SBS 'Whenever Possible' (directed by Choi Bo-pil, writer Chae Jin-a) is a variety show called "gap-time conquest" that gives luck during brief spare moments encountered in daily life. In the episode broadcast on Tuesday the 20th, the two MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok and "gap friends" NMIXX Haewon and Seol-yun visited the KAIST film club, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, and Daejeon Girls' High School students, spreading positive energy.
On that day, NMIXX's Haewon and Seol-yun showed exceptional enthusiasm from the start. In particular, Haewon, who is considered a next-generation variety idol, playfully introduced Seol-yun as "Seol-yun is one of Daejeon's three major specialties," and with her timely reactions she made Yu Jae-seok beam. When Haewon complained, "I even do reactions at my parents' house," Yu Jae-seok empathized, saying, "I do that at home too," raising expectations for the duo's comedic chemistry.
The first gap hosts visited by Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Haewon and Seol-yun were the KAIST film club. Haewon and Seol-yun held an impromptu fan meeting for a "true NMIXX fan" gap host, creating a warm moment. The gap mission was "the ping-pong ball dash." On a tilted table, rolling ping-pong balls that sink into two holes succeed. Seol-yun and Yoo Yeon-seok applied a mathematically analyzed success method from the gap host and cleared stage 1 on their third attempt. The gap host, in a bonus coupon opportunity, gave up the ace Yoo Yeon-seok to be with NMIXX, causing laughter. Unfortunately, they stopped at stage 2. At that moment, when Haewon left a witty encouragement message to the gap host saying, "Noona will wait at the concert," Yu Jae-seok admired the extraordinary fan service, saying, "Haewon is no joke."
The second gap host was a researcher at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Yu Jae-seok vowed, "Our win rate in Daejeon is now 0%. We must succeed," and the next mission, the 'ONE magnet' game, required placing four magnets while avoiding two marble magnets within a limited circle. At this time Seol-yun displayed the ability to freely control the magnets, passing both stages 1 and 2 in just two tries and heating up the atmosphere. Yu Jae-seok gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Seol-yun is a magician." Even as the circle size shrank and danger approached, Seol-yun's strategy of moving the magnets one by one achieved the first-ever stage 3 success in Daejeon. Yu Jae-seok expressed his emotion, saying, "Finally did it in Daejeon." In addition, befitting Daejeon's three major specialties, Seol-yun even scouted a knife-cut noodle restaurant in advance and, considering the waiting time, planned from plan A to C, pleasing Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok with her savvy.
The final gap hosts in Daejeon were high school seniors. At that time Yoo Yeon-seok unexpectedly felt the generation gap, provoking laughter. The gap host mentioned an unexpected connection, saying, "(I heard Yoo Yeon-seok was born in '84, but my dad was born in '82.'" Yoo Yeon-seok wittily replied, "Instead of selling milk, I'm earning pet food money," which made Yu Jae-seok burst out laughing. The mission to add to the students' memories was "Goodbye! High school." If all four people flip their student IDs by flicking them with their fingers, it's a success. But when one person succeeded the next failed, and Haewon couldn't hide her nerves, saying, "The pressure is tremendous." Seol-yun kept encouraging, "You can do it!" but unfortunately they stopped at stage 1. The students expressed thanks, saying, "We gained memories more precious than prizes," leaving a warm afterglow.
Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Haewon and Seol-yun shattered the jinx by achieving the first-ever stage 3 success in Daejeon with positive energy that never gave up. In particular, Haewon and Seol-yun filled Daejeon's spare moments with cheerfulness, demonstrating idol-level variety skills and savvy in smooth talk with the gap hosts and fully playing the role of mood makers.
