'Whenever Possible,' Ji Ye-eun declares a 'one-sided 썸' to Yoo Yeon-seok.
SBS variety show 'Whenever Possible,' (directed by Choi Bo-pil, written by Chae Jin-ah) is a "gap-winning" variety that gifts luck in the brief pockets of time encountered in daily life. The broadcast on the 10th recorded a peak viewership rating of 5.6% and a 2049 rating of 1.9% (Nielsen Korea, metropolitan area), ranking first overall among Tuesday dramas and variety shows by 2049 ratings, proving its strong power.
The Feb. 17 broadcast features the two MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok alongside actors Jung Sang-hoon and Ji Ye-eun, showing family-like chemistry as they deliver healing dopamine and gap-time luck around the Ilsan area.
Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun targets Yoo Yeon-seok as a new 썸 partner, drawing attention. What hit Ji Ye-eun's flutter point was Yoo Yeon-seok's kindness. Ji Ye-eun could not hide her smile, saying "What, so sweet!" as Yoo Yeon-seok took care of her, and when they sat side by side on the bus, she began flirting in a mood like a blind date, saying "I enjoyed watching Hospital Playlist so much." When Yoo Yeon-seok asked bluntly, "Do you know the name of my character?", Ji Ye-eun defused it with a coy, "Teacher Gwak Jun-pal?" and a wink, prompting laughter. At one point, when Ji Ye-eun teased, "Aren't you completely fallen for me?" after Yoo Yeon-seok repeatedly made mistakes, Yu Jae-seok cut it off flatly, saying, "Yeon-sik doesn't feel anything," then began teasing Ji Ye-eun, saying, "There are many people in the entertainment industry that Ye-eun likes. The cooking maniac, Miki Kwang-soo, Yoo Hee-gwan," prompting more laughter.
On the same day, Ji Ye-eun added interest by confessing the behind-the-scenes of winning at the 2025 SBS Entertainment Awards. Ji Ye-eun had drawn attention every year with her so-called "pouting acceptance speech" that could not hold back tears at the entertainment awards. Ji Ye-eun explained the reason her emotions welled up at the time: "I cry just seeing the seniors from 'Running Man.' They called me a lot when I was having a hard time," conveying affection. She added, "Jae-seok senior called me a lot," specifically naming Yu Jae-seok and said he made her happy, the report said.
Whether the flirting attack of '썸 master' Ji Ye-eun worked properly and Ji Ye-eun's lovely performance alternating between heart-throbbing moments and laughter will be revealed on 'Whenever Possible.'
