"Kim Jong-kook's Response Made Me Upset" SEVENTEEN MINGYU Playfully Holds a Grudge in 'Whenever Possible'
Whenever Possible In the upcoming episode of 'Whenever Possible,' SEVENTEEN's MINGYU addresses the 'Kim Jong-kook MINGYU Photo Incident' that left him feeling upset.

The episode, set to air on the 24th on SBS, will feature SEVENTEEN's HOSHI and MINGYU as 'gap friends,' promising to deliver an energetic and high-tension chemistry.

During the recording, MINGYU expressed his disappointment towards Kim Jong-kook.

Actor Yoo Yeon-seok, excited to meet MINGYU, mentioned, "I briefly met with you, MINGYU, via a photo during a game when Jong-kook was on." This reference to a past incident where Kim Jong-kook, despite openly acknowledging his close relationship with MINGYU, failed to recognize MINGYU's photo during a 'Guess the Person' quiz, shouting, "Who is this!"

MINGYU, recalling the broadcast moment, playfully admitted, "I saw that and felt really let down by Jong-kook hyung," causing Yoo Yeon-seok to burst into laughter.

Furthermore, HOSHI and MINGYU experienced a generational gap with elementary students.

When Yoo Jae-suk introduced them saying, "You know SEVENTEEN, right?" a student unexpectedly replied, "My aunt is a fan!" MINGYU, taken aback, managed to respond, "Your aunt...?"

Yoo Yeon-seok quickly smoothed over the situation, joking, "Well, it's been 10 years since your debut," turning the set into a sea of laughter.

MINGYU, reverting to idol mode, sweetly said, "Please thank your aunt for me," showcasing the sensibility of a decade-long idol.

Meanwhile, MINGYU's confidence, rivaling that of Kim Jong-kook, had Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok in stitches.

MINGYU boasted, "I really like being the first. Anything with 'best,' 'strongest,' or 'most' suits me," demonstrating his ambitious introduction.

Yoo Jae-suk acknowledged, "Everyone likes to be the best, but MINGYU has a unique way of showing it," recognizing MINGYU's exceptional boldness.

The anticipation is high to see if MINGYU's boundless enthusiasm will bring luck to the area of Cheorwon in the full episode of 'Whenever Possible.'

Don't miss SEVENTEEN's HOSHI and MINGYU in 'Whenever Possible,' airing on the 24th at 9 PM.
