We also get to hear the story of Professor Han Soon-gu of Yonsei University, an expert in game theory, known for changing lives. He introduces ‘Prisoner’s Dilemma’ and ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors’ as representative theories, with situations where the actions of others determine life or death.

Expect insights into why the ‘ 돌+I Strategy’ is sometimes necessary in life, tips on dating, marriage, and child economic education, along with Han’s admiration for Winnie the Pooh as a role model, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of his daily life as a game theorist. 

The encounter with actor Hyun Bin is also an unmissable highlight. Yoo Jae-seok is unable to hide his excitement as gym member Hyun Bin shows up fully dressed up, saying, “Bin-member, seeing you like this feels different,” while revealing special anecdotes from the gym, drawing interest. Hyun Bin, appearing on a talk show for the first time in 13 years, is expected to share what Son Ye-jin told him about his appearance on ‘You Quiz,’ and his genuine dedication to his role as Ahn Jung-geun in the 300 billion blockbuster ‘Haeolbin,’ where filming took place in a severe cold of minus 40 degrees. The journey from ordinary student Kim Tae-pyung to actor Hyun Bin and his audition story for the movie ‘He Was Cool’ also draw attention.

Viewers will also find the transformation of major hit works. In particular, the current state of the training suit Hyun Bin wore in ‘Secret Garden’ and how his military comrades commented “you smell” during his service adds intrigue. The world-famous love story of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who transformed from friends to lovers, then to a married couple through ‘Crash Landing on You,’ and Hyun Bin’s ‘rookie dad moments,’ which revolve around his child’s schedule, heightens interest. The authentic story of actor Hyun Bin, known as a perfectionist, not only highlights his sincerity towards acting but also his heartfelt messages to his wife Han Ye-jin and their two-year-old son, which is revealed for the first time on the show.
