Jun Jin on Infinity Challenge
Infinity Challenge’s resident crackhead, Noh Hong Chul was especially cracktastic in this episode but I wouldn’t have him any other way.
The Chairman, equipped with creepy stuffed cat straddling his arm, tells the Infinity Challenge guys that he has bonuses ready for one of them. Their are six suitcases, one of them has the $3,000 bonus in it. The first person to go to some bathhouse, retrieve the suitcase and bring it somewhere else will win the money (if theirs is the suitcase with the money in it).
When they get to some station the have to say “I love you, how can your love change?” to someone in sunglasses so that they can get the password for the locked briefcases.
Thus hilarity ensues.
There are some things I notice in this episode:
• Noh Hong Chul swears he’s not Asian but some Arian foreigner. (Bottle blond doesn’t count, Hong Chul). Sometimes, I wonder where they found this guy.
• Jun Jin is such a cutie chasing after the guys and trying to find out where to go. And he’s such a hottie on his motorcycle. (Though still chasing after his hyung.)
• Hyung Dong can not sing for his life. He should not, under any circumstances, be put into a situation where he has to sing. (No karaoke for you!)
• Yoo Jae Suk is either really full of himself or such a sweetheart. I’m on the sweetheart side, he greeted so many people and he was so nice. He knows his role as an MC well, he knows he has to get the people to like him.
There are also some hilarious moments in this episode:
There’s one part in this episode where a girl is having a normal conversation with Noh Hong Chul (well as normal as a conversation with him can be) and the entire time she has her camera phone held up filming him. Awkward.
The best though is when Jun Jin says the “I love you, how can your love change” line to a little girl in sunglasses and she just goes, “I love you too” and kisses him on the cheek. When no code is given to him Jun Jin goes, “That wasn’t it?” with a look of utter confusion and betrayal.
Has anyone else noticed how paranoid a lot of non-celebrity Koreans tend to be on camera? They’re always covering their faces, unlike American’s that are always fervently waving at every camera we pass haha.
This episode is so funny because Jun Jin has no idea what’s going on.
Does anyone else think it’s weird that they’re trying to be incognito-yet they’re followed by camera men?

LOL. have to see that episode.
Omg, I so agree about how non-celebrity koreans are paranoid to be on camera. So weird. wonder why though…

I’ve never fully understood why Koreans are so afraid of showing up on camera. I thought something of it had to do with all the stuff with crazy fans getting revenge on anyone who got close to their “loves,” but I don’t think that’s all of it.

I love Noh Hong Chul! He is so funny and strange like that. But in reality I think he is really smart and a bit laid back. I heard something about him being and interviewer on a news program and everyone freaking out since he wasn’t um… freaking out?
