Kim Hyun Joong, a popular singer and act, confided that he had withdrawn from the qualification test to be a member of the rowing project which has been conducted by MBC’s popular entertainment show Infinite Challenge.

On the June 12 episode of MBC’s Section TV Entertainment News, a report visited to hold an interview with him the showcase to celebrate the release of Kim’s first solo albumBreak Down.

In the interview, Kim poured out the humiliating anecdote with the comment, “I applied for the qualification test to be one of the members in the rowing special project ofInfinite Challenge, but I failed to finish the 2,000m-course of rowing. How can it be possible to row the whole given course which, I think, is too long even to go on foot.”

He once again caused people to burst out laughing by speaking in earnest, “I’m sincerely worried about the rowing project. I doubt very much whether the members of Infinite Challenge, who are all notorious for their inferior physical strength, could make it.”

Fans who heard the news left such comments as: “Can we see him appearing in Infinite Challenge?” “He never let us down with his whimsical but explicit appeals.” “We hope to see him in the show, even though he ended up withdrawing himself.”

He just released his first solo album, showing off a charismatic “third-gear dance,” which endeared him to many people.
