Broadcaster Yoo Jae-seok revealed his feelings about the end of ‘Infinite Challenge’ after 5 years.

In the MBC entertainment show ‘What do you do when you play?’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Fetch something’), aired on the 25th, Yoo Jae-seok was depicted talking to the production team.

On this day, the production team of ‘What to Play’ met Yoo Jae-seok at a cafe near his house. They released a video of Yoo Jae-seok covering Teen Top’s ‘To You’ with Haha, Kwang-hee, Yoo Byung-jae, and Jo Se-ho, asking, “Isn’t there something you started but couldn’t you finish?”

Yoo Jae-seok was confused, “Where did you get this from?”, but said, “It wasn’t taken for broadcast. Only my close friends know that. It’s been a long time, so it’s fuzzy my memory.”

Then, he explained, “I didn’t do it with a grand goal. I called the children and suggested, ‘Would you like to do something like this?’

He said, “It’s not a meeting with a specific direction, but I thought maybe we could come up with a goal for us to be together.”

Referring to the end of ‘Infinite Challenge’ in 2018, Yoo Jae-seok admitted, “It was a sudden thing for us that ‘Infinite Challenge’ ended. I felt angry and grateful to my colleagues.”

“I practiced dancing hard, but when Yoo Byung-jae got closely involved with Corona 19, (the project) went out,” he said bitterly.

After hearing this, the ‘Nolmu’ production team said, “We will put an end to it.” Afterwards, in the preview video, Yoo Jae-seok became the ‘JS’ representative of ‘Last Processing Enter’ and met the trainees.

Meanwhile, ‘Infinite Challenge’, which starred Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-soo, Jung Jun-ha, Haha, Yang Se-hyeong, and Jo Se-ho, ended in 2018. In addition to them, Jung Hyeong-don, Noh Hong-cheol, Jun Jin, Gil, and Kwang-hee showed their sense of entertainment through ‘Infinite Challenge’.

‘Infinite Challenge’ was loved by viewers, winning the grand prize at the 2015 Korean Broadcasting Awards.
