In the SBS show 'Whenever Possible,' Yoo Jae-suk reveals his struggles with nurturing entertainment MCs.
The SBS entertainment program 'Whenever Possible' (directed by Choi Bo-pil/written by Chae Jin-a) is a variety show that gifts good fortune during brief moments of leisure encountered in daily life. As of the 29th episode, it not only ranks first in the 2049 viewership ratings during its time slot but also takes first place in the 2049 ratings across Tuesday entertainment and dramas, solidifying its position as the strongest Tuesday entertainment program. (According to Nielsen Korea) Tonight (the 15th) at 9 p.m., the 30th episode of 'Whenever Possible' will feature actors Seo Hyun-woo and Kang Ha-neul as 'gap friends', attracting attention with their unpredictable talk and perfect chemistry to captivate Magok-dong.
Yoo Jae-suk, known as 'Emma' in the MC world, shares his unspoken struggles, drawing considerable interest. On this day, what resonated with Yoo Jae-suk's parenting (?) empathy was none other than the caretaker of a plant nursery. When the caretaker mentioned that growing plants during rainy season is particularly challenging, Yoo Jae-suk nodded and said, 'It's hard to grow anything.' He subtly alluded to his own difficulties, stating, 'It's tough for entertainers to nurture stars, and it's hard for both children and plants.' In response, Yoo Yeon-seok chimed in, 'It's tough for you to nurture MCs too, isn't it? (Jaeseok is known as) the 'mother of the MC world', Emma.' Yoo Jae-suk then expressed, 'It's hard. Just because you nurture them doesn't mean they all grow,' revealing a unique burden as Emma, making the scene burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, 'Emma' Yoo Jae-suk raises excitement by suggesting a stage name for Yoo Yeon-seok's entertainment activities. Yoo Jae-suk said, 'Since I'm Seok, let's go with Seok as in "seok and sik",' bestowing a new nickname. There was someone particularly affected by Yoo Jae-suk's unique naming, none other than Kang Ha-neul. When Kang Ha-neul responded, 'That's nice. It could be 'Yeon-seok's sub-character!' Yoo Jae-suk officially declared, 'For drama and film activities, it'll be Yeon-seok, and for entertainment, let's make it Yeon-sik,' making everyone around burst into laughter.
Alongside this, Kang Ha-neul and Seo Hyun-woo reveal strong, impactful nicknames that match 'Yeon-sik'. When Kang Ha-neul said, 'When I was young, I was always 'Garlic'. So even now, it still is,' Seo Hyun-woo quietly added, 'I'm called 'Ikolai', a combination of psycho and crazy.' Upon hearing this, Yoo Jae-suk remarked, 'That was really strong,' bursting into laughter at the unexpected self-disclosure.
Indeed, as Yoo Jae-suk and Yeon-sik are reborn as 'Seok and Sik', and with 'Garlic' Kang Ha-neul, and 'Ikolai' Hyun-woo, there is anticipation about whether they can spend a day filled with intense fortune matching their nicknames. The expectations for the current broadcast of 'Whenever Possible' are soaring.
Predicting an even stronger form of laughter closely tied to daily life, the healing entertainment 'Whenever Possible' will air tonight (the 15th) at 9 p.m.
