'Infinite Challenge,' known as the show that has everything, has done it again. This time, it is WBC (World Baseball Classic) star Moon Bo-kyung.

Broadcaster Jung Jun-ha shared a video on the 10th titled 'Infinite Challenge shouting out Moon Bo-kyung 19 years ago,' along with the caption "Moon Bo-kyung is love."

The video features MBC's 'Infinite Challenge' members Yoo Jae-suk, Park Myung-soo, Jung Jun-ha, and Jung Hyung-don appearing on a live radio broadcast hosted by singer Sung Si-kyung at the time, introducing the last listener's song request. At the time, the members made mistakes in introducing the listener and the song, causing laughter.

At that time, Jung Hyung-don introduced the requested song as Moon Bo-kyung's 'Mot,' but DJ Sung Si-kyung corrected this, saying, "The song requested by Mr. Moon Bo-kyung," and added, "The singer is Mot, and the song is 'Close'."

This video has once again become a hot topic, re-titled "The scene of South Korea's dramatic 8th-round advancement like a movie," following South Korea's dramatic qualification for the 8th round at the 2026 WBC held at Tokyo Dome in Japan on the 9th.

On this day, the South Korean national baseball team, led by manager Ryu Ji-hyun, defeated Australia 7-2 in the final 4th match of the 2026 WBC Group C round-robin held at Tokyo Dome in Japan at 7 p.m. on the 9th. With this victory, South Korea finished with 2 wins and 2 losses, tied with Australia and Taiwan, but secured second place in the group and dramatically advanced to the 8th round thanks to a better run differential.

As a result, South Korea will head to Miami for the 8th-round matches, with the opponent on the 14th likely to be either the Dominican Republic or Venezuela from Group D.

Notably, Moon Bo-kyung, who recorded 3 hits in 5 at-bats (including 1 home run) and 4 RBIs in today's game, was selected as the official MVP of the match and rose to first place in the WBC with 11 RBIs. The record for the most RBIs in a single WBC tournament is 13, set by Japan's Yoshida Masataka (Boston Red Sox) in the 2023 tournament.

Meanwhile, 'Infinite Challenge,' known as the show that has everything, continues to be consistently re-examined even after its conclusion, as it has become a meme for scenes that perfectly align as time passes.
