Attention is focused on whether actor Cha Tae-hyun, known as the "lucky charm" of "Whenever Possible", can finally break 'children's jinx.'
Ahead of its broadcast on the 25th, SBS "Whenever Possible"—which has been sweeping overall viewership ratings and OTT buzz on Tuesdays—released on-site stills featuring hosts Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok alongside guests Cha Tae-hyun and Jin Ki-joo during their visit to Gwangjin-gu for a 'gap' time mission.
On this day, four second-graders in elementary school appeared as the gap owners, putting the cast on edge. This was because whenever child gap owners appeared, the pressure repeatedly led to failure. Yu Jae-seok could not hide his worries, saying, "We're weak when it comes to kids."
The children innocently stated their wish, saying, "We applied because we wanted a Nintendo, and we even dreamed about receiving the gift yesterday." When that exact item actually appeared as the gap game prize, the scene was instantly gripped by tension.
Carrying the children's earnest gazes on his back, Yu Jae-seok gave the game a try but cracked under the pressure, shouting, "Even Santa Claus couldn't give a gift like this," sending everyone into laughter. Cha Tae-hyun also broke into a cold sweat as he felt the intense stares burning into the back of his head, saying, "Things are getting crazy behind me."
However, expectations for a turnaround were raised by the performance of Cha Tae-hyun, who has been dubbed the "official lucky charm" for successfully clearing stage 3 every time he appears on "Whenever Possible". After practicing the magnet flicking game a few times, Cha Tae-hyun showed unusual confidence by asking the production team, "Are you sure it's okay not to raise the difficulty?" It was also reported that even Yu Jae-seok, who received a boost of energy from him, showed unexpected skill during the actual game.
Whether the four people can make the children's "Nintendo dream" come true and shatter the brutal children's jinx will be revealed on "Whenever Possible," airing at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, the 25th.
