After a fun little jingle, the episode shifted to show two Korean men standing side by side wearing formal suits and holding briefcases with serious expressions.

"I'm Yoo Jae-bong!"

"And I'm Choi Soobin! And this is-"

"First Time In Korea, Quiz on the Block~!"

"First Time In Korea, Quiz on the Block~!"

The atmosphere suddenly shifted as the two men jumped up and did fun poses as they completed their silly little intro at full volume.

Since it was so early in the morning, the streets were full of Korean adults and students rushing to work and school.

A couple of them turned to stare before rushing on again.

Unperturbed, Yoo Jae-bong and Choi Soobin squatted down and began discussing with their now dark expressions.

"Ooooh, Jae-bong-ssi, this episode really needs to do well, huh?"

"Yes, Soobin-ssi, otherwise, krrrrk."

The two men froze before making a slicing motion at their necks.

Then, Yoo Jae-bong knelt with his head dramatically in his hands before howling into the air, "No bonus and show cancellation!"

In response, Choi Soobin fell and kicked around like a child.

"My wife will divorce me and take the children!"

"Soobin-ssi? Are you still drunk? What wife? What children? I thought you were single?! Is our friendship a lie? You didn't invite me to your wedding??"

"My wife is the job, and the bonus is the children! Obviously!"

The little scene was edited with lots of dramatic sound effects, comic book-like stickers, and lighting, making it quite surprisingly funny and interesting to watch, especially when compared to American variety shows, which lacked a lot of those effects!

└ Ijbol, what is this?

└ I'm screaming! They're so funny!

└ What is going on? This is my first Korean variety show. Why is it in English?

└ └ Welcome, new viewer! This is a show that quizzes foreigners coming to Korea, and Soobin and Jae-bong are known for this kind of fun tiki-taka. It gets even more intense when the guests arrive.

└ └ └ tiki-taka?

└ └ └ └ back and forth teasing. A Korean staple!

└└└└└└ Ohhh, thank you.

Because of the fun editing and clips being shared, interest grew.

With more people watching the show, sharing the livestream, and even joining the official Korean fan chatrooms, Koreans became confused by the sudden influx of English in the chatbox, while those monitoring the show were perplexed by the sudden surge in viewers.

- What's happening? Why are there so many foreigners?

- Apparently, the guests this time are foreign idols in training? They are pretty popular and have blown up several times. Remember the plastic surgery picture last week? With the red-haired foreigner?

- ooohhh yeah, it's him? He was so handsome, let me tell my friend to come watch! She loves him, but he's not active on social media.

As the chat room got busy, the episode continued as the camera followed Yoo Jae-bong and Choi Soobin walking around while trying to find foreigners to talk to.

They were rebuffed by a few people, and as they sat down to sulk while sipping Americanos to cool down, their conversation was recorded.

"Is my Chuseok bonus really going to fly away? Can we not find handsome foreign guests? The viewers complained that we had too many female foreigners, so we really need a guy to balance things out."

"There are no good, attractive male guests to talk to that will satisfy the Korean viewers. I'm so sad."

"Wait, what about them?"

The camera panned slowly to the side, and the blurry focus suddenly became sharper as it focused on two people.

The editing was such that angelic music was added in the background, along with a halo and golden light covering the bodies, before revealing two handsome boys having a passionate discussion.

The taller one had golden blonde hair tied up in a half ponytail, a handsome face with sparkling blue eyes, and a bright, friendly smile that warmed the heart.

With white sneakers, a navy knitted sweater tied across his broad shoulders, navy pants that showcased the perfectly muscled body without being skintight, and the beat-up guitar case on his back, he looked like the rich and handsome, off-duty, American football player by day who was secretly a musician by night that was often seen in American teenage movies.

Seeing such a handsome man, the chat blew up.

└ The blonde! Please, who is the blonde? What is his name????

└ The shoulders, the waist, the arms! Hello, handsome, please put me in a chokehold!

└└ That's James Jones III, aka Jamie! Please vote for my giant, friendly, country golden retriever, music genius son! He is the kindest, happiest soul you've ever seen!

└└└ bark bark bark bark!

└ I can't believe I'm being seduced by an American-style beauty, but wow, he looks so handsome. He's so big and muscular, but looks so gentle!

└ His smile is so pure like sunshine. I feel all of my sins being cleansed away.

└└ Lucky you. I feel new sins invading my mind and body every time I look at him.

While the chat went feral for Jamie's golden good looks, people focused on the person standing next to him.

The slightly shorter boy next to him had a much leaner figure with curly red hair that glimmered like copper in the sunlight.

Dressed entirely in black, with techwear-style pants, black boots, a black bone sweater, a black bomber jacket, and a fur hat on his backpack, he was a contrasting yet completely eye-catching figure that people couldn't look away from.

Especially when they saw the slightly delicate, pale face with full, pink lips, a small nose, long lashes casting shadows as he looked down at the cards in his slender hands, and slightly pointed ears that had two gleaming blue jewels that matched Jamie's eye color.

Even as he stood there, many people actively stopped to stare at him without him noticing, and naturally, the chat blew up as international and Korean fans alike went crazy for the good looks that fit their taste.

└ Model?

└└ Is he a model?

└└└ Runway model? I saw that sweater on a fashion runway a couple of weeks ago.

└└└└ +1. The outfit cost alone can pay my school fees.

└ That face card is insane.

└ What do I tell my hairdresser to achieve that hairstyle? Do I need to get a perm? It's so perfectly tousled and curly.

└ Visual. He has to be the visual of whatever group he's in. What company is he training at, because I will be supporting!

└└ Do you even know if he can sing or dance?

└└└ Who cares. The visuals are enough to keep me fed.

└ This was the guy at the plastic surgery place, right? What could he possibly be fixing? Look at his face, it's already in the top 1% of faces.

└ Please look up, handsome boy. Let noona see your pretty eyes. I know they have to be beautiful just like you.

└└ LOOK UP!!!

As if he had heard them, the boy looked up from the phone in his hands, his catlike sea-green eyes scrunched up as he looked around before blinking slowly, causing many people to let out an audible gasp.

└ Bada

└ Wow, bada. So pretty

└ Wow, I never thought I would see real-life bada eyes. You're telling me those are not circle lenses?

└└ Excuse me, what does bada mean?

└└└ It means ocean or sea. His eyes. They're so pretty~

└└└└ Thank you for liking my kid. His name is Ariel, but he goes by Ari! And that's his natural eye color! If you like the way he looks now, please vote for him and also come sign this petition to return him to his natural black hair color, where he looks even more handsome! (link attached)

It was the debut of the two most handsome foreigners in the history of Quiz on Block, and both Knetz and foreign viewers began sharing screenshots everywhere.

And all the while, Yoo Jae-bong and Choi Soobin approached the two boys for recruitment, where they had to hide their laughter when they heard a ridiculous conversation.

"Jamie, we can't go visit every entertainment company that gave us a card. It's not a serious invite. They're just trying to fill a quota."

"But I wanna see their recording studios. And we can probably eat a meal at their cafe too. I'm hungry! It's hot."

"We got over 30 cards! 30! Even if we spend an hour in each building, we wouldn't finish touring them all in a single day!"

The red-haired boy waved a fan made from business cards, and the chat blew up once again.

└ Soundwave, Azure, MG, HitMusic, He got the big four and then some…

└└ Did all of the idol companies try to recruit them? Lol

└└└ I mean, wouldn't you? Look at those faces and that body. I would snag it by any means necessary.

└ He's so real about the food. Don't worry, golden retriever puppy. Noona works at an entertainment agency and can let you have the company-provided meal for the day. For you, I will live on Shin Ramen alone. If you sign a trainee contract, I can promise to use my bonus to buy every album you release, so come here. We have snacks.

└└ You're trying to bribe a rich kid with food. His family is country music royalty in America.

As the conversation in the chat continued-

Eventually, Choi Soobin and Yoo Jae-bong interrupted the conversation with their classic question-

"Would the two of you like to play a game?"

Immediately, the atmosphere changed as the red-haired boy became fierce and began looking around suspiciously.

└ why does he look like he's ready to fight?

└└ he became an angry tiger in 0.2 seconds.

└└└ Meanwhile, the giant blonde became the scaredy cat and is trying to hide behind him? What is happening? What kind of relationship is this lol?

└ Why am I scared? He looks like he's going to beat me up!

The following scene then caused the chat to die of laughter as Choi Soobin and Yoo Jae-bong were then accused of everything from murder, clowns, and cursed dolls, and while offering drinks and trying to explain themselves-

"You're a scammer! Jamie, don't take food from strangers. What if it's poisoned? Stop drinking it."

└ Half of the Americano is already gone. It's too late, friend.

└ I guess he was really thirsty!

"Even if it's poisoned, thank you for the drink! It is hot! And don't worry, my older brothers have been feeding me weird things since I was little, so my body will probably be fine."

The poor hosts were accused of being scammers, trying to poison guests, and even thanked for the poison.

As the camera zoomed in on the hosts' sad expressions and added extra stickers and sound effects, the chat erupted in laughter.

└ Poisoning? I want to see what is in his head lol

└ He's so serious about it, too. Not a single smile to be found.

└ Where's his accent from? It's so nice!

└└ He's French!

└ Jamie, please explain what you mean by your older brothers have been feeding you weird things? What do you mean by that????

└ Awww, look at how polite my angel is, unlike the suspicious, rude plastic surgery face next to him. Please stay away from him, Jamie, before you get corrupted.

└└ Laugh like the rest of us, geez

└└ They're clearly best friends, so I don't understand why you're here typing nonsense. Go away!

Choi Soobin and Yoo Jae-bong did everything to convince the suspicious Ari that they weren't running a scam, just an innocent game show, before falling back on their last resort and finally whipping out money.

And immediately-

"I would be honored to be on your show."

└ He did a 180 lol

└ He saw cash and completely did a 180, that's crazy

└ He's so money-hungry.

└ Mr. Krabs, is that you? If not, I found your son!

└ His eyes started twinkling once the money came out lol

└ From 'you're a scammer poisoning my friend' to 'I would be honored'. I'm dying of laughter

└ └ Even if you're dying, chug the ice coffee.

└ └ └ 'But I don't like bitter things :('

└ └ └ └ 'Did I stutter? Chug it. Think of the money and it will become sweet even if it's bitter.' - Ari2025

Moving along, as the two handsome boys began their introduction, Choi Soobin asked a question that several people in the chat had been wondering.

"James, what did you mean by your brothers fed you weird things? We're very curious so can you give us an example?"

"Sure! Ah, let's see, one time when I was younger, maybe around 4 or 5, I was sad because my voice wasn't as deep as my dad's, so John and Joseph, who are the brothers that are directly older than me, fed me a poisonous toad while telling me it would make my voice deeper. Sadly, it didn't work, and the toad died in my stomach." Jamie concluded the story sadly, but the chat began blowing up again.

└ Huh?

└ I have so many questions.

└ A poisonous toad. Aren't all toads poisonous?

└ So his brothers tried to kill him by making him eat poison?

└└ Jamie? What kind of immune system do you have to defeat a poisonous toad at 5 years old?

Not only the chat, but also the two hosts were completely surprised.

"What did your parents do?"

"I didn't even get sick, but when my parents found out, all three of us had to spend the summer doing farm work on my uncle's farm. It was the worst because an evil rooster chased me around every day. Oh, and then another time in high school, I broke my arm in two places playing football with Joseph and John. They didn't want me to tell our parents, but they saw online that if you drink snake wine, it will heal you quickly. But I was too young to drink alcohol, and the snake wine they convinced our other brother Jake to buy wouldn't come in time, so they tried to make rattlesnake sweet tea instead, and we all drank it. It was kind of weird but tasty. Anyway, they got really bad food poisoning and had to be hospitalized for like a week, but I was fine. Afterwards…" Jamie let out a despondent sigh before continuing.

"All of us, including Jake, got punished by spending the summer doing farm work at my uncle's farm. Do you know how hard it is to shovel dung with a broken arm? Really, really hard. I really, really hate farmwork. It's the worst."

└ Jamie sweetie, your brothers are trying to kill you.

└└ Rattlesnake sweet tea? Snake wine? Oh my gosh. Why? How? Why??

└└└ Your conclusion after these traumatic incidents is that you hate farm work? Jamie, you're too good for the world

└ He's so earnest and expressive! Look at how sad he is when he thinks about farm work punishment lol

└└No wonder! In his meet the boys profile, he said he hated farm work a lot lol

└ Look at the judgment on Ari's face. He can't believe what he's hearing (neither can I.)

As the heart-warming (?) moment was coming to an end-

"Junco Athletic clothes and matching shoes are breathable, especially in the heat and humidity of Korea, stylish, and suitable for all your athletic and daily wear needs! They come in five amazing colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple! Get your tracksuits and matching shoes today!"

The first ad break for rainbow-colored tracksuits showed after Jamie's story, and during the break, everyone agreed that this might be one of the most chaotic and interesting Quiz on Block episodes ever.
