South Korea is currently in a period of national mourning following the Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 people on December 29, 2024. Various year-end events and entertainment variety shows have been postponed out of respect for the victims' families.
This mourning period has also affected Song Hye Kyo because "You Quiz on the Block" announced the cancellation of the latest episode on January 1, 2025. In fact, this episode was highly anticipated because it brought Hye Kyo as a guest star.
"You Quiz on the Block" will be Hye Kyo's first variety show in 17 years. The actress last appeared on the entertainment program through Olive's "She's Olive - Song Hye-kyo in Paris" which aired in 2007. "You Quiz on the Block" postponed its broadcast to join the mourning of the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster.
It has not been revealed when Hye Kyo's episode will air, but it is likely to be on January 8, 2025. According to the National Fire Agency and other rescue authorities, Jeju Air flight 7C2216 crashed and collided with the outer wall of the runway at Muan International Airport at 9:07 a.m. KST on December 29, 2024.
Of the 181 people on board (175 passengers, 6 crew), 179 died, excluding 2 crew members. Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choi Sang-mok declared a seven-day national mourning period until January 4, 2025.
Previously, the production team of "You Quiz on the Block" presented a clip of a moment between Hye Kyo and the two MCs, Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho . In the clip, Hye Kyo was seen being given a large bouquet of flowers by Se Ho. The “You Quiz on the Block” MC then said, “Everyone says you’re fun, Song Hye Kyo.”
The actress honestly answered, “I’m not completely humorless.” Hye Kyo then shared a past experience where Jae Suk treated her. Jae Suk then praised Hye Kyo by saying, "You've been a star since your debut—1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s."
However, the actress quickly stopped Jae Suk by holding his hand and saying, "Don't." After that, Jae Suk mentioned his wide social circle. "You went out with Kim Hye Soo and ate with Suzy. Your network seems wide," Jae Suk said. However, Hye Kyo jokingly replied, "They're all women."
