Jeong Hyeong-don considered quitting 'Infinite Challenge' due to Park Myung-soo's behavior

Comedian Jeong Hyeong-don has revealed that he once contemplated quitting the popular South Korean variety show 'Infinite Challenge' due to the alleged mistreatment he experienced from castmate Park Myung-soo. Appearing as a guest on Park Myung-soo's YouTube channel, alongside another cast member Jeong Jun-ha, Jeong Hyeong-don shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their time on the show. Jeong Hyeong-don expressed that he felt constantly pressured by Park Myung-soo, recounting an incident where Park allegedly insulted him using derogatory language. "He swore at me like a KBS punk. He was very watchful of me," Jeong stated, adding that if given the chance, he would want to confront Park physically. He further elaborated that the stress from Park Myung-soo was so intense that he considered abandoning the show, especially when filming 'Infinite Challenge' on the same day as another program, 'Sang Sang Plus'. He explained that it was the intervention of the show's producers, including PD (Producer Director) Kim Tae-ho and lead host Yoo Jae-suk, that convinced him to continue. They reportedly pleaded with him to try one more time to appease Park Myung-soo. Jeong suggested that Park harbored reservations about comedians joining the show from different broadcasting stations. Following the recording of the 'Hawasoo' YouTube segment, Jeong Hyeong-don recorded a separate video message. In it, he acknowledged that his remarks might be misconstrued due to the 'expose' concept of the show. He concluded by asking viewers to show affection for Park Myung-soo, indicating a desire to move past the past conflicts.

I am very uncomfortable with talking about these old stories. But at that time, I was too suppressed by Hyung (Park Myung-soo).
