'Whenever Possible' Unites Yoo Jae-suk, Park Sung-woong and Lee Sang-yoon with Nonstop Dad Jokes

"Whenever Possible" host Yoo Jae-suk teams up with actors Park Sung-woong and Lee Sang-yoon to form the self-proclaimed 'Cute Dad Trio.'

Airing March 17, SBS’s "Whenever Possible" brings together the two MCs, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, with Park Sung-woong and Lee Sang-yoon for a laid-back, healing-day stroll around Daechi-dong.

The trio bonds over a flood of dad jokes. When a bowl of ulmyeon (a noodle soup that sounds like “if you cry” in Korean) hits the table at lunch, Lee cracks, “Kids don’t eat well when they’re crying―so they shouldn’t ul-myeon,” kicking off a pun run that makes Yoo Jae-suk and Park Sung-woong jump. Park tries to draw a line, calling Lee a seasoned dad-joke pro―but the puns quickly prove contagious, sweeping up Yoo and Park and sparking big laughs.

Yoo admits, “Don’t dad jokes pop into your head every day?” then suddenly quizzes Park: “What car does Santa hate?” Park nails the answer without missing a beat and confesses, “I actually love dad jokes―I read ‘500 Dad Jokes’ with my son,” sending everyone into stitches.

Even Yoo Yeon-seok―the last line of defense―slowly gets pulled into the trio’s nonstop tit-for-tat, laughing so hard he’s clutching his stomach, according to the show.

Then the 'Cute Dad Trio' channels that energy into an alkkagi showdown―a stone-flicking game played on a Go board―for a Go teacher with 44 years of experience. They’re hyped at first, but the difficulty level has them sweating fast. Park, tall frame and all, hunches in total focus; his hands even shake as he turns timid, cracking everyone up. When Yoo Yeon-seok loosens their shoulders, asking, “Aren’t you a little too nervous?”, Yoo Jae-suk jokes, “I shouldn’t have worn such a stiff shirt,” and the set erupts in laughter.

Can the 'Cute Dad Trio' shake off the nerves and script a miracle? "Whenever Possible" airs Tuesday, March 17, at 9 p.m.
