‘Infinite Challenge Run with Coupang Play’ (hereafter referred to as Infinite Challenge Run)held on the 25th in Yeouido, Seoul successfully ended, presenting laughter and emotion while crossing the boundaries between a marathon, entertainment, and performance.
This event was a complex entertainment festival based on the worldview of ‘Infinite Challenge’, combining 10km running, special performances, and various on-site events, and was held with enthusiastic responses from numerous fans.Coupang Play confirmed Busan as the next venue, following the success of this event, and is raising expectations by foreshadowing another special festival.
# 10km marathon completed together with the spirit of ‘Infinite Challenge’
In particular, everyone, including Jeong Jun-ha, who completed the race without stopping even once amidst the cheers of his fans, a parent who ran with her child while pushing a stroller, and a participant who reached the finish line in a wheelchair despite an injury, each showed the ‘spirit of martial arts’ in their own way.
Celebrities also joined the marathon that day, adding to the excitement of the scene.Actor Yoon Si-yoon made a surprise appearance as Jeong Jun-ha’s pacemaker, and ‘MuDoKids’ representing the sports and entertainment industry, including Lee Keun-ho, Yeom Ki-hun, and Kim Young-kwang from Coupang Play’s entertainment show ‘Shooting Star’, as well as Im Se-mi, Sean, Son Star, and Sim Eu-teum, participated in large numbers, further raising the festival atmosphere.
The atmosphere on the scene became even hotter with the ‘Challenge! Best Dresser’ event.As if they had made a promise, the participants appeared dressed up in the concepts of the ‘Infinite Challenge’ members, creating cheerful scenes reminiscent of a special episode of a variety show.This event, which fully showed the details of the makeup as well as the love for ‘Infinite Challenge’, was a moment that showed how to enjoy the marathon the most.
# Welcoming faces that catch our eyes and ears at every event
This event added a special fun to the event with familiar faces that brought back memories for fans.Before the marathon started, Haha and Prime appeared as MCs and announced the official start by shouting out the signature poses and slogans of ‘Infinite Challenge’ with the participants.
In particular, the legendary contestant of ‘Infinite Challenge’, ‘Halmae(Yeom Jeong-in)’, who received a warm cheer as soon as she appeared, heated up the scene with her powerful and cheerful aerobic performance.In addition, voice actor Si Young-jun delivered a welcoming on-site guidance message, and ‘Infinite Challenge’ regular judge Park Moon-ki personally fired the signal flare, vividly reviving the emotions of that time.
# A special live broadcast by Couple for fans who couldn’t be there
The marathon broadcast was handled by original members of ‘Infinite Challenge’, commentators Lee Byung-jin and caster Jeong Yong-geom, vividly conveying the atmosphere of the scene with a cheerful and highly immersive commentary.Park Myung-soo appeared as a surprise guest, drawing enthusiastic cheers from fans watching the broadcast.Park Myung-soo’s characteristically blunt wit, which added to the excitement of the scene and the commentary reminiscing about famous scenes from ‘Infinite Challenge’ with the commentary team, completed another legendary moment and left a deep impression on fans.
# The whole world was a dance! Experience ‘Infinite Challenge’ firsthand at that time
After the marathon, various experiential content paying homage to legendary episodes of ‘Infinite Challenge’ followed.Fans enjoyed laughter and memories at the same time by performing missions as if they were members of ‘Infinite Challenge’ in spaces themed around popular special episodes such as ‘Infinite Company’, ‘Myungsoo is 12’, ‘Run with the Money Bag’, ‘Rowing Experience’, and ‘Tail Catcher’.Each experiential event vividly brought the unique worldview of ‘Infinite Challenge’ to life, providing a special experience that kept people laughing all day long even after completing the marathon.
# The emotions of that time that united everyone, a splendid finale performance

As Park Myung-soo’s “Cold Noodles” and “Prince of the Sea” began to ring out, fans responded enthusiastically with a group “Jjo Jjo Dance.” The participants completed a stage worthy of the expression “Miracle Morning EDM, “ making the fact that they had completed a 10km run early in the morning seem insignificant.At the end of the performance, Jinusean appeared and performed classics like “Phone Number” and “Tell Me,” and the audience responded with enthusiastic sing-alongs and the “Tell Me” dance, heating up the stage.
# Coupang Play, which is serious about dancing, properly captures the hearts of fans

Coupang Play CEO Kim Sung-han said, “As one of the ‘Infinite Challenge Kids,’ I find it very meaningful to be able to experience the world of Korea’s representative entertainment show together with customers through ‘Infinite Challenge Run with Coupang Play.’” He added, “Coupang Play will continue to think hard and make efforts to present content experiences that allow customers to feel joy and emotion both on-site and streaming.”
