Although the exact date of Eilish’s appearance on You Quiz on the Block has not been disclosed, the anticipation among fans is palpable. Her participation in the show is expected to draw significant attention, given her status as a global music icon and her dedicated fanbase in South Korea.
You Quiz on the Block has a reputation for featuring a diverse array of guests from various walks of life, primarily from the South Korean entertainment industry. However, the show’s scope has been expanding, bringing in international stars such as Zendaya and Chalamet, who promoted their film Dune: Part Two on the show in February. Eilish’s appearance marks another significant milestone in this trend.
An industry insider revealed to Sports Chosun that Eilish’s decision to appear on the show aligns with her promotional activities for her recent album. The singer, who has already made waves with her third studio album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, continues to engage with her audience through various platforms. Tracks like “Blue” and “LUNCH” from the album have been particularly popular on social media, adding to the excitement surrounding her promotional tour.
This isn’t Eilish’s first engagement with South Korean fans. She previously performed a concert at the Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul in August 2022, four years after her debut performance in the country in 2018. Her upcoming appearance on You Quiz on the Block will further solidify her connection with her South Korean fanbase.
