On SBS 'Whenever Possible,' the 'three dads' Yu Jae-seok, Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun unite through parenting chatter.
SBS entertainment program 'Whenever Possible' (directed by Choi Bo-pil, writer Chae Jin-ah) is a 'gap strategy' variety show that gifts luck between the brief pockets of time encountered in daily life. As of the last broadcast it recorded a peak rating of 4.9% and 1.3% in 2049, ranking first in its time slot for all episodes of season 4 based on 2049, number one among Tuesday-broadcast variety and drama overall for 12 consecutive weeks (Nielsen Korea, capital region). Today's (31st) broadcast features the two MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok with 'gap friends' actors Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun joining to deliver healing chatter chemistry in Ssangmun-dong.
That day Yu Jae-seok, Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun form a realistic parenting bond by talking about their children. Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun are fathers of 6- and 8-year-old sons, respectively. When Lee Heejun said, "Both of us have sons, so we're confident about playing games," Yu Jae-seok expressed special delight as a senior father. The three then launched into a full parenting talk. Lee Heejun admitted, "My son just entered elementary school this time, and I was very moved at the entrance ceremony," revealing the overwhelming emotions of a new father, and Yu Jae-seok strongly empathized, saying, "I cry at kids' entrance and graduation ceremonies." Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun expanded the shared understanding by talking about children who have just begun group life, and Yu Jae-seok said, "Kids get proud and moved by the littlest things," reportedly striking a chord with new fathers' sensibilities.
Amid this, a fierce wife-fanatic battle among the three married men adds interest. When Lee Heejun said, "When my wife and I did a month living in Jeju, my wife is a planner and I'm impulsive, so it was hard," Yu Jae-seok advised, "If you don't listen to your wife, 'a month living' becomes 'a month of fighting'," showing the insight of a marriage senior. The three also bragged about their love for their wives day and night; when Yu Jae-seok opened the topic by saying, "Wives should sleep soundly in the morning," Park Hae-soo chimed in, "I'm afraid my wife will wake up, so I bring a hair dryer and dry my hair. Anywhere with 220V is where I dry my hair," drawing laughter.
When Yoo Yeon-seok was amazed at the three married men's heated 'married talk,' Lee Heejun said, "Yeon-seok hasn't married yet so he wouldn't know, but married male actors have no space at home to read scripts. My rehearsal room is the coach's office at the gym," sharing survival tips for married actors and reportedly drawing empathy from Yu Jae-seok and Park Hae-soo.
How far will the empathy-exploding married men's talk from the 'three dads' Yu Jae-seok, Park Hae-soo and Lee Heejun go, and anticipation for the main broadcast of 'Whenever Possible,' which will capture their nonstop high-end chatter chemistry, is rising sharply.
