Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok of "Whenever Possible" have made a splendid return with an even stronger chemistry and passion.
Broadcast on the 11th, SBS's "Whenever Possible" recorded a peak viewership rating of 4.8%, 3.8% for households in the metropolitan area, and 1.1% for the 2049 demographic, claiming first place across the board in its time slot for both household and 2049 ratings. It marked an increase compared to the premiere of the previous season, signaling an auspicious start for home viewers.
In the broadcast of this day, the two MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with guests actor Hwang Jung-min and Jung Ho-yeon, visited Jungnang-gu, Seoul, to fill the spare moments with laughter. Yoo Jae-suk greeted viewers by saying, "Thank you for waiting for such a long time," and boasted an even tighter "Two-Yoo MC" chemistry by teasing Yoo Yeon-seok over his "SBS Special Award," calling it a "whipping award."
Meeting the first gap owners, a trio of best friends from Daewon High School, the four challengers took on the "Dumbbell Pong" game. In particular, a new "Gap Chance" was added starting this season, allowing them to draw one of five chance cards mixed with lucky and unlucky options, adding thrilling tension.
They swiftly succeeded up to stage 2, but unfortunately fell short at stage 3. Notably, Jung Ho-yeon showed exceptional competitive spirit by telling Yoo Jae-suk, "Just throw one," proposing a thorough results-oriented strategy that brought laughter. Yoo Jae-suk also burned with determination, saying, "I will make history with a single ball," but unfortunately failed to break the school's jinx.
Meanwhile, Jung Ho-yeon surprised everyone with her extraordinary "game geek" energy. Jung Ho-yeon revealed her gaming fanatic side, rattling off a list of desired games while sharing, "Even during the filming of 'Squid Game,' I frequently bet on coffee with Director Hwang Dong-hyuk," and added, "I want to play games again quickly." When Jung Ho-yeon even scaled up the stakes by suggesting, "Let's play a game for our production crew's snacks," Yoo Jae-suk raised a white flag, saying, "Ho-yeon loves games too much," causing an outburst of laughter.
In the subsequent meeting with the second gap owners, a trio of mothers from a night school, sharp and witty talk filled with life experience exploded. The set turned into a sea of laughter due to the mothers' straightforward talk: "We couldn't withdraw money because we didn't know Hangeul, but now we can't withdraw money because we have no money." In the chalk flicking game, Yoo Jae-suk played an active role as the ace to heat up the atmosphere, but it unfortunately concluded with a failure at stage 3.
Blending the new chance system, Jung Ho-yeon's fierce competitive spirit, and the colorful wit of the gap owners to deliver great joy to viewers, "Whenever Possible" airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
