Since its premiere, SBS’ "Whenever Possible" has dominated the Tuesday variety time slot in the Seoul market and the key 20-49 demo, while co-hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok even took home a Best Couple award at the 2025 SBS Entertainment Awards, proving their standout chemistry. On the upcoming Jan. 6 episode, Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Do-hoon join the duo as special guests, promising a can't-miss clash of quick-witted veterans and rising variety naturals.
Cha storms in with loud-and-proud energy and instantly takes over the room. It’s his fourth visit to "Whenever Possible", and every time he shows up, ratings spike. Spotting him, Yoo cracks, “Here comes the guy who drives me crazy―again,” already trying not to laugh. Cha jokes that his daily schedule now wraps before 3 p.m., then turns to producers: “So you called me because I had a 'gap,' huh?” He even books himself a future cameo: “I’ve got a drama coming in 2027. Keep this show going till then,” he teases, making Yoo grin.
Out on the street, Yoo and Cha trade nonstop zingers. When Yoo casually admits he’s grown to enjoy uphill walks―something he used to tease Kim Jong-kook for―Cha shoots back, “Then people probably find you annoying now, too,” drawing big laughs. And when Yoo Yeon-seok mentions the street used to be a two-way road, Cha pretends to mishear it as a “nobleman’s road” and quips, “Then Jae-suk wouldn’t have been allowed in,” making Yoo wince as Yoo Yeon-seok rushes to clarify he meant “two-way,” not “nobleman,” sending everyone into stitches.
Watching the back-and-forth, Kim Do-hoon finally gets why Cha’s episodes peak in viewership: “He never gives Jae-suk a second to breathe.” Yoo gamely agrees, “Viewers really seem to love it when I lose my cool,” turning the set into a laugh riot.
Kickstarting 2026 with wall-to-wall laughs, Cha Tae-hyun’s fourth run on "Whenever Possible" airs Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 9 p.m. on SBS.
