Singer-turned-TV personality and regular fixture on “Infinity Challenge” Ha Ha has confessed that he experiences insomnia every night before the day of shooting for the hit show.

On an episode of KBS 2TV’s “Win Win,” the entertainer said that for the past seven years, he tosses and turns on Wednesday night as his body senses that Thursday, recording day for “Infinite Challenge,” was around the corner.

“You know for the viewers, it’s 90 minutes of fun, but for the cast and crew it’s 18 hours of nonstop filming. Wednesday is the night I don’t sleep, and at first I thought it was just me, but other members have confessed they suffer from insomnia the night before,” Ha Ha said.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot of fun filming, but it’s a lot of mental stress to be in character mode for such a long time. And as soon as the camera’s zoomed out on you, it’s a constant battle among the contestants to see who can be the funniest to make it on the screen.”

Meanwhile, “Infinity Challenge” has been off the air for the past 10 weeks as a result of TV networks’ strike which began in late January, with MBC taking the first stand against biased reporting.

At 11:55am on June 10th, Gil put up a picture of the Infinity Challenge “Hwe Shik” for the pop show special. (Hwe Shik, is basically the word for office parties that are held in Korea after work or even events.)

A fan asked where Park Myung Soo was and Gil wrote, “He is right behind G-Dragon. During the Hwe Shik, Park Myung Soo never left G-Dragon’s side.”

Last May when the Infinity Challenge members were making teams, Park Myung Soo was uninterested in anybody else except for G-Dragon.

Netizens commented, “Myung Soo is G-Dragon’s Clown,” “Park Myung Soo must really like G-Dragon,” “Does that mean Myung Soo will choose G-Dragon over Yoo Jae Suk?”

The pop show special for Infinity Challenge will be broadcast on June 18th and June 25th.

Group Big Bang’s Daesung was shown on screen, catching the eyes of the viewers.

MBC “Infinity Challenge” that aired June 11th was a singing contest in West Sea Highway. Park-Myungsoo, a member of Infinity Challenge, was paired up with G-Dragon. Daesung showed on the screen in a place where all Big Bang members were discussing the music concept.

All members of Big Bang, including Daesung, asked Park Myung-soo who was unable to rap to “spontaneously hmm” and had a joyful time.

Daesung was involved in an accident on May 31st in which his car hit a motorcyclist and a taxi and questioned by the police. Since he was cut out completely from another show that he regularly featured in, this appearance of Daesung bought happiness of many fans.

(Parts omitted)

NOTE: This was filmed while Big Bang was in Japan, before the accident happened.
