SBS 'Whenever Possible' (directed by Choi Bopil/written by Chae Jina) is a variety show that brings luck through brief moments of spare time encountered in daily life. On the 32nd episode aired on the 29th (Tuesday), the two MCs Yoo Jaeseok and Yoo Yeonseok, along with 'friend of the space' Jo Yeojeong and Jo Jungseok, visited the vicinity of the area, filling viewers' spare time with non-stop banter.
That day, Jo Jungseok started the program with laughter, engaging in a talk with Yoo Jaeseok and Yoo Yeonseok, whom he had not met in a while. When Jo Yeojeong complimented that "Yeonseok came to visit during filming. He has a great personality," Yoo Jaeseok and Jo Jungseok, as if in agreement, remained silent with an 'umm.'. When Yoo Yeonseok, feeling wronged, asked, "Why aren't you complimenting me?" Jo Jungseok replied, "I have nothing to add. I didn't deny it," while Yoo Jaeseok playfully teased, "If Yeojeong said it, that's enough. Everyone in the world knows," bringing laughter to the scene.
The first place the four visited was a public institution responsible for international cooperation. The gap game involved playing 'jegi' with a Vietnamese traditional game called 'Taga.' Since it was a mission that Jo Jungseok had regretfully failed during Season 1, and Jo Yeojeong confessed she was a beginner, the tension heightened. Yoo Jaeseok, Yoo Yeonseok, and Jo Jungseok succeeded at the first stage of the bonus coupon round with the host. Before the second stage, the four sweated as they entered intense practice, with Jo Yeojeong even borrowing Yoo Jaeseok's boots, igniting her motivation. However, they had to accept a disappointing outcome, and Jo Jungseok humorously lamented to the production team, "Yeojeong was the only one who shouted out the challenge," creating laughter until the end. The space owner presented Jo Yeojeong with an MVP gift, saying, "Thank you for your hard work," adding warmth to the moment.
During a brief lunch break, brothers Yoo Jaeseok and Jo Jungseok made everyone laugh by teasing their younger brother Yoo Yeonseok. Jo Jungseok reminisced about how he first met Yoo Yeonseok, saying, "We did the movie 'Architecture 101' together. Yeonseok is an annoying senior." Yoo Jaeseok exploded in over-the-top anger, saying, "Why did you bring Suzy into it? That's the problem!" Yoo Yeonseok defended himself, saying, "I followed the script. I was a rookie too," trying to make his case. Yoo Jaeseok playfully retorted, "You should have told the director," and Jo Jungseok immediately punctuated, "That's realistic advice," causing uproarious laughter. Furthermore, during Yoo Yeonseok's thoughts about how to eat noodles these days, Jo Jungseok immediately interrupted, saying, "Calculating that makes it unfun," resulting in Yoo Jaeseok agreeing, "You guys are really serious, truly serious," refreshing their legendary chemistry.
The final gap location was a cheerleading academy. The game to bring luck to the mother-daughter owners who have been cheerleading for two generations was 'Tossing Shoes,' where they throw slippers onto yoga blocks on a balance ball. At that moment, Jo Jungseok noticed the elasticity of the slippers. He said, "We have to find the soft ones," and, after finding the optimal slippers, he succeeded in both the first and second stages, prompting Yoo Jaeseok to cheer, "Jungseok is going wild." Eventually, when the space owner hesitated about taking on stage three, Jo Jungseok asked, "Do you want to decide after watching me?" and impulsively held a showcase, succeeding ostentatiously and bringing laughter to the scene.
Afterwards, the four faced a challenge in stage three, receiving a mission that 'two out of four must succeed.' Jo Jungseok dove right into another 'soft slipper' search, bringing even more laughter. Ultimately, with two soft slippers discovered by Jo Jungseok, both he and Yoo Yeonseok succeeded in stage three one after the other, and Yoo Yeonseok presented Jo Jungseok with the slippers, saying, "These are lucky shoes. Wear them at the stage greeting," bringing laughter until the very end.
Broadcasting on SBS at 9 p.m. on Tuesday.
