Yunho of ATEEZ has been cast in a special drama commemorating the 20th anniversary of MBC’s iconic variety show ‘Infinite Challenge’, according to an exclusive report by TenAsia on June 28. He has already completed filming.
This vertical short-form drama is based on the “Infinite Company” segment from ‘Infinite Challenge’, which features the beloved office parody universe centered on Jeong Jun Ha’s character, often referred to as “Office Admin Jeong”. The drama portrays the daily chaos at a fictional IT company.
