Only two groups out of the seven were allowed to perform in front of the crowd. The members had the audience cracking up when they chaotically competed against each other in hopes of being chosen as one of the two teams. TV viewers and spectators alike enjoyed watching the shenanigans as the members held talk shows and games between each performance.
The concert took place in Gyeonggi-do where many nearby residents came to cheer the members on.

26 September:
A few days ago, we reported that MBC‘s popular variety show ‘Infinity Challenge‘ provoked a warningfrom the Korea Communications Standards Commission for its ‘improper’ use of language and body humor.
The news drew many complaints and tongue-in-cheek criticism from netizens, and it appears that the ‘Infinity Challenge’ producers feel the same way. In the latest episode of MBC’s flagship variety program, they managed to show their unhappiness at the attempts by inserting several witty captions.
The captions came at the point where cast member Park Myung Soo would try to kick fellow memberJung Hyung Don. The screen froze a second before contact would’ve been made, and an unusually-shaped caption popped up, reading, “maintain proper manners!” The caption was shown twice throughout the episode.
The joke notwithstanding, however, ‘Infinity Challenge’ PD Kim Tae Ho recently said he would “fill the role of someone who will provide wholesome laughs and proper language” as a response to the government warning.

Actor So Ji Sub promises to return to ‘Infinity Challenge’!
On this week’s episode, MBC’s ‘Infinity Challenge’ continued with the second portion of last week’s‘So Ji Sub Returns’.
As if getting his face covered with black ink was not enough, So Ji Sub was seen giving his all during the tube pumping competition wearing the show’s trademark white spandex bodysuit and gold cape.
Unlike his nickname, ‘So Gan Ji’ (‘So’ being his last name, ‘Gan Ji’ meaning charismatic in Japanese), So Ji Sub competed fiercely despite ruining his appearance, which made him even more appealing in the viewers’ eyes.
After losing the air pumping competition in a close race, So Ji Sub expressed his regret and his intention to return with the comment, “What a shame. Please call me back again”.
Yoo Jae Suk, receiving a pinky promise from So Ji Sub, quickly brought a close to the show with the statement, “Although this guy isn’t the type to say things he doesn’t mean, he could change his mind if we keep talking, so we need to end this quickly,” bringing laughter to the viewers.
Viewers commented, “It was nice watching him blend in well with the other members and enjoy himself without any aversion to the situation”, “Rather than looking like a mess, he shined even more”, and “Cha Seung Won, So Ji Sub, Jo In Sung special please!”

On this day, Park Myung Soo held a ‘A Matter of Life and Death – My Ideal Girl Talk Show‘ segment, where true to form, he poured out lots of questions regarding So Ji Sub’s ideal girl.
With his unique, abrupt speech, Park Myung Soo asked, “Have you ever been hit on?, “When you look at a girl, what quality do you look at first? Wealth? Father in-law? The size of the in-law’s apartment?”,and “When was your last relationship?”.
So Ji Sub confessed, “My last relationship was a few years ago“, “When I see a girl I think her first impression is the most important“, and “Out of all the girl groups, I like SECRET the best“.
Then Jung Joon Ha caught So Ji Sub off guard by saying “SECRET’s Zinger once said she liked So Ji Sub“.

Fans received a hint about So Ji Sub’s appearance during a preview in the last episode, when captions read, “Coming soon, summer break special So Ji Sub series. To be released mid-August.”
When asked why the following episode wasn’t a continuation of So Ji Sub’s other episode, producers revealed that Jung Jun Ha was injured with a 7 cm cut and had to be put into an arm cast because he dove incorrectly into the waters. As such, they still had footage they needed to shoot.
Netizens commented, “Will we be able to see his abs again?”, and “I’m so happy we’ll be able to see So Ji Sub’s variety skills again!”
31 July:
According to AGB-Nelson Media Research on July 31st, the viewership percentage for this week’s episode of ‘Infinity Challenge’ was 16.1%, which was 1.7% higher than last week’s broadcast.

Other shows that were broadcast in the same time slot include: SBS’s ‘Star King‘ and KBS 2TV’s ‘Declaration of Freedom Saturday‘, which received viewer ratings of 8.5% and 6.2% respectively.
On this week’s Summer Special episode, So Ji Sub and the cast of ‘Infinity Challenge’ headed to a public swimming pool where they competed against each other in various water games.
22 July:
For those who have seen previous episodes, Noh Hong Chul made a presentation on candidates for their rowing project, which listed So Ji Sub (who was categorized in the top star category).
To bring attention, the comedian threatened him (and many others on the list) by stating, “So Ji Sub recently broke up with his girlfriend… if you are watching this and are angry, come join the rowing project and give an explanation.”
Jung Jun Ha, who is a close friend of the actor’s, also previously promised that he would bring him to the show before the year ends.
Netizens who heard the news were surprised, leaving comments like, “Is he finally coming out to explain?”, “Don’t worry. The secret will be kept by us”, “Jung Jun Ha has amazing friends”, and “Wow.. to see him on a variety show is amazing.”
It has not yet been revealed when the recording will air.

Continuing from their successful wrestling project last year, MBC’s Infinity Challenge introduced their new year-long project on this week’s episode, which was revealed to be professional rowing.
To help the seven members get ready for their upcoming race with professional athletes, a coach namedKim Ji Ho was assigned to them. During their first meet, the members complimented their coach’s physical appearance and compared his looks with Noh Hong Chul, who was previously voted to be the most handsome member by people all over the world. However, it was the latter being humiliated, as he had a much larger head. They also complimented his voice, which Kim Ji Ho responded to with, “My voice sounds like Kang Dong Won’s.”
Viewers were also struck by Kim Ji Ho’s good looks, as many positive comments were left on the show’s forum, such as, “Oh my god… another handsome person on the show…”, “I’m surprised with Noh Hong Chul’s huge head.“, “He is really handsome. Athletes are always the best.”, “His looks and voice are crazy”, and “Now I have a sudden interest in rowing. Yahoo!”
To be able to compete, they will have to go through intense training to try and catch up to the other athletes. Coach Kim Ji Ho, who has already gained much attention from his looks, will be guiding them till the day of their race.
To see where the seven members are in terms of fitness level, the coach tested them on how many chin-ups they were able to do. He revealed that an average professional rower was able to do at the minimum of 16 reps. Unfortunately, Park Myung Soo, Haha, Gil, Jung Joon Ha, and Jung Hyung Don gave huge laughs by pulling a handful to no reps at all. However, Yoo Jae Suk and Noh Hong Chul impressed the coach by performing 17 and 16 reps respectively.
As it is only the start, the members are no where near what their fitness level should be by the time of the actual race. It is quite possible that they could be ripped bodybuilders by the time this is over!

On this week’s episode of MBC’s Infinity Challenge, the members had a competition on who was the mosthandsome. As stated before, the votes had Noh Hong Chul come in first place, with Yoo Jae Suk in second. However, does the nation’s MC really deserve that spot?
27 Maret:
With many of the votes coming from his popularity, Yoo Jae Suk actually has a very disappointing face as stated by plastic surgeons. One plastic surgeon stated, “He has a strong image, however, in a surgeon’s point of view he isn’t very handsome. He has protruding lips and his appearance changes when his glasses are taken off.”
A photo of what the comedian would look like after plastic surgery was then revealed. The result brought a swarm of laughs, as it looked like a complete different person.
So this is the power of plastic surgery!
The votes had to be held on a very massive scale to determine a true winner.
Using unedited, natural photos of the seven members, there were four different voting processes that took place: online votes, live votes, votes by plastic surgeons, and international votes.
In first place was Noh Hong Chul, who received 40.1% of the total votes. Park Myung Soo came in last, which was expected by the other members.
As the winner, Noh Hong Chul will be addressed as “handsome” on the show for a full year.
