Quiz Show Q (Hangul: 최강연승 퀴즈쇼 Q), also known under the direct translation, Strongest Victor Quiz Show Q, is a South Korean television quiz show broadcast by the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation. It is hosted by comedian Park Myeong-su, singer IU, and host Sun Bom Soo.[1][2]

The letter Q is the 17th letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet and is the second least used letter in the English Language. However, the Quiz Show Q isn't English, so disregard that last sentence.

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]
