On the October 13 broadcast of SBS's "Whenever Possible," actors Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young appeared as guest "Whenever Friends."
On this day, the Whenever Friends and the MCs celebrated successfully clearing stage three of their first mission. They then headed to a nearby Pyongyang cold noodle restaurant recommended by Nam Ji-hyun.
As an alumna who knew every corner of the campus, Nam Ji-hyun drew attention by acting as a one-day ambassador for Sogang University, rivaling Yoo Yeonseok's Sejong University pride.
Nam Ji-hyun, who started as a child actor and is now in her 22nd year in the industry, surprised everyone by revealing her unique debut story. Sharing the behind-the-scenes tale, she stated, "I came from 'Jeonpa Gyeonmunrok.' There was a segment called 'The Age of Innocence' where little kids came out to present quiz questions. A drama director saw me on that show, reached out, and that is how I began acting."
Kim Jae-young, who confessed that he was on the heavier side during his youth, shared, "I started modeling late. I lost about 30 kg before my debut." When Kim Jae-young mentioned that he was fortunate enough to transition into acting afterward, Yu Jae-seok praised his visuals once more, saying, "People always recognize someone with good looks."
Entering the cold noodle restaurant without waiting and eagerly enjoying their meal down to the boiled meat slices, the four decided to draw green onion shreds, with the person pulling the longest piece paying for the meal.
Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok were exempted one after the other, leaving the contest between the two Whenever Friends. After a close duel, Nam Ji-hyun lost.
Nam Ji-hyun coolly covered the bill, saying, "When else would I get a chance to treat everyone?" Yu Jae-seok then bought coffee and dessert, creating a heartwarming moment.
The MCs and the Whenever Friends went on to clear stage three of the second mission as well. The success brought a warm atmosphere, especially highlighted by the active role of Kim Jae-young, who had not been able to shine in the previous mission.
Meanwhile, a preview shown at the end of the broadcast depicted the full story behind Yu Jae-seok canceling a shoot for the first time in 36 years.
Yu Jae-seok raised curiosity for the upcoming broadcast as he bowed his head to apologize and promised a gracious day toward everyone, explaining, "My throat hurt, so I was worried it might be COVID-19 and canceled the shoot, but after visiting the hospital, I was completely fine."
