Yoo Jae Suk turned emotional while filming "You Quiz on The Block." He listened to the story of his guest who's working hard amidst the coronavirus outbreak.

tvN's variety show "You Quiz on The Block" is currently on its third season, hosted by Jo Se Ho and Yoo Jae Suk. One March 11, the show featured a live video telecast wherein a nurse was working in one of the hospitals in Daegu, South Korea. The guest nurse, Jung Dae Rye, worked hard in one of the highest cases of COVID-19 patients.

On the set of the interview, the nurse shared they are providing non-stop service to the patients. She understands that it is already out of control and the country needs her help. She also mentioned that until now, as she works in the hospital, she has not seen her family yet.

The guest nurse felt sad at first because her family wanted her not to work, but she explained to her family that her profession is to help and save lives, that her country needs her and she never regrets joining the force.

In the middle of the discussion, host Yoo Jae Suk's voice already shattered while talking. His eyes red and tears fell on his cheeks. The nurse told Yoo Jae Suk that she is fine and although she misses her family, she will continue to work hard.

The whole crew of the show was not able to contain the scene and cried along with Yoo Jae Suk. Everyone got carried away by how the conversation transpired. The nurse never showed any sadness and smiled always in the video. Host Yoo Jae Suk praised nurse Jung Dae Rye's strong heart. He mentioned that he is very thankful to all the hospital staff who are helping South Korea beat coronavirus.

At present, South Korea's number of cases decreased after the government made a huge nationwide testing. According to the reports of KCDC, the government pushed 250,000 tests last Friday. The government made a massive approach in conducting test measures to all people even if they don't have any symptoms. They also set checkpoints around the Daegu area to test cars passing by. The numbers slowed down from the past death tolls that they had since the outbreak hit Daegu.

Joo Jae Suk's tears of sadness drew more than 1.5 million views. The director and the crew did not expect it and nor did the viewers.
