MBC's famous program "Infinite Challenge" is the previous title holder for the longest-running TV variety program. The show began in 2006 and was able to receive lots of love and support from the audience and was even called as "Nation's Favorite Variety" program.
Unfortunately, the show ended at episode 563 in April 2018.
