Park Myung-soo & Jung Joon-ha Return with Digital Comedy 'HaSuCheoriJang,' Inheriting 'Infinite Challenge' Spirit

A nostalgic echo of the beloved show 'Infinite Challenge' is set to resonate once more.

On the 13th, MBC announced that comedians Park Myung-soo and Jung Joon-ha will be returning with a new digital entertainment show titled 'HaSuCheoriJang' (Wastewater Treatment Plant).

Previously aired as a popular segment on MBC's YouTube channel '5-Minute Snippets,' 'HaSuCheoriJang' is set to embark on a new journey with its own dedicated channel, 'HaWaSu,' premiering this Saturday, the 15th, at 6:25 PM KST. This expansion into a standalone channel signifies the segment's immense popularity and viewer support.

'HaSuCheoriJang' acts as an office comedy, inheriting the universe of 'Infinite Challenge's' popular skit 'Infinite Company.' The show's concept revolves around humorously 'treating' all the trivial worries (下愁) of the world.

Park Myung-soo and Jung Joon-ha will portray a 'boss duo,' welcoming a diverse cast of guest 'new employees.' They plan to tackle realistic concerns of the MZ generation, such as dating, generational gaps, and workplace life, offering 'Infinite Challenge-style solutions' and showcasing their signature witty chemistry.

The production team stated, "'HaSuCheoriJang' is not merely a 'Mudo retro' project, but an experimental endeavor for MBC's entertainment IPs to evolve for the digital age." They added, "While it started with 'Infinite Company,' the rich character base and potential for special episodes within the 'Infinite Challenge' IP allow for expansion into various content. We believe we can consistently deliver exciting content to 'Mudo' fans."

According to MBC's Global IP Production Team, the newly launched YouTube channel 'HaWaSu' has already garnered over 10,000 subscribers even before its first episode premiere, effectively stimulating the nostalgia of the 'Mudo Kids' generation.

'HaSuCheoriJang' is scheduled to be released during the same Saturday evening time slot that 'Infinite Challenge' once occupied, aiming to evoke viewer memories and nostalgia. The first episode airs on June 15th at 6:25 PM KST on the 'HaWaSu' YouTube channel, featuring YouTubers Charles Enter and Junbbang Instructor as the first guests.

Netizens are expressing excitement, commenting things like 'Finally, the Mudo vibe is back!', 'The Ha-Wa-Su duo alone is legendary,' and 'I'm already curious about the next guests,' showing high anticipation for the new content.
