Yoo Jae-suk proved Yoon Gye-sang's popularity.
The variety show 'Whenever Possible,' which aired on the 22nd (directed by Choi Bo-pil/written by Chae Jin-ah), is a 'gap strategy' variety show that gifts luck in brief moments encountered in daily life, featuring guests Yoon Gye-sang and Kim Yo-han as they visited the Jamsil area to present cheerful laughter and empathy in everyday situations.
In addition, Episode 31 recorded a 1.7% viewership rating among the 2049 demographic and 4.5% in the Seoul metropolitan households.

Particularly, during the last challenge of the second archery game, the household rating peaked at 6.7%, marking a significant milestone. (According to Nielsen Korea)
On this day, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok displayed a warm chemistry with 'national idol' Yoon Gye-sang. When Kim Yo-han said, 'I was born when Gye-sang sunbaenim debuted,' Yoo Jae-suk noted, 'g.o.d united the Republic of Korea,' proving the popularity at that time. In fact, a member of the production team, known as 'Gye-sang's wife,' even verified this support with a cheering stick. In response, Kim Yo-han added, 'I also know about the popularity back then. The first signature I received from a senior in the entertainment industry was from Sunbaenim Gye-sang,' which brought a smile to Yoon Gye-sang's face, and he was humorously caught off guard by Kim Yo-han's comment, 'My mom loves you.'
Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Yoon Gye-sang, and Kim Yo-han first visited a woodworking shop. Yoo Jae-suk, Yoon Gye-sang, and Kim Yo-han bonded with the shop owner, sharing an introspective personality. Yoon Gye-sang revealed, 'I also did woodworking; I challenged it because I could do it alone,' explaining his unique hobby choice, which resonated with the shop owner. When Yoo Jae-suk asked, 'What about Yo-han?' Kim Yo-han replied, 'It's hard when you get attention,' as his ears turned red. Noticing this, Yoo Yeon-seok commented, 'Your ears got really red,' to which Kim Yo-han defensively answered, 'They are naturally red,' looking quite flustered, while Yoo Jae-suk joked, 'Your ears are almost 100 degrees Celsius,' drawing laughter.
The first game was the 'bottle cap domino,' which involved knocking down dominoes using bottle caps. During the game, Yoon Gye-sang accidentally hit the 'Gye-sang's wife production team' and suddenly engaged in a fan strategy, exclaiming, 'I love you, g.o.d!' which turned the scene into a sea of laughter. At that point, Yoo Yeon-seok and Kim Yo-han achieved the first stage successfully on their ninth attempt with a clean hit. However, valuing the challenge over the product, the shop owner's decision to say 'go' led to continuous attempts, eventually resulting in an unfortunate failure at the second stage.
The four, feeling disappointed, took a lunch break. During this time, Yoon Gye-sang revealed an unexpected secret about his beard, surprising everyone. He said, 'It didn't grow until I was 24, but it grew after applying a hair product with Tae-woo.' Yoo Yeon-seok, enviously remarked, 'Male actors have dreams. It's convenient even when doing historical dramas,' and added, 'It was tough when I was doing 'Gu Dong-mae'. I used to eat (my fake beard) while eating.' Meanwhile, Yoon Gye-sang confessed the dilemma of a fitness enthusiast, stating, 'I love working out. I feel like if I work hard on my body, it will go well,' but then admitted, 'But if I build my body, there's no place for it. If I make it too big, I have to lose it. (Acting) only requires roles where I have to lose everything,' which drew laughter.
Lastly, the gap owner they found was a team of archers from the Bangichoi Archery Club. Notably, Kim Yo-han, recalling that he was also a taekwondo representative, showcased some kicks for the juniors and displayed his warm demeanor as a senior while resonating with the discussion about sports. The second game that followed was 'archery.' As Yoon Gye-sang shot consecutive 10s from the start, the children exclaimed, 'He's a legend.' In the third challenge, Yoon Gye-sang and Yoo Jae-suk scored 10s in a row, passing the first stage. However, as the difficulty significantly increased, Yoon Gye-sang and Kim Yo-han expressed, 'I feel like I will dream about this for about 30 years' and 'I'm more nervous than when I'm in a match,' showing their pressure. Though Yoo Jae-suk encouraged them with, 'Let's create a miracle this time,' unfortunately, they returned with a failure.
At that moment, the children comforted the four, saying, 'It's okay.' Kim Yo-han responded, 'I hope to be first in the Olympics. Thank you sincerely for comforting me today.' After a brief farewell, he revealed, 'I also used to be an athlete, and my friends showed such mature sides of themselves,' tearing up and touching the viewers' hearts. Furthermore, Kim Yo-han presented heartfelt gifts he had prepared for his juniors, delivering a moving moment as a caring senior.
Meanwhile, the two MCs, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, present luck in brief moments encountered in daily life in the variety show 'Whenever Possible,' which airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m. on SBS.
