On SBS' Whenever Possible, Yoo Yeon-seok claims a parallel theory with GOT7's Park Jin-Young.
SBS variety show Whenever Possible (directed by Choi Bo-pil/writer Chae Jin-a) is a 'niche attack' variety that gifts luck in the brief pockets of time encountered in daily life. Based on the last broadcast, it recorded a peak rating of 4.9% and 1.3% in the 2049 demographic, ranking first in its time slot for all episodes of season 4 in the 2049 demographic, the 12-week consecutive Tuesday broadcast ranked first among variety shows and dramas (Nielsen Korea metropolitan area). The broadcast on the 31st (Tue) will feature MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok with 'niche friends' actors Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun appearing to deliver healing chat chemistry in Ssangmun-dong.
Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon-seok draws attention by mentioning an unexpectedly similar counterpart. That day, Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun were roaming the Ssangmun-dong area. When a passerby reacted especially strongly to Yoo Yeon-seok alone, saying "Oh my~ so handsome," Yu Jae-seok playfully pouted, saying "Lady, you're being unfair~," drawing laughter.
For a moment, the ball shot up by the ladies turned into an unexpected 'complimentology talk.' Yu Jae-seok said, "Actually, no matter how close you are, compliments like 'handsome' or 'pretty' don't come out often. I'm not the type for empty flattery," and added, "There are colleagues who sometimes make me unintentionally say 'Oh, so handsome,'" piquing interest. In response, Park Hae-soo also chimed in, "I felt exactly that way when I saw Jinyoung of GOT7. I found myself saying 'Your eyes are so pretty' without realizing it," further heating up the talk.
Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon-seok reportedly stirred things up by suddenly claiming a parallel theory with Park Jin-Young. Yoo Yeon-seok suddenly raised his voice, saying, "Jinyoung and I have many similar points," drawing the brothers' attention, and when Yu Jae-seok tried to start teasing with "Do you mean your faces look alike now?" a flustered Yoo Yeon-seok hurriedly explained, "I meant that both of us moved to Seoul from Gyeongsang Province," making the others burst out laughing.
Meanwhile, reports that Yoo Yeon-seok proved the value of his barista certificate on a drama set have piqued curiosity. Previously, Yoo Yeon-seok and Park Hae-soo filmed overseas for the drama Narco-Saints, and Park Hae-soo testified to 'Barista Yoo's' skills, saying, "The coffee Yeon-seok brewed was really tasty." When Yoo Yeon-seok boasted, "I brought my drip coffee tools myself. I have a certificate, don't I?" Park Hae-soo relayed vivid feedback, saying, "Hwang Jung-min hyung and Ha Jung-woo hyung really liked it too," boosting Yoo Yeon-seok's pride.
Yoo Yeon-seok also attracted attention by giving special fan service for the 'Gu Dong-mae real fan' niche owner. In particular, he recreated the viral iconic 'skirt hem scene,' turning the site into a frenzy, raising anticipation for the broadcast of Whenever Possible, which will feature the 2026 version of 'Gu Dong-mae' Yoo Yeon-seok.
Meanwhile, the Tuesday healing variety Whenever Possible, which promises even stronger everyday-close laughter bombardment, airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.<
