talked with enews in an interview held on July 12. When asked whether she had any plans to appear on variety, she said, “I want to if I get the chance. I just think there weren’t any opportunities for me.”
Jun Ji Hyun underwent a great transformation for The Thieves. She set aside her ‘Nation’s goddess’ image and became the bright misfit ′Anycall′, cursing and kissing it out on screen.
She has rarely been seen on variety due to her mysterious image, but some are speculating that she may start venturing to variety shows with her new image.
Jun Ji Hyun said on the subject, “If I do go on variety, I want to be on Infinity Challenge. I’m really sad that it’s not running anymore. Infinity Challenge will be the best choice for me, but the show shines brighter without any star guests. I’m scared I’ll ruin the show’s original colors.”
The praise continued to flow.
“There probably aren’t any other programs that develop as much new content in Korea as Infinity Challenge. It’s great, since it releases songs, singles and character goods, donates money and brings the spotlight to unpopular [sport] events.”
“I watch Infinity Challenge with my husband every week. I’m so sad it’s not on these days [because of the labor strike]. We always complain that there’s nothing to watch,” Jun Ji Hyun added.
The press exclaimed that she would make Yoo Jae Suk very happy, to which the actress said, “’God Yoo’? That’s what we call him at home; God Yoo.”

Why Did Actress Jeon Ji Hyun Refuse to Appear on “Infinity Challenge”?
During a recent interview, PD Kim Tae Ho of “Infinity Challenge” discussed how guest stars are invited to his variety show.
Kim Tae Ho stated, “There are times when the stars ask to be guests on the show. Unfortunately, we sometimes have to refuse them politely because it would not fit our show. This is possible only in ‘Infinity Challenge.’”
He also discussed how he failed to invite actress Jeon Ji Hyun. Kim Tae Ho explained, “A while back, I called Jeon Ji Hyun and asked her to appear on the show. She said that although she would love to be a guest, she found that ‘Infinity Challenge’ worked best when only the seven members appear. She explained that as a fan of the show, she did not want to ruin it by appearing as a pointless guest.”
He continued, “But Jeon Ji Hyun also said that if there was anything else she could do for the show, she would do it. I was so thankful for her advice.”
