Summary
Infinite Challenge is a South Korean reality-variety television program that aired on MBC from 2005 to 2018, spanning a total of 615 episodes. Originally launched as a short segment titled Reckless Challenge, the show evolved into a full-scale regular program and became one of Korea’s longest-running variety shows.
Led by host Yoo Jae-suk alongside a rotating cast of fixed members, the program featured celebrities taking on a wide range of challenges and missions. Each episode introduced a new theme or project, combining humor, competition, and unscripted interactions.
Rather than following a fixed format, Infinite Challenge continuously reinvented itself through diverse special episodes, including games, chase missions, music projects, and sports-related challenges. This flexible and experimental approach played a significant role in shaping modern Korean variety television.
Over its 13-year run, the program maintained strong popularity and is widely regarded as one of the most influential and representative entertainment shows in Korea.
