Veteran singer Lee Hyori has begun filming for 'Infinity Challenge' this afternoon (June 8 KST) at her home in Jeju Island.

For the upcoming special, the singer is said to have grabbed the concept of 'true dancing' and will be teaching the fellow cast members the meaning of dance as well as how to dance.

In 2014, Lee Hyori made a special appearance on 'Infinity Challenge - Saturday is for Singers', showing off her Jeju Island lifestyle and relaying to Yoo Jae Suk her desire to return to Seoul.

Who's excited to see the 'Sexy Diva' make her return to broadcasts?

She is finally on IC, after YJS failed to convince her or FinKL to appear on IC for Totoga many years ago. I remember when YJS called her on Happy Together 500th episode special when she was in Berlin i think, she promised to go on the show (as a former MC also), so i hope to see her on Happy Together one day also.

i find it such a waste hyori didn't continue to do variety after Family Outing. she was really the best female variety celebrity in korea and set trends that Jihyo and other popular females on variety emulated.

I think much of that was the result of the plagiarism scandal from her 2010 album, which even though she wasn't really at fault, she had to take the time off to "reflect" so to speak. She kind of disappeared in 2011 as a result, but started to work more in 2012 and especially 2013. She has done many other variety shows since Family Outing, but not as a permanent cast member. Part of that may have been her choice though as those shows where you are a regular cast member can be kind of demanding on your time and maybe she wanted to scale back on some things. That likely was about the time she started dating her husband as well and that too may have played a role in her decision to not do as much TV other than as a guest, so she had more time to foster a relationship. While we as fans loved her on Family Outing, it can be really hard to find a show as a regular cast member that lives up to fans expectations based on a classic show like that. That was a great cast and crew and it just really worked. She may have had offers to do other ensemble shows, but it was just too similar to Family Outing, a cheap imitation, or something that was just a bad fit for whatever reason. Obviously she isn't completely against doing such a show again as she is doing this one now, but this sounds a bit like something fresh that while perhaps compared against Family Outing because she is in it, is different enough that such a comparison isn't really valid, so the show will sink or swim on its own merits.
