A fierce battle for talk time unfolds between agency head Cha Tae-hyun and his agency's actor Jin Ki-joo on "Whenever Possible."
Solidifying its position as a powerhouse Tuesday variety show by consistently ranking high in viewership ratings and OTT buzz, the production team of the SBS variety show "Whenever Possible" released stills ahead of its upcoming broadcast on the 25th, featuring the MCs and guests searching for spare moments in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
On this day, Cha Tae-hyun, living up to his reputation as the entertainment industry's ultimate "too much talker," led the atmosphere from the very beginning of the opening by relentlessly spilling details about his recent updates. However, as Jin Ki-joo—an actor under his agency appearing alongside him—found herself overwhelmed by her talkative boss's momentum and relegated solely to reacting, Yu Jae-seok could no longer bear to watch. Pulling Cha Tae-hyun aside, Yu put the brakes on him, bringing laughter as he said, "Let's hear Ki-joo's voice instead of your stories."
Even after this, as Cha Tae-hyun continued to monopolize the audio, Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok launched a joint effort to stop him. Yu Jae-seok went into dedicated-marking mode to shut Cha Tae-hyun's mouth, while Yoo Yeon-seok provided close care to variety show beginner Jin Ki-joo, passing on tips on how to defend her talk time by telling her, "You must never give a gap in the conversation."
Meanwhile, Jin Ki-joo, who experienced a hardcore variety show training session, initially showed a clumsy, beginner-like charm by walking with her back to the camera, but quickly adapted to the program's dopamine-pumping games with her plucky charm. However, after pouring all her energy into every game, she reached the verge of fainting right after a match, crying out, "What is happening here?" and throwing the set into a wave of laughter.
Raising anticipation over whether Jin Ki-joo managed to successfully safeguard her share of the talk amid agency head Cha Tae-hyun's storm of audio offenses, "Whenever Possible" will air at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, the 25th.
