Cha Tae-hyun Discusses New Show 'Young Talent Discovery Infinity' Ahead of Premiere

Actor Cha Tae-hyun opens up about his thoughts ahead of the premiere of 'Young Talent Discovery Infinity.' Notably, Cha Tae-hyun, along with his close friend and actor Jo In-sung, established a management company in April last year.

Airing on the 2nd, SBS's 'Young Talent Discovery Infinity' is not just about showcasing children with exceptional talents but also highlighting their present, future, and growth narratives in a generational expansion project.

This season, in particular, will feature both the prodigies who gained attention in the past through 'Young Talent Discovery' and the new generation of prodigies, all in one frame. Joining as the 3MCs are Cha Tae-hyun, Oh My Girl's Mimi, and Mimiminu, who will add warm empathy, delightful reactions, and realistic perspectives. Here are some key points to enjoy the first broadcast even more.

The main highlight of 'Young Talent Discovery Infinity' is undoubtedly the connected growth narratives created by the meeting of past and present prodigies. The show will reveal how children who were once noted for their extraordinary talents have grown over time and what potential the newly emerging prodigies hold.

From the first broadcast, viewers will be captivated by extraordinary prodigies. Kang Jun-kyu, who was a sensation as a robot prodigy in the past, will make a studio appearance to share his recent updates. He has not only been accepted into the Mechanical Engineering program at Oxford University's Keble College but also became the first Korean to receive the full Allison Scholarship, astonishing everyone. He revealed that he scored a perfect score on the Oxford entrance exam, PAT, adding to the shock, while a new math prodigy, ranked in the top 0.1% according to the Wechsler test, also makes an appearance, signaling the arrival of unprecedented prodigies.

Cha Tae-hyun stated, "The point of our program is that being a prodigy is not merely a result of innate talent, and we also get to explore the unique concerns and struggles of these children. It's about capturing the growth narrative of a child beyond just introducing smart kids. Especially, the scenes where former participants have grown significantly and meet new prodigies will be a very interesting viewing point."

'Young Talent Discovery Infinity' premieres at 9 PM today.
