The MCs of variety shows such as Infinity Challenge, Family Outing, 1 Night 2 Days, Yashimmanmman, Golden Fishery and Happy Together have been enjoying great popularity for 2008. The PDs and writers of the variety shows have commented, "Although it's important who these people are, but it's more crucial who these people are grouped with."
Since Haha left Infinity Challenge to enlist for military service, the production team had been troubled by the problem of searching for the 7th member. One staff member said, "At that time before we decided on Junjin, we spent a lot of effort on the selection process. We wanted to have a rotation of the guest members, such as other Shinhwa members and comedians like Kim Hyun Chul, Kim Shin Young, in order to find the best combination."
After several rounds of trial and error, Junjin (later known as Junstin) became the new member. But it wasn't easy to keep Junstin as a fixed member. With a reputation for having poor athletic skills and being the below-average representatives of Korea, the other IC members lagged far behind Junjin, who hailed from the idol group Shinhwa, in terms of appearance and physical prowess. Junstin seemed to stand out too much, and there were many negative comments from netizens.
Though Junstin was picked out for not being as funny as the other members on the show, soon it was apparent that by comparing the other members to the handsome and fit Junjin, that's another kind of comedic effect by itself. Eventually, this Infinity Challenge grouping worked.
Infinity Challenge = 98% inferior man + 2% perfect man
The ratings for Infinity Challenge have stayed within the top few for last year and this year, but the fans' support is also critical for the show to establish its foothold.
With the inclusion of Junjin, the new IC group has now been classified into the low-performing class and the top-performing class and this has created an interesting rivalry. Even the perfect Junjin has times of failure too, demonstrating that inferior guys are capable of defeating the perfect man too.
