After nearly two years away from the screen, Kim Ji Won is stepping back into the spotlight — and she’s starting with a chat show appearance. On September 16, JTBC Entertainment News reported that Kim Ji Won would be joining the recording of tvN’s popular variety show “You Quiz on the Block.”

Kim Ji Won on “You Quiz on the Block”: Overview

A Comeback Two Years in the Making

Kim Ji Won’s appearance comes at a significant moment in her career. It marks her first major project since “Queen of Tears,” the hit drama that captivated audiences roughly two years ago. Her upcoming return comes via the medical noir drama “Doctor X,” premiering October 9 at 9:50 PM KST, where she plays a brilliant and mysterious surgeon.

Given how anticipated her return is, it makes sense that her team would line up a talk-show appearance to build buzz ahead of the premiere. “You Quiz on the Block,” known for its mix of humor and heartfelt interviews with a wide range of guests, has become one of Korea’s go-to platforms for actors promoting major upcoming projects — a format not unlike the celebrity talk shows popularized across variety television worldwide.
