On the 22nd, Jung Hyung-don opened up about his anxiety while listening to the love life of top popular lecturer (Ilta Lecturer) Jung Seung-je on the YouTube channel 'Oh Eun-young's Bucket List.'

Like Jung Seung-je, Jung Hyung-don said he had high anxiety and mentioned his departure from 'Infinite Challenge,' stating, "I still think I received much more love than my ability and have been on air for a much longer time."

In response to Dr. Oh Eun-young's comment, "It must have been harder the more love you received," Jung Hyung-don said, "Receiving love manifested as a sense of responsibility that I had to do something. But if I failed, it concluded with 'I will become a person who is not needed.'

Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun-young comforted him by saying, "Fans love Hyung-don not because of something he said on Infinite Challenge, but simply because they like the comedian Jung Hyung-don himself. Those people will still like him even if he shows a different side."

She also advised Jung Seung-je, "Seung-je, when you dated a woman who liked you, it wasn't because you bought her chicken on a certain day. You shouldn't think that way."

Previously, Jung Hyung-don had been active as a member of 'Infinite Challenge' alongside Yoo Jae-suk, Park Myung-soo, Jung Joon-ha, Noh Hong-chul, Haha, and others since 2006. However, he suffered from psychological anxiety such as panic disorder and eventually left in 2015. 'Infinite Challenge,' which is regarded as having created a new history in variety shows, first aired in May 2006 and maintained its popularity for 12 years before being canceled in March 2018.
