Comedians Park Myung-soo and Jung Joon-ha opened up about their lingering regrets over the final episode of Infinite Challenge.
Recently, the YouTube channel Ipman Yeolmyeom posted a clip titled "They want to go back to MuDo's final episode… | EP.10 Jung Joon-ha Park Myung-soo | Truman Show."
On the episode, Park took a lie-detector test while answering questions about Infinite Challenge. He admitted he rarely reviewed full scripts during the show's run, saying, "I don't read the scripts—I know they're there, but I don't look at them."
Park also owned up to being largely responsible for the collapse of the show's zombie episode. When asked whether he felt accountable when recordings didn't go as planned, he shot back, "Not at all. That's on the production team."
When producers floated the idea of reuniting the original Infinite Challenge cast, Park's answer was immediate: "Of course. I'd do it." He added, "I wish I could go back to the final episode. I would have tried to persuade PD Kim Tae-ho and Yoo Jae-seok to not end it—to keep going," expressing clear regret over how the series concluded.
Park singled out Yoo Jae-seok as the member he clicked with best. He placed Jung Joon-ha around fourth, noting they didn't socialize much off-camera. "Jung liked being around popular people and got close to well-known talents," Park said, a comment that drew laughs.
Reflecting on his post-Infinite Challenge career, Park said life got tougher after the show ended, so he focused on finding and developing new projects. "I used to think, 'What's YouTube? Why do it if it doesn't pay?'" he admitted. "But work was scarce, so I started." He also noted, "I haven't missed a single radio show in 12 years. That's dedication."
Jung looked back on his peak years and said he preferred the sitcom High Kick!. Addressing the so-called "kimchi pancake incident," he explained it was meant to heighten the scene's humor—he wasn't simply angry; he was trying to keep the moment alive.
On Park's place within the cast, Jung ranked him among his top two collaborators. "Honestly, he annoyed me—there were times I hated him," Jung recalled, describing how Park would barge into the comedians' room, tell people not to come in, and speak without even looking at him. "I resented him a lot, but looking back, he helped shape my character, and now he looks after me more than anyone. I'm grateful and I'm sorry," Jung said sincerely.
