Billed as a quick-hit show that slips surprise luck into the little gaps of everyday life, "Whenever Possible" has ruled Tuesdays since its April 2024 launch―consistently No. 1 in its time slot in the Seoul capital region and in the key 20?49 demo. Its most recent broadcast (Episode 35) posted a 5.1% rating in the capital area and 4.5% nationwide, topping all Tuesday entertainment shows among 20-49 viewers. Each season has wrapped on a new series high.
Ahead of the Season 4 premiere on Tuesday, Dec. 16, buzz spiked as Lee Je-hoon and Pyo Ye-jin were announced as the inaugural “Teum Friends”―the show’s guest collaborators―promising whip-smart banter and a competitive streak for a full-on dopamine rush. Keeping the momentum, Shin Si-a and Choo Young-woo will follow as the second guest duo. Fans are especially curious about Choo’s reunion with host Yoo Jae-suk; Choo first drew attention for an interview with Yoo while studying at K-ARTS, and viewers are eager to see their back-and-forth this time.
Also back are the “Two Yoo” MCs, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, whose effortless tag-team chatter anchors the show. Expect up-close, on-the-ground conversations with the show’s regulars and its signature in-the-moment missions that ratchet up the tension―set to heat up the winter lineup.
As a thank-you to viewers, a limited-time giveback promo is rolling out across three Seoul spots―Pio Pio (Hapjeong), Queens Boulevard (Dogok) and Nokgi Jeone Natjeom (Seongbuk)―where customers will receive a “Teum Lucky Ticket” redeemable for a surprise drink. The event is a special collaboration with the show’s longtime regulars.
Back after four months, "Whenever Possible" is poised to slip right back into viewers’ Tuesday-night in-between time.
The healing-variety favorite "Whenever Possible" premieres Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 9 p.m. KST on SBS.
