[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Yoo Jae-suk empathized as a parent with the words of kindergarten assistant teacher Jang Hyo-in.

On the 13th, the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' aired a special episode for Teacher's Day, featuring hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho meeting with teachers.

In this episode, Jang Hyo-in, who transformed from a KBS public recruitment comedian to a kindergarten assistant teacher, appeared. Jang, who revealed she has been working as a kindergarten assistant teacher for four years, said, "I really miss the comedy stage, but now I work with the mindset that the kindergarten is my stage."

When asked if there is something she often says to the children, she demonstrated by saying, "'If you do that, you'll get hurt~."

In response, Jo Se-ho encouraged, "Try saying that to Jiho (Yoo Jae-suk's son)," to which Yoo Jae-suk replied, "Jiho is in 4th grade. I get hurt because of Jiho."

Jang said, "While doing this job, I developed a dream of becoming a kindergarten principal. I hope it becomes such a joyful place that children think of it as their second home," adding, "There are many children who cry because they don't want to go to kindergarten."

Yoo Jae-suk recalled, "As a parent, the first day of sending your child to kindergarten brings tears. You meet them again after 3 to 4 hours, but you still cry," and continued, "Kindergartens have nap times, right? I received a video of Jiho carrying his own blanket to sleep, and watching it made me feel so touched."

Jang also shared a touching story about Yoo Jae-suk. She said, "During my break, I volunteered for abandoned dogs and called senior Yoo Jae-suk, and he helped me then," expressing, "I am truly grateful."

She added, "I was hesitant to send a text, but he called me within 5 seconds and said, 'Hyo-in, what do you need?'" and said, "It was really reassuring. More than a real older brother."
