Big Bang to appear on Infinity Challenge again? [NEWS]

Posted by on February 27, 2012

BIGBANG was "healed" on Healing Camp, will be "running" in Running Man and now will come out on Infinity Challenge once again.

Infinity Challenge has been off air for 4 weeks now and after actress Lee Na Young's episode, it has been reported that the staff members are busy preparing for a BIGBANG special.

According to broadcast industry insiders, they heard on the 27th that Big Bang had plans to appear on Infinity Challenge.

An official from YG confirmed, "Yes, Big Bang was requested to appear on Infinity Challenge and we scheduled to do so. However, because of the MBC Labor Union strike, we will have to re-schedule filming."

In addition, Big Bang will be having their concerts in Seoul from March 2-4 and then, their world tour. YGE's official said that, right now, they are not yet sure if Big Bang will have time to fit filming for Infinity Challenge in their busy schedule. He assured though that Big Bang members are big fans of Infinity Challenge and they would love to appear on the show again.

Last year, Infinity Challenge had a special "Gangs of Seoul" episode with Big Bang. G-Dragon also participated during their "West Coast Highway Singing Festival" and has a good relationship with the cast. Daesung is also close to MC Yoo Jae Suk through Family Outing.

Note: The MBC Labor Union strike began on January 30th. As a result of the strike, MBC had been replacing the majority of its shows with recap episodes.

    If they do appear in IC gain, I have the scriptwriter does a better job this time. The GANGS OF SEOUL episode was so underwhelming. Basing the entire episode on  'rock, paper, scissors' felt so half-assed.

    wow..they really gonna be active throughout this year..I know that fact that but i don't expect this active...as much as I want to see them in this show..I hope they'll take care of their health and have enough rest...you know world tour will be tiring..but if they still going to appear in this show..I'll definitely looking forward for it...:).looks like BIGBANG is dominating everything now..all the show wants them as the guest!..daebak! bigbang fighting!

    omg. i love both IC and RM. and i adore Big Bang's competitive but entertaining spirit when it comes to these shows.

    but IC on March 4th too? that's like a whole day of BIG BANG!!!

    somehow, i think we all know why now KBS is attacking them indirectly thru the Daesung Incident.

    I read that there is an article (in Korean) where it states that investigators found out that kbs was manipulating data to misdirect viewers on the big bang incidents. Will anyone kind enough to translate it? Lol. Boom Shaka Laka, KBS! :P

  • http://twitter.com/Ashihana 박 민 미

    wow..every show is targeting Big Bang now...what a happy days...

  • Teddy N.A.

    Our Boys is most wanted now, actually they need to do more variety. but i
    hope they are more picky to what kind of show they would appear. IC,
    SH, RM is a good choice, from that our boys make a good relationship
    with alot sunbae. Some VIP wants to see them make a good interaction
    with other idol, but for me, they don't need a cheap variety where usual
    idol do, our boys too exclusive to do a kind of cheap variety show. our
    boys is recognize because they're talent of singing and performing, not
    because variety like other idol do nowadays.

  • Niakoes

    See? Without KBS, Bigbang still can be performance on tv, for arogan KBS, be ready for low rating... forever....

  • bigbangfanUS

    I believe they have been most wanted since forever.

    It's just that they are super picky in attending these kind of show. Seungri spilled that they receive a lot of offer but GD warn them to be mindful of bigbang's image as musicians in deciding which show to attend.

    That's why in strong heart Kang Ho Dong said that they have to be "pressed dry" (get everything from bb once there's a chance) coz they rarely appear on tv.We're lucky this year, they're going all out ^^.

  • LingZRaa

    make bigbang appear at all variety show !! i will love it !! miss them at variety show ~~

  • nasuha

    can anyone tell me where i can watch or download infinity challenge and the videos are NOT from dailymotion? i have problem with dailymotion's videos. i dont know why.. :(

  • xanneTOP

    as long as it's not a KBS show, my boys are free to go there! lol :D 
    but i do hope they can still rest. they are literally eveyrwhere! lol

  • Teddy N.A.

    yeah i agree with you, since it's a rare chance to have them in variety, their appearance is always be the most wanted ever.
    Dae is good to pick what variety was feasible for him. but seungri must be more careful to pick what's better for him. i saw him on King of Idol and i don't like how other idol ruined BigBang image through our maknae. and i saw him on idol star athletic championshiop too, and for this one, actually he doesn't need to be on it at all.

  • psstxhello

    I hope they win this time... xD lol!... and that dude in blue on the left side, probably wasnt the best in thinking strategies but i was touched when he kind of stood up for bb members when the guy w/ pink scarf tricked them... :D

  • http://twitter.com/AviWill Avi Will

    I hope this is gonna happen and BIGBANG should win this time!! :p

  • EelingVIP

    Ah! I hope BIGBANG has the time to film the show! Then we will be able to see them! ^^ BUT of cox their health is important too! Must take care! <3

  • monstertop

    One specific part is where it says "According to... Big Bang had plans to appear on Infinity Challenge's March 4 episode."

    The original article doesn't say that they were planning to appear on the March 4th episode of Infinity Challenge but rather that they were going to appear as guests on Infinity Challenge later on like they will appear as guests on March 4th episode of Running Man. 

    I realize that it might not seem like a big deal and it probably is not a big deal since you guys have provided news for a while. But there are some awkwardly phrased sentences as well that give the wrong feeling/meaning(?) than the original articles gives. I guess it's because I just recently found out about this site and am not really used to how accurately or how much of the original you guys translate.
    Hope it doesn't sound attacking. It just bothers me because I have previous experience translating videos and articles and whatnot.

  • vicbb

    No worries and thanks for commenting and pointing the discrepancies out. Appreciate it a lot :-) The translations may sometimes lose their "feel" because they are still edited after before publishing. We'll be more conscious of this next time. Thank you again!
