Microsoft (MS) founder and world-renowned billionaire Bill Gates will meet domestic viewers through the Korean entertainment program ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
CJ ENM announced on the 18th (Korean time) that Bill Gates will appear on TV ‘You Quiz on the Block’ and that the show will air sometime this month.
Bill Gates is a Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist who works on climate change and poverty eradication through the Gates Foundation and is a globally influential figure. This month, he decided to visit Korea for the first time in three years to expand cooperation with Korean companies and will also appear on domestic broadcast programs.
“You Quiz on the Block,” a talk show hosted by Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho, has previously attracted attention with appearances by Hollywood actors Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, and soccer player Jesse Lingard.
Nam Seung-yong, CJ ENM’s business leader, said, “It is an honor to host Bill Gates, who is connecting the world through technology and changing the world through charity. We saw a parallel between ‘You Quiz on the Block’, which respects the value of all life, and the Gates Foundation’s belief that ‘all human lives have equal value.’
