[비즈한국] With 400 hours of video uploaded every minute on YouTube, not every video can be a 'blast.' In 'All That Tube,' we select and introduce videos worth watching from the vast YouTube world, along with helpful explanations.

PD Kim Tae-ho's new variety show 'How Do You Play?' surpassed 240,000 subscribers within a month of launching its YouTube channel and received a Silver Creator Award from YouTube. Video=How Do You Play? Channel Capture

'How Do You Play?': Planning by Yoo Jae-suk, Directed by Yoo Jae-suk, Starring Yoo Jae-suk, Logo by Yoo Jae-suk, Poster by Yoo Jae-suk...

The expectation that PD Kim Tae-ho would start something new had existed ever since 'Infinite Challenge' ended. We just didn't expect the wait to last a year and a half. 'How Do You Play?', featuring PD Kim Tae-ho and Yoo Jae-suk, begins airing on MBC starting July 27. It’s in the Saturday 6:30 PM time slot, where 'Infinite Challenge' used to air.

Last June, PD Kim created a YouTube channel of the same name, abruptly handed a camera to Yoo Jae-suk, and shared videos of what ensued. A month later, he called Yoo Jae-suk out to Euljiro again to suddenly shoot a poster. Oh, and getting to see the Silver Creator Award received from YouTube headquarters for reaching 100,000 subscribers was a bonus. Will Yoo Jae-suk really become a YouTuber and beat 'Ddotty' as PD Kim Tae-ho suggested? Can 'How Do You Play?' become a powerhouse of Saturday variety shows? Oh my, I'm so excited!

MBCentertainment's '5-Minute Snap: The days when even the 'Infinite Challenge' staff were crazy (ft. Kim Tae-ho and the 30 staff members)'

If you can't create an incredibly brilliant masterpiece right this second, utilizing existing assets is a great method. The '5-Minute Snap' segment, currently being uploaded on MBC's official entertainment account, is garnering high views by editing popular past sitcoms and variety shows like 'High Kick Through the Roof,' 'Dad! Where Are We Going?', and 'Infinite Challenge' into roughly 5-minute clips.

This video is a blast, confirming that in a hit program, not only the cast but the production crew are also a little bit crazy. What would the 'Infinite Challenge' staff do when the elevator breaks down after a bungee jump shoot and they need to clear out for the next filming? From the staff's daring bungee jumps that earned them the nickname 'Kim Tae-ho and the 3000 Palace Women,' to the cast members watching in shock, and the staff member who was so frustrated with waiting that he climbed down a ladder like Spider-Man... It really makes you say, "Ah, the good old days."

MBCentertainment's '5-Minute Snap: The top-tier chemistry of trusted favorites Jeong Hyeong-don + Defconn'

Every special episode of 'Infinite Challenge' is precious, but I think the ones with the biggest public impact were the 'Music Festivals.' In the music festival specials, the performance of Jeong Hyeong-don, who guaranteed explosive laughter with his unique chemistry with the musicians he paired with, is still vivid in my memory. In this video covering the performance of the Jeong Hyeong-don and G-Dragon team from the 'Infinite Challenge Free Road Music Festival: Part 2' episode, the banter between Jeong Hyeong-don and the 'Hip-hop Pigeon' Defconn—who moves like needle and thread with him—is absolutely top-tier. Especially that Dongmyo wholesale market ad-lib—honestly, isn't he a genius?

eNEWS24's 'PD Kim Tae-ho is a genius... Let's have a cup of coffee, from PD Na Young-seok'

This video shows PD Na Young-seok, who was a guest on tvN's 'Taxi' aired on September 9, 2013, suddenly being asked a question about PD Kim Tae-ho. Ever since PD Na was at KBS, he and PD Kim Tae-ho were constantly described as "rivals" or "two horses pulling a carriage" as the masterminds behind 'Infinite Challenge' and '1 Night 2 Days.' Regardless, the public likes to compare and analyze people in similar positions, and as Kim Gura says in the video, people are curious about trivial things that make you ask, "Why are you even talking about this?"

Waiting for PD Kim Tae-ho to stretch his wings again after the end of 'Infinite Challenge,' I remembered this scene. PD Na Young-seok, who was forced to send an awkward video message to PD Kim Tae-ho saying, "Let's have a cup of coffee." Did they ever end up having that coffee? After 'How Do You Play?' airs, how will the media and the public evaluate the two PDs again? (This is exactly what the public is curious about!)
