On the 15th, a video titled 'The Summit of Two Korean Entertainment Masters' was posted on the YouTube channel 'channel fullmoon'.
Producer Kim Tae-ho thought about quitting a few times before he started "Infinite Challenge". He confessed that he was unfit for his aptitude. Producer Kim Tae-ho said, 'Up until then, I saw the days when the PD was a loud person in the field and a good person in society, so I thought it was not suitable for me.' Producer Na Young-seok strongly sympathized.
Producer Kim Tae-ho said, "I still pray when I cast him. I'm used to it, but I don't think it's a job that suits my basic personality."I also wrote an essay for a fashion school business course in the United States because it didn't fit my personality. It was Christmas when I was 30. It was time to do the great challenge in the `One Night' before `Infinite Challenge`. At that time, there was one director and one supporting actor, so the supporting actor edited all week. One day, I had a severe migraine, so I went to the emergency room and got a spinal fluid because of meningitis. Up until then, 'This is a big problem. I shouldn't be hospitalized. I just thought, 'I have to finish editing by tomorrow.'"

Producer Kim Tae-ho said, "(Because of meningitis) I was hospitalized, but I told him to try until the age of 31 and change my job if it didn't work until next year. But shouldn't we do it for at least 5 years? So we met 'Infinite Challenge'."
As for the reason for starting "Infinite Challenge", it is a program that Jae-seok entered to get his contact information. There are fewer than 200 Korean entertainment producers in total, but my brother has only four or five programs, so I was thinking about what to do to get in there, but there was no further place to go down in the `Infinite Challenge,' so I thought I could suggest something next year if we do a semester together.
Producer Kim Tae-ho gave me a chance because he decided to disappear "Infinite Challenge"Imagine Expedition". I was supposed to do "Music Core". As a result, it seems to have benefited from the times," he said modestly.
