‘Infinite Challenge’ veterans reunite on show to air on MBC, Disney+
K-pop icon G-Dragon is set to shine in his first-ever solo entertainment show, “Good Day,” a high-octane variety show with a star-studded guest roster that includes K-pop girl group aespa, actors Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Go-eun as well as celebrity chef Ahn Sung-jae.
G-Dragon takes on the role of a music producer, on a unique project collaborating with well-known figures from across diverse fields to create the song of the year.
The show will explore the creative process, capturing the transformation of personal stories into music in a reality format. The program is reported to have originated from an idea put forward by G-Dragon.
It is slated to offer a dazzling lineup of guests: comedian Jo Se-ho, Big Bang’s Daesung and Taeyang, along with acclaimed actors Kim Go-eun, Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan and Hwang Jung-min. K-pop powerhouses aespa and Seventeen’s BSS subunit are also on board along with chef Ahn Sung-jae, famed for his breakout on Netflix’s “Culinary Class Wars.”
A key highlight of “Good Day” is the reunion between G-Dragon and former cast members of the legendary MBC show “Infinite Challenge.” It is to be helmed by star producer Kim Tae-ho, known for his long-standing collaborations with G-Dragon on “Infinite Challenge,” including memorable appearances in the show’s music competitions and iconic episodes like “Muhan Sangsa.”
“Good Day” marks a return to MBC for Kim after a three-year hiatus, following his departure in January 2022.
The first teaser for “Good Day,” featuring comedian Jung Hyeong-don — another beloved “Infinite Challenge” alum — was released via YouTube on Monday, racking up nearly 470,000 views in a single day.
“Good Day” will premiere on MBC on Feb. 16, with new episodes airing every Sunday at 9:10 p.m. Fans around the world can also catch the series on Disney+.
