One of the nation’s most popular entertainment shows is launching an online poll to select a new honcho of its comical panel.

MBC’s Infinity Challenge released Friday on its online homepage a poster ad that promotes the poll. The event is a celebration of the show’s 10th anniversary of its public airing.

Leaving behind the past and looking into the coming 10 years, the show’s election-parodying farcical project introduces six different promises made by each of six members of the show.

The catch is that the ad doesn’t indicate which was promised by whom, tempting viewers into an intriguing guessing game.

Some of the promises include they will pay surprise visits to viewers at home on Saturday night, or they will set up a television rating emergency control center.
