MBC's popular 'Infinity Challenge' is on the chopping block for one of its captions.


On the November 30th episode, 'Infinity Challenge' were having a reggae week episode. During the episode, the members came across a hyper African man who reminded them of cast member Noh Hong ChulThe show used the caption 'It's like seeing a just-cooked Noh Hong Chul' to describe the African man. 


The caption displeased some viewers, who uploaded the frame and said it was definitely racism at play. They reasoned, "Saying people are burnt or cooked is a derogatory term for black people. Did they really have to use that particular phrase?" and "They should have been more careful in picking the captions."

However, yet others are saying that these are the complaints of people who misunderstood the broadcast. 

Do you think the caption was racist?
