Entertainer Haha revealed that he experienced severe panic disorder symptoms due to extreme pressure while filming 'Infinite Challenge'.

On the 6th, KBS 2TV's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' aired, revealing Haha's daily life.

That day, Park Young-jin asked Haha, "If you have any secrets for doing well in weekend variety shows, please share them."

In response, Haha said, "Popularity isn't something I decide; viewer reactions are what matter," reflecting on his variety activities. He added, "I used to film 'Infinite Challenge' every Thursday, and from Tuesday evening onward, my heart would race uncontrollably. The pressure was overwhelming." He confessed, "Looking back now, that must have been when the panic disorder set in."

He continued, "After filming on Thursdays, I always drank alcohol. Jae-suk hyung was very worried about me and came to my house every day," mentioning Yoo Jae-suk, who took care of him at the time.

Haha then shared how he overcame his panic disorder: "There were so many good people around me. Jae-suk hyung whipped me into shape like a mother." He recalled Yoo Jae-suk's advice: "If you do nothing, nothing will happen. You need to decide what to do—whether it's getting scolded or receiving help."

Haha said, "From then on, I pulled myself together and acted like a madman." He added, "Having good seniors is truly important. The same goes for (Park) Myung-soo hyung," expressing his gratitude.
