise for motivation and process rather than results, and he was impressed by the stories that touched the child's heart first.
The story of Lee Myung-hak, former principal of Jungdong High School, who ended his 42 years of teaching this year, also resonated deeply. Lee Myung-hak, who served as a professor at Sungkyunkwan University's Department of Academic Education and returned to his alma mater, Middle East High School, and ended his four-year principal's career, lamented the reality of the school raising children as if they were 'bonsai'. In particular, the letter he sent to parents as the principal drew attention by heating up to Mom Cafe in Virginia, the United States. The letter contains stories such as asking me not to wonder how many prestigious universities I went to, but to see what my child is happy to do.
Despite being the principal of Jungdong High School with a high academic enthusiasm 'Gangnam 8th School', his story of criticizing the prevalent 'academicism' in our society drew attention by far. Mr. Lee Myung-hak, who said he aimed to make a happy school even for the last place, said, `Who made the equation that many Seoul National University students go to prestigious high schools. In my opinion, the prestigious high school is a school with many graduates who have a good influence on society, emphasizing that the essence of education is 'human'. He said he wanted to create a school where each talent was encouraged and praised, and he began to give scholarships to other talented students, which were only given to students who were good at studying. His educational outlook, which truly cares about students, added to the afterglow by reflecting on the meaning of 'true teacher' on Teachers' Day.
Yoo Hyun-jae, a professor of newspaper and broadcasting at Sogang University who appeared on the show, drew attention by conveying the adverse effects of indiscriminate fake news, malicious comments, and algorithms on our daily lives. He added: "Media influence is overwhelming, but there is no way to regulate its dysfunction"Fake news is serious these days, but mixed news is the most dangerous. He could not hide his sorrow in the era of `hate business' when hate becomes money, saying, `Because it mixes a little truth and manipulates it to look more real.' When the story of malicious comments came out, Yoo Jae-seok said "I don't think you have to endure malicious comments" and "It's so heartbreaking to think that you have to accept malicious comments for granted" Referring to an anecdote about Yoo Jae-seok participating in a suicide prevention campaign seven to eight years ago, Professor Yoo Hyun-jae confessed, "I remember getting emotional at the time."
I was also able to meet the story of actor Park Hae-soo, who peaked his acting after 10 years of obscurity. As for how he started acting, Park Hae-soo said, `I didn't have a deep meaning in acting. I wandered a bit in high school and traveled a lot by myself." His special relationship with singer and senior Lee Soo-young, who came to promote the theater department at the time, led him to dream of becoming a full-fledged actor. Park Hae-soo, who built his career through 10 years of theater stages, was impressed by the behind-the-scenes story of saving a high school girl with his performance when he was unknown. He became a global box office actor at the age of 37 after meeting his first major film 'Wise Life of Prisoners' by appearing in 'Squid Game' and 'Bad Performance' and 'I never thought I'd be on that screen. There was also a time when I wondered if I could experience that world someday. The effort was crazy. Confessing that he struggled", he reflected on his acting life "Even if it's a little longer, I think there's definitely a time for everyone"
