Park Myung-soo and Jessica Shake Up 'Mudorun' with Nostalgic 'Cold Noodles' Performance After 17 Years

Former Girls' Generation member Jessica and comedian Park Myung-soo reunited after 17 years for a 'Myung Card Drive' performance that brought the house down.

The '2026 Infinite Challenge Run in Gyeongju' (aka 'Mudorun') at Gyeongju Citizens' Sports Complex on September 19 featured a star-studded lineup for post-race entertainment. Performers with deep ties to MBC's 'Infinite Challenge' music festivals, including Park Myung-soo, Jessica, Skull & Haha, Zion.T, Yoon Mi-rae & Tiger JK, and Lee Juck, amped up the crowd.

Park Myung-soo and Jessica stole the show with their 'Myung Card Drive' act, belting out their hit 'Cold Noodles.' Jessica, rocking a navy mini dress, proved she hasn't lost her touch, nailing her vocals and iconic chopstick dance move, sending fans into a frenzy. Park Myung-soo matched her energy perfectly, showcasing their undeniable chemistry.

'Cold Noodles,' which debuted during MBC's 'Olympic Highway Duet Music Festival' in 2009, became an instant summer anthem with its addictive melody and unlikely pairing. The duo's reunion, performing the same track 17 years later in 2026, hit all the right nostalgic notes for longtime 'Infinite Challenge' fans.

This performance marks Jessica's first domestic stage appearance in 12 years since leaving Girls' Generation. Jessica, born in 1989, debuted with Girls' Generation in 2007 but parted ways with the group in 2014. Since then, she's reinvented herself as a solo artist and fashion mogul, focusing mainly on the Chinese market. Her 'Cold Noodles' reunion with Park Myung-soo on home turf carries extra weight, thrilling fans who've missed her presence on the Korean stage.
