Jack Black wants to return to 'Infinite Challenge' again, reveals he has started learning Korean

Of all the big names in the entertainment industry to make an appearance in MBC's variety show "Infinite Challenge," there is one Western celebrity who wants to come back. Jack Black has recently expressed his desire to appear on the popular variety show again.

During a recent live video conference for the upcoming film "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" that was broadcasted at the I'PARK Mall CGV movie theater in Yongsan, Seoul, the actor was seated next to his co-stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. He revealed that he would want to come back on the show. Black has gained a lot of fans from his two appearances on the MBC variety show.

When asked about his experience, Black shared that he misses the show's cast and that he wants to come back to Korea and appear for a third time. He went on to say that he has even started learning Korean and that he is working on it. Black hoped that he could come back in a few months when he has gotten better at the language.

Black first appeared on "Infinite Challenge" back in 2016, while promoting "Kung Fu Panda 3." He took part in the various games and challenges, the most popular one among the fans being the challenge where he made the cast guess which K-Pop song he was humming or singing to. Several months ago, Black appeared on the show again, when the show had a special set in Los Angeles and put them through an incredibly funny audition prank.

In other news, "Infinite Challenge" recently went back on air with a new episode after a 12-week hiatus due to the strike called by the MBC Labor Union against the now-former MBC president Kim Jang Gyeom. After Kim's dismissal from the company, a lot of the channel's shows went back to their usual filming schedules.

"Infinite Challenge" airs Saturdays, 6:20 p.m. KST/6:20 a.m. EST on MBC.
