On the August 25 broadcast of SBS's "Whenever Possible", Jin Ki-joo and Cha Tae-hyun appeared as guest friends.

During the episode, Yu Jae-seok asked Jin Ki-joo, "I heard you've never worked on a project with Yeonseok before." Jin Ki-joo replied, "That's right, we've only met at award ceremonies and places like that."

Hearing this, Cha Tae-hyun burst into laughter as he said, "Ah, award ceremonies. Yeonseok had such a huge hit with SBS's "Phantom Lawyer" this year. I enjoyed it so much too, but because of "Agent Kim Reactivated", this year is pretty much a washout for him. Total washout."

In response, Yu Jae-seok scolded him, saying, "Why are you suddenly bringing up award ceremonies?" while Yoo Yeon-seok looked completely startled and said, "I wasn't even thinking about the Grand Prize (Daesang)."

Cha Tae-hyun then continued to tease Yoo Yeon-seok by saying, "So Ji-sub is a lock for the Grand Prize," prompting Yu Jae-seok to chime in, "It is a bit of a shame, though." Cha Tae-hyun also caught attention by remarking, "Talk about having terrible luck."

When Yoo Yeon-seok mentioned that he received an award at the internal network ceremony and that he was fine with it, Cha Tae-hyun joked, "Well, that basically means you shouldn't even bother showing up at the end of the year," bringing laughter to everyone.
