Infinite Challenge visits L.A and reminisce Korean independence memories.

Infinite Challenge casts visits Los Angeles, USA for their new mission whereby they were supposed to meet Jack Black unfortunately change of plans so it became Jung Jun Ha's penalty mission. They accidentally met singer Kim Jong Kook at the streets of L.A and was taken back he is so relaxed over there. Not far they were joined by Zico who helped them to compose a rap song called Hit. The locals sitting at the nearby cafe were smiling away hearing their so-called rap song. 

Now adjourning to the 3 missions- the Newest, the Highest and the Strongest. What lies ahead is something very frightening for the IC casts. The Newest mission attraction is whereby the members are supposed to slide on a mat across the glass bottom slide. It is definitely not for the faint hearted and best not to look down. Jun Ha was freaking out and couldn't even stand near the glass. The sky slide spans 13.7 meters from the 70th to the 69th floor of the US Bank Tower in downtown Los Angeles. First to go was Jae Suk and his heart thumped away as he slide down to the bottom within seconds. Next was Myung Soo who looked as if he has been sledding since he was a kid! Followed by Kwang Hee and Ha Ha was basically screeching away on his arm - the friction against the glass definitely hurts. 
Jun Ha waned to chicken out but he was determined to do so after all members have done their part. The locals laughed and even the security lady was giggling away hearing how Jun Ha screamed and his expression on the video was hilarious! King of Expressions Jun Ha!

IC casts were taken to a outskirt theme park whereby they were greeted enthusiastically by girl group GFriend. Jun Ha starts smiling upon seeing the girls but their heads started to spin when their next mission The Highest is to ride the 80m drop roller coaster and have a duet song with GFriend. The lowest 2 teams of the score will have to ride the scariest X2 (4D) roller coaster at Magic Mountain. It was already terrifying to ride the roller coaster and now they have to sing a duet. Ha Ha started out first and his song Nagging was definitely all over the place screaming away. His team scored last. Myung Soo was not too far behind from Ha Ha. Kwang Hee's Magic Castle song at least scored better though it wasn't perfect. Jae Suk's team singing My Ear's Candy was quite funny but they scored 70 the highest. Jun Ha has to eat spaghetti while riding the roller coaster with GFriend members. Jun Ha's spaghetti splattered all over the air as soon as it drops 80m however the girls were laughing away and rather stable. Now the lowest team have to sit the X2 roller coaster. The chairs rotate and spin 360 degrees and moves rapidly as it twists around the corner. Haha mentioned his hair felt like it was ripping off. Myung Soo hated it. Jun Ha dragged Jae Suk to sit together with him for his last mission. Jun Ha's mission of eating yoghurt while riding X2 turns out disastrous as he looked as if he had face pack on his entire face! Muahahah!

Night time falls the guys were camping away under the stars and having BBQ. 
Next morning the members were taken for a downtown LA Tour by the MBC PD Lee in charged of America broadcast. As he took them in the bus explaining the the Korean Association and Korea Town, the members were grumbling they didn't see much. Upon reaching the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the members were given mission to find the 3 Korean celebrities who had their foot and hand prints in it. Jun Ha discovered the first 2 hand prints- actors Lee Byung Hun and Ahn Sung Ki. The rest were struggling to find the third and final person but nowhere to be found. It turns out to be Phillip Ahn - a pioneer and veteran famous actor in 1950's. He was also the son to Dosan Ahn Chang Ho- one of the earliest Korean Independence Activist and Korean-American immigrant community in US. 

It was rather a sad and touching story how Ahn fought his way through for the love of his country and Korean people. They met Ahn's youngest son- Ralph Ahn who is already 91 years old and only surviving lineage.He was rather pleased and honored to see they are covering the story of his father and the history was remembered to everyone until today. Soon it was getting dark and PD tells them they were invited to another person's house who is none other than Dosan Ahn's grandson- Philip Ahn Cuddy. He showed them the Korean flag hand sewn by his late grandmother Lee Hye Ryeon and even the smoke pipe which he stole when he was a kid. The original 3 smoke pipes are kept in the museum in South Korea but Cuddy took the last one and kept. LOL! 

IC casts returned back to South Korea and visited the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho memorial and brought back some of the precious hand written notes passed down by his grandson. The most memorable leadership quote is 

'Love Yourself, Love Others'  愛己愛他 Love is the heart of a liberating leadership. A liberator is someone who fights for the highest possible good in the lives of those they lead. This idea of love is the heart of Dosan’s leadership philosophy.
