The top star made a guest appearance on the recent episode of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," hosted by host Yoo Jae Suk.

Definitely one of the most versatile and not to mention hottest K-drama actors in his 40s, So Ji Sub is best known for his roles in "What Happened in Bali," "I'm Sorry, I Love You," "Oh My Venus" and his latest series "Doctor Lawyer."

From Swimming Competitions to Acting

During his guest appearance, So Ji Sub recalled his funny encounter with "Single's Inferno" host, model, and actress Hong Jin Kyung.

He revealed that actress-host Jung Sun Hee set him up on a blind date with Jin Kyung. However, prior to their date, So Ji Sub was asked who was his ideal type and said English actress Olivia Hussey.

Interestingly, Jung Sun Hee thought he mentioned Olive Oyl, a cartoon character from "Popeye." That is the reason why she introduced So Ji Sub to Hong Jin Kyung.

During the "You Quiz on the Block" broadcast, they reached out to the model-actress as they recalled the blind date.

"I pleaded with her to let me meet you once," Hong Jin Kyung revealed, adding, "I told her not to tell you I was coming."

Jin Kyung also mentioned that she spoke a lot during the blind date but So Ji Sub was very silent at the time.
