Broadcast personality Jung Hyeong-don shared reactions after leaving 'Gag Concert' and appearing on 'Infinite Challenge'.

On the 25th, a video titled 'Infinite Challenge VS JTTT Expedition Team' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'HaHa PD'.

The released video showed HaHa, Jung Hyeong-don, Yang Sang-guk, Kim Won-hyo, and Park Young-jin gathering to discuss various topics.

Jung Hyeong-don told the younger entertainers, "You should be grateful that you have 'What Do You Do?'."

He added, "I was the first comedian hired through public recruitment who switched broadcasters while working on 'Gag Concert'. As soon as my contract ended..."

HaHa asked, "Didn't Yong-mani and Gu-jin move from MBC to KBS?" Jung Hyeong-don replied, "No one had ever moved over while doing open comedy. They even tried to prevent it. I decided I wanted to focus on variety shows, left 'Gag Concert', and moved to 'Infinite Challenge'—but I was suspended." This surprised everyone.

Jung Hyeong-don continued, "For several years, we filmed 'Gag Concert' on Wednesdays, so there wasn't much else to do. 'Infinite Challenge' was recorded on Thursdays. So I went to KBS on Wednesdays. Nowadays that wouldn't happen, but back then they didn't allow greetings. After going for two consecutive weeks, (Kim) Dae-hee called me and said, 'Don't come. They ordered above that if you show up, don't even receive a greeting.' For a while, I was called a traitor."

In response, the younger entertainers expressed shock, saying, "That didn't happen during our time."

Jung Hyeong-don later recalled his appearance on 'Sasang Plus', saying, "After that incident, my agency lobbied intensely to resolve it. That's why when I returned to 'Gag Concert', they wouldn't even receive a greeting from me."
