History

The show began its debut on August 19, 2012.[2]

In December 2012, Quiz Show Q was announced to be cancelled alongside several other MBC shows due to changes in time slot availability. It was also noted in the announcement that the show had received low ratings. The show was broadcast until February 2013.[3] It was later reported that neither Park Myeong-su nor IU's agency's were aware of the cancellation.[4]

Format

The show features ten teams of ten members who compete amongst one another. Once a team is victorious, the members of this winning team will compete amongst each other until there is a single winner within the team. This single winner will then compete against the winner of the previous show to determine who will be the final winner for a given show. If one contestant can win seven shows in a row, they will earn 300 million South Korean won, which is the largest amount to be given out for a South Korean Quiz show at the time of the show's debut.[2]

gollark: So not 350 million.
gollark: It was New Zealand, not the US, IIRC.
gollark: I do not see how taking away free speech stops those, or is a remotely appropriate reaction.
gollark: It's kind of incoherent to say "free speech is bad" and also "I should be allowed free speech" at the same time.
gollark: I mean, you are DEFINITELY more free to say things than in North Korea or China.
