SBS 'Whenever Possible' (directed by Choi Bo-pil and written by Chae Jin-a) is a variety show that gifts luck in the brief moments of spare time encountered in daily life. In the 30th episode aired on the 15th (Tuesday), co-hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with 'friend of the show' Kang Ha-neul and Seo Hyun-woo, visited Magok-dong and provided a day full of laughter and good fortune.
Kang Ha-neul and Seo Hyun-woo exhibited remarkable quirkiness from the start. The first 'spare time owner' they met was a botanical garden staff member. As soon as Kang Ha-neul met the owner, he burst out with quirky questions like, 'Do you plant all the melon seeds at once?' and 'Is it really bad for your stomach if you eat a lot of melons?' causing the owner to laugh out loud. Then, when he confessed, 'I eat tangerines whole. I eat shrimp from head to tail,' Yoo Jae-suk reveled, 'Jung Joon-ha eats that way too,' eliciting bursts of laughter. Meanwhile, Seo Hyun-woo once again surprised everyone with a school nickname. When he mentioned, 'My nickname in school was 'E. coli,' a mix of psycho and fool,' he felt embarrassed and Yoo Jae-suk gasped, 'That was really strong,' which prompted laughter from everyone.
The first game was 'Water Bottle Stacking.' Seo Hyun-woo succeeded in the first challenge, heating up the atmosphere. When Seo Hyun-woo exclaimed, 'This is the first time I've succeeded at something like this,' Yoo Jae-suk remarked in astonishment, 'Isn't he a gambler?' As Yoo Yeon-seok passed the second stage on his third attempt, Kang Ha-neul could not hide his excitement, worriedly asking, 'You won't stack the bottles on top of each other, will you?' which made Yoo Yeon-seok burst into laughter. Even after Seo Hyun-woo and Yoo Yeon-seok succeeded in the third stage on their fourth attempt, Yoo Jae-suk praised, 'They're masters.'
At that moment, Seo Hyun-woo caught attention with his unexpected brainy side. He mentioned, 'I entered college as an English major but dropped out, and I urgently prepared for practical exams to enter Hanseo University.' After Yoo Yeon-seok remarked, 'Hyun-woo, I can see your glasses again. It's different from Jae-suk's,' Yoo Jae-suk protested, 'Are you saying I need facial protection?' In response, Yoo Yeon-seok cheekily replied, 'You can't take off your glasses, can you? Hyun-woo did it for studying,' causing more bursts of laughter. Meanwhile, Kang Ha-neul attracted attention by confessing his claustrophobia. He explained, 'Even when I take the packed subway, I have to rest at the next station and get back on,' and added, 'It's getting worse these days, making it tough to shoot 'Wreckers.' It's a perfectly designed space, so every time we cut, I have to lower the window, go outside, and then raise it again as I get back on set,' sharing his hidden struggles.
The second spare time owner the four met was airline staff. The game they challenged for the owner was 'Carrier Curling.' From the start of practice, Seo Hyun-woo shouted, 'Yung-mi!' and got deeply immersed in the task. Riding on this momentum, he succeeded in the first stage with a pushing technique for the carrier, prompting Yoo Jae-suk's admiration, 'He's a gambler, a real gambler,' adding, 'Today, we're in good form.' As a result, their teamwork led to a stunning success in the second stage on the fourth attempt. The owners exclaimed 'Stop at the second stage,' even with seven attempts remaining, leaving everyone astonished. Seo Hyun-woo expressed excitement, saying, 'I just learned I have a talent for games!' while Kang Ha-neul enthusiastically stated, 'Next time, I want to request 'Whenever Possible.'
