#SHOWBIZ: It's a girl! Park Shin-hye welcomes second child with Choi Tae-joon

SEOUL — After a 17-year hiatus, Jessica Jung and Park Myung-soo reunited on stage for the first time ever to perform their classic hit duet, Naengmyeon. The surprise performance took place at the 2026 Infinite Challenge Run in Gyeongju, reviving the beloved duo Myung-ca Drive, which originally debuted on MBC's popular variety show Infinite Challenge in 2009.

This was Jessica's first stage performance in around 12 years since leaving the girl group Girls Generation in 2014. She had since focused her career in China, making this home-country comeback particularly meaningful for her loyal supporters. Jessica shared a nostalgic Instagram post with Park Myung-soo following the event, reigniting a wave of nostalgia among fans who fondly remembered the duo's comedic chemistry.

The song Naengmyeon, originally released as part of a 2009 Infinite Challenge music special, was a massive chart success and remains one of the show's most iconic tracks. Over a decade later, the unexpected return of Myung-ca Drive has proven that the track's appeal has not diminished in the slightest.
