On March 8th, HaHa wrote on his Twitter account, “Ah… I want to film Infinity Challenge. Really…”
Infinity Challenge is known as one of MBC’s representative variety shows, and has been suffering from the MBC labor strike that started on January 30th. As a result, it has not aired a new episode for 5 weeks, and it will not be broadcasting a new episode this week either.
The ‘Infinity Challenge’ members have halted filming new episodes but are reportedly busy as they continue to meet and discuss new ideas for future episodes.
One netizen uploaded a comment that caught HaHa’s attention with a post that read, “My wife and daughter are going crazy from waiting. My 8 year old daughter has been asking why there has been no new episodes of ‘HaHa vs Hongchul‘“, to which HaHa replied, “I am going crazy“.
He continued on a positive note, “I really lost the highlight of my week. It is sad but I will continue to wait it out every day. We have been together for 8 years, so we can overcome this“.
In related news, the MBC Labor Strike will be continuing indefinitely for the time being, resulting in the continued reruns of shows such as Infinity Challenge.
