On the episode that aired on Saturday, Kwanghee beat out other competitors to become the sixth man for the popular show. He went through rigorous interviews and secured the most votes from the current cast members.
For the final round of the competition, Kwanghee competed with Super Junior‘s Siwon, actress Hong Jin-kyung, Noel’s Kang Kyun-sung and comedian Jang Dong-min.
Jang, who was widely seen as a strong candidate, withdrew from the race at the last minute after his past remarks disparaging women sparked criticism.
The “sixth man” project aimed at recruiting a new member of the show, started in March after two of its regular members -- rapper Gil and comedian Noh Hong-chul -- dropped out last year over their drunken driving.
After the latest edition hit the airwaves, Kwanghee expressed his gratitude to his supporters, program viewers and “Infinite Challenge” staff members concerning the positive result.
Kwanghee will join the show alongside Yoo Jae-suk, Park Myung-soo, Jung Joon-ha, Jung Hyung-don, and HaHa. “Infinite Challenge” airs every Saturday at 6:20 p.m.
