Korean TV Show Goes Viral For Inviting The Most Unexpected Guest

On August 18, it was revealed that one of the world’s most influential figures has confirmed his appearance on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block.

Bill Gates, a world-renowned billionaire and co-founder of Microsoft, is a figure who combines technological innovation and humanity to create sustainable change.

He is also recognized as a leading figure, having led both the digital revolution and innovation in human welfare in this era.

CJ ENM’s Nam Seung Yong, who made this meeting possible, stated, “This program respects the value of all life and promotes human dignity and mutual understanding through the stories of diverse people. We resonated with this because the Gates Foundation’s belief in ‘every life has equal value’ aligns with our program. It is an honor to invite Bill Gates, who connects the world through technology and changes the world through charity.”

However, news of his guest appearance garnered a mixed response from K-Netizens.

• “Ok, but why?”
• “The questions they ask on the show suck.”
• “I thought today was April Fool’s for a minute.”
• “If they’re going for entertainment, then stick to it. If they are going for current affairs, then do your research. The show acts like an entertainment program because they ask random questions that don’t fit the show’s format.”

• “So cool.”
• “OMG.”
• “Wait, Bill Gates?”
• “What is going on?”
• “For real?”

Meanwhile, this episode is set to air sometime in August.
