One of the most popular MBC variety programs “Moohan Dojeon” (Infinite Challenge) is returning after 24 weeks off the air following the end of a six-month strike by the broadcaster’s labor union.

“MBC’s labor union has confirmed that ‘Moohan Dojeon’ will began airing again starting at 6:30 p.m. on July 21. Details of future plans have not been discussed with the staff yet,” said an associate of the program.

“Moohan Dojeon” stopped airing on Feb. 4 along with other popular variety programs due to the strike.

The shooting for the opening scene of the new episode of the program, now in its seventh year, took place at a practice studio on July 18.

The program’s cast Ha ha and Jeong Jun-ha posted comments regarding the shooting on their SNS on the same day.

The program, returning after a 170-day break, will air the third episode of “Ha ha vs. Hong-cheol special” as a continuation of the second episode which was broadcast on Jan. 28.
