Yoo Jae-suk Reminisces 'Infinite Challenge' Days on 'Hangout with Yoo'

Yoo Jae-suk shared a heartfelt moment as he reminisced about his 'Infinite Challenge' days on the latest episode of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo'.

The episode, aired on the 14th, featured Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Heo Kyung-hwan, Joo Woo-jae, Jung Joon-ha, and Park Myung-soo in the 'Comma, Club - Gangwon-do Lightning' segment.

During the show, Park Myung-soo revealed a snippet from Yoo Jae-suk's past, saying, "There's a video of Yoo Jae-suk in his early 20s circulating on social media, back when he used to smoke." Jung Joon-ha added humor by recalling Park Myung-soo's own smoking habits, which brought laughter to the group.

Yoo Jae-suk introduced an activity, a sponge bobsleigh experience costing 59,000 won. Despite the members' complaints about the additional cost, Yoo Jae-suk persuaded them by saying, "When else will you have such an experience?"

Before the bobsleigh ride, Yoo Jae-suk proposed a time trial competition, with the fastest team winning. Teams were divided by a hand-flipping game, and Jung Joon-ha struggled to find a helmet that fit. A staff member handed him a 2XL helmet, warning, "If this doesn't fit, you can't ride," but fortunately, it did.

The YB team (Heo Kyung-hwan, Haha, Joo Woo-jae) went first. Initially shouting catchphrases, they were soon taken aback by the speed, exclaiming, "Is it really this fast?" Their screams turned to tears, adding to the excitement.

The OB team (Yoo Jae-suk, Park Myung-soo, Jung Joon-ha), who had bobsleigh experience from 'Infinite Challenge', shared a nostalgic moment. Yoo Jae-suk remarked, "It's been so long since the three of us rode together." When Jung Joon-ha expressed fear, Park Myung-soo humorously retorted, "Try being jobless, that's scarier."

Before starting, Park Myung-soo reflected, "It feels like going back in time," recalling the bobsleigh episode from 17 years ago on 'Infinite Challenge'. As they sped down the track, Yoo Jae-suk repeatedly exclaimed, "I'm scared," while Jung Joon-ha and Park Myung-soo clung together to overcome their fear.

After the ride, Park Myung-soo admitted, "It's scarier than before. It reminded me of the past, from Nagano to Pyeongchang," wiping away tears. Yoo Jae-suk also confessed, "I felt a bit emotional," and Jung Joon-ha shared, "When Jae-suk held my hand, it was touching."

In the end, the OB team triumphed with a time of 1 minute 5.79 seconds, defeating the YB team's 1 minute 9.55 seconds.
