When asked, “I think ‘Infinite Challenge’ will have a lot of memories,” he recalled and replied, “At that time, it was very difficult for all the staff, all the members, and everyone on the show.” Director Jung said, “Usually it took about a week to shoot and whether or not it would come out for a day or not. I know how much effort I put into one episode because I was by my side.”

Director Jeong said, “Haha sang a congratulatory song while serving in the military, and Ms. Park Myeong-soo took care of the host.

Director Jeong also mentioned the difficulties after leaving Park Myung-soo. He said, “I am over 50 years old.

As for the recent situation, “I took a break for more than a year due to the influence of Corona 19. There were times when I had bad thoughts, but one day I saw the light.” He said, “I decided to make a trot girl group. “He said. He continued, “I hope that those who are having a hard time with Corona 19 will overcome well. I will overcome well and make our singer a success.”
