Jessica has reunited with a familiar face from one of the most memorable stages of her career.
On September 19, 2026 (KST), the former Girls’ Generation member-turned-soloist Jessica took the stage at “Infinite Challenge Run in Gyeongju,” held at Gyeongju Civic Stadium. There, she reunited with comedian Park Myung Soo to perform “Naengmyeon,” the hit duet they first released together in 2009.
The pair originally formed the project duo MyungCaDrive for MBC’s Infinite Challenge “Olympic Highway Duet Song Festival,” where “Naengmyeon” quickly became one of the show’s most beloved collaboration tracks.
Seeing them perform it together again after 17 years immediately sent longtime fans back to the late 2000s. Jessica was spotted leaning fully into the nostalgia for the reunion stage. Wearing a navy mini dress and a cap reminiscent of her old style, she drew attention to how little her overall image seemed to have changed since the original era. She also showed off her live vocals and choreography throughout the performance, bringing back the light, playful energy associated with the song!
The moment quickly spread online after mmm Magazine shared footage from the event. The outlet wrote, “I can’t believe this is real. MyungCaDrive finally performed again at ‘Infinite Challenge Run in Gyeongju.’ We actually get to see Myungsoo and Jessica perform ‘Naengmyeon’ again… Thank you so much, Mudo Run.”
The event brought back several artists closely associated with Infinite Challenge’s legendary music festival specials. Skull & Haha, Zion.T, Yoon Mirae & Tiger JK, and Lee Juck were among the other performers who also took the stage. But for longtime K-Pop fans, Jessica and Park Myungsoo standing together and singing “Naengmyeon” again, 17 years later, was the kind of reunion many never expected to see happen again.
