Actor Hwang Jung-min, who has been embroiled in a private life controversy, will appear on the variety show as scheduled.
The first episode of SBS variety show "Whenever Possible," which premieres at 9 p.m. on the 11th (Tuesday) (directed by Choi Bo-pil/writer Chae Jin-ah), season 5's opener will depict 'To You' MC Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok and guests Hwang Jung-min and Jung Ho-yeon searching for spare moments in Jungnang District, Seoul.
On the day, Jung Ho-yeon appeared in a leather jacket and said, "It feels like I stepped into the TV right now," kicking off her distinctive variety show sensibility. Before a game, she firmly put the brakes on the confident Yu Jae-seok, saying, "Senior, you have to play the game based on the results you achieved," and when Yoo Yeon-seok muttered, "a blood sugar spike has come," she quickly retorted, "Senior, did you say you're sleepy during the broadcast?" performing a swift 'jab-dori' that left the set in laughter.
In particular, Jung Ho-yeon revealed herself as an extreme "game nerd," making even Yu Jae-seok wave his hands. Jung Ho-yeon confessed her extraordinary love of games, saying, "Even while filming the movie 'Hope,' Director Na Hong-jin and I would play a coffee-brewing game whenever we were bored," and whenever there was a chance she would say, "Let's play our game again," "Buy one for the staff too," expanding the play area and showing the side of a 'dopamine girl.' Eventually, when she sent a longing look even in front of a street crane game, Yu Jae-seok reportedly surrendered, saying, "There was a reason Ho-yeon was cast in 'Squid Game Season.'"
Additionally, Jung Ho-yeon said, "My name is 'Jeong-ho-myeon'," revealing her pride in 'myeon love' and fully satisfying the tastes of the self-proclaimed 'myeon nerd' Yu Jae-seok. Jung Ho-yeon's tailored performance, which lifts and drops variety veterans Hwang Jung-min, Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok, is a viewing highlight.
Although recent private life issues related to Hwang Jung-min have surfaced, the production team decided to air the premiere as-is while maintaining a neutral stance.
