The surprise attack of 'Infinite Challenge,' which has returned after 16 years, is expected to once again provide laughter and emotion through 'What Do You Do When You Play?'
On the 21st, MBC's entertainment show 'What Do You Do When You Play?' (abbreviated as 'WDPW') released preview materials for the 272nd episode airing on the 22nd. Among these, it was revealed that the legendary variety show 'Infinite Challenge - Surprise Attack' that viewers want to see again has been revived after 16 years, which has pleased many.
'Surprise Attack' is a segment that was introduced in 'Infinite Challenge' in 2009, where comedian Park Myung-soo took on the role of 'General Park' and led the format. The members of 'Infinite Challenge' would visit restaurants and carry out missions to achieve target sales through a surprise eating attack.
In particular, 'Surprise Attack' comforted self-employed restaurant owners who were hit hard by the economic downturn. Park Myung-soo also played the role of a self-employed restaurant owner by opening a chicken restaurant. It was a show that provided both laughter and emotion, exerting a significant influence alongside the popularity of 'Infinite Challenge.'
The 'Surprise Attack' being implemented on 'What Do You Do When You Play?' after 16 years will be led by Yoo Jae-suk, who will take on the role of 'Yoo Inspector' instead of Park Myung-soo. By shouting for the appearance of the inspector, the rapid-fire 'Surprise Attack' is aimed at comforting self-employed individuals who are suffering once again due to the economic downturn.
The preview materials, which were released to announce this, drew attention with the commissioning ceremony of 'Yoo Inspector' and the inspector group. It features Yoo Jae-suk proudly declaring 'Surprise Attack' as 'Yoo Inspector.' The morale of the inspector group, armed for the mission, sparks curiosity.
'What Do You Do When You Play?' has been well received for its cheerful depiction of reality, including nostalgia restoration projects and the job experiences of environmental workers. As the outcries of self-employed individuals increase amid the economic recession, the revival of Surprise Attack is also expected to receive positive reviews.
Yoo Jae-suk's shout of 'The time has come' in 'What Do You Do When You Play?' regarding 'Surprise Attack' raises anticipation about how it will resonate with viewers' enduring nostalgia for 'Infinite Challenge,' the excitement of its revival after 16 years, and the positive social impact it may have.
