Jack Black Takes on 'Infinite Challenge' in South Korea

Jack Black will be taking on a new challenge during his Asian press tour for new film "Kung Fu Panda 3": He'll be a guest on the unpredictable South Korean variety show "Infinity Challenge."

"I have accepted the challenge," Black said at a press conference in Seoul on Jan. 20. "I'm very scared because it's the biggest challenge. There's no number larger than infinity, so I don't know what's in store for me. I just hope that I survive. But I shall face it like a brave warrior."

In a preview for the episode, titled "School of Variety," Black can be seen partaking in the show's signature games, including pillow fights, balance battles, conga lines, as well as a rendition of "Gangnam Style" with the show's cast. The episode was filmed on Jan. 21 but airs Jan. 30 in South Korea on MBC.

Infinity Challenge, often billed as South Korea's first variety show, has been running successfully for over 10 years. It has hosted Korea's most popular stars, as well as international celebrities such as tennis champion Maria Sharapova, soccer player Thierry Henry, and Paris Hilton.
