Jung Hae-in Reveals His Meticulous Planning Side and a Treasured Food Map on 'Whenever Possible'

Jung Hae-in showed off his unexpectedly organized, planner-like side.

On the August 18 broadcast of SBS's "Whenever Possible", actors Jung Hae-in and Heo Sung-tae appeared as gap friends.

In this episode, the Yoo brothers warmly welcomed the guests. Jung Hae-in shared that he has lived in Dongjak-gu for 30 years, prompting Yoo Yeonseok to bring up memories of his own military service days there.

Yu Jae-seok jokingly shuddered, saying, "You talk about your military service and Sejong University without missing a beat." Yoo Yeonseok looked flustered and replied, "Come on, I'm allowed to talk about it, aren't I?"

Yu Jae-seok pointed out, "Sejong University should give you an award. Except for King Sejong, no one has promoted Sejong University as much as Yeonseok." Yoo Yeonseok made everyone laugh by responding, "Actually, I even received an invitation to host the Hangeul Day event."

After failing their first gap mission, the four decided to head out for lunch. Dongjak-gu's own Jung Hae-in took the lead.

Jung Hae-in tracked down a restaurant serving cold buckwheat noodles with pork cutlet. Before heading over, he called the restaurant to check if dining and filming were available.

Yu Jae-seok admired this, saying, "For a P type, Hae-in is quite structured." While on their way, the four spotted a shaved ice shop and decided on their dessert in advance.

However, Jung Hae-in suddenly disappeared. He had run off to the shaved ice shop to check its business hours. Finding out that the hours didn't match their schedule, he expressed his disappointment and quickly tracked down another shaved ice shop.

Arriving at the cold buckwheat noodle and pork cutlet restaurant, Jung Hae-in introduced the spot, saying, "I heard this place was featured on 'Live Information'. It has 1,200 reviews, and it's right around the corner in the next alley," referring to where they would go for dessert.

The Yoo brothers were impressed, saying, "Hae-in really enjoys searching for these kinds of places." Jung Hae-in drew attention by sharing, "When senior Lee Young-ja gave me her Dae-dong Food Map in the past, I was so happy. It's locked in my safe right now."

He explained, "It's handwritten on thick paper, so you can really see the care and effort put into it." Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok remarked, "That just shows how much noona truly cherishes Hae-in."

After finishing their meal, Yu Jae-seok felt so happy about the delicious food that he completely forgot about failing the gap mission. Heo Sung-tae also expressed his gratitude, saying, "It's all thanks to Hae-in."

However, there were no exceptions when it came to paying for the meal. They decided to determine who would pay through a wasabi-water roulette game, hiding water spiked with wasabi.

Jung Hae-in ended up losing the meal bet. The spice was too much to bear, and his eyes welled up with tears, bringing laughter to everyone.

After finishing their meal, the four headed to the shaved ice shop. However, it was packed, and they could not get in. Amidst his struggling colleagues, Jung Hae-in stared intently somewhere, quickly spotted a cup-bingsu shop, and sprinted over. He checked for empty seats first, causing everyone to laugh.

Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast previewed the appearance of Cha Tae-hyun, who visits as a gap friend every season, raising anticipation for the next episode.
