BLACKPINK's JISOO and TWICE's NAYEON displayed fantastic friendship synergy, securing the No. 1 viewership rating for SBS's "Whenever Possible" for the 13th consecutive week.
According to Nielsen Korea's metropolitan area tally on November 11, the SBS variety show "Whenever Possible," which aired the previous night, recorded a peak rating of 4.9% and a household rating of 3.4%, taking first place overall among variety and educational programs in its time slot for 13 consecutive weeks. Its 20-49 demographic rating also reached 1.3%, defending the top spot among all Tuesday variety shows and continuing its solo dominance.
On this broadcast, JISOO and NAYEON appeared as guests alongside the two MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok, visiting Sanbon-dong in Gunpo to fill in their spare time. JISOO and NAYEON surprised Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok with their unexpected friendship. JISOO showcased her close bond with NAYEON, saying, "We've been close since our trainee days. We eat meals together often."
In particular, when JISOO drew the line by saying, "I lived in Sanbon until I was 10, but the 'daughter of Sanbon' is Kim Yuna unnie," Yoo Yeonseok wittily wrapped it up by saying, "Then JISOO is the second daughter," drawing bursts of laughter. Meanwhile, NAYEON emerged as a "game strategist" combining good luck with a competitive spirit. NAYEON proved herself as a "goddess of good luck" by saying, "They say that if you set my photo as your wallpaper, money comes in," while also raising expectations by showing her extraordinary competitive streak, saying, "I love games. I often make game bets."
In addition, when Yu Jae-seok drank lightly brewed coffee, NAYEON bonded with him by saying she is also part of the "light coffee club," while JISOO added small laughs by revealing her preference for adding extra shots, saying, "At this point, isn't this plum tea?"
The first "spare game" was the "Collapsing Running Shoes" game, where players had to fling a sneaker to knock down running shoe boxes. Yoo Yeonseok, who was normally weak at games using his feet under the moniker "FC Clumsy Feet," burned with determination, saying, "Today of all days, I will blow away the disgrace of my feet," and drew cheers by hitting the boxes on only his second attempt. In their sixth attempt, Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok even succeeded at Stage 2 in a single shot, sending dopamine soaring.
However, in Stage 3, a high-difficulty rule requiring them to avoid the red box appeared, freezing everyone. In the end, they aimed for a comeback with a "two extra shoes" chance card, but unfortunately failed on their 10th attempt.
The second "spare masters" were a mother-daughter fan duo who both love the group TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and the spare game "Catch the Grapes!" took place. JISOO and NAYEON served as one-day fangirl terminology commentators for Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok, who are unfamiliar with fandom culture, and jumped into endless practice with their extraordinary competitive spirits. In a critical situation with only one chance left, Yu Jae-seok and NAYEON dramatically cleared the Stage 2 mission, moving everyone on set.
Yoo Yeonseok was deeply moved, saying, "In the end, the 'second daughter of Sanbon' and the 'goddess of good luck' made it happen," while NAYEON drew laughs until the very end by falling completely for the dopamine of "Whenever Possible," saying, "Please invite me occasionally when you play games."
"Whenever Possible," which achieved miraculous success with JISOO and NAYEON carrying the team, airs every Tuesday at 9:00 PM.
