Actor Kim Jaewon shared his excitement and determination ahead of his big-screen debut.

Attending the press screening and press conference for the film "Final Interview" held at CGV Yongsan in Seoul on the afternoon of October 28, Kim Jaewon expressed his affection for the project, saying, "This is my feature film debut. Until now, I have greeted audiences through series and dramas. For film, I felt I needed to deliver a detailed performance on a full screen, so I prepared twice as hard. After discussions with the director, we built it scene by scene. Because I prepared so hard, I have a special affection for it."

Kim Jaewon revealed his acting focus, saying, "It was important to make all six people look like the culprit, but I felt that the character Han Jin-woo, whom I play, needed to have different tension in the beginning and the end of the film. While he is an affectionate, delicate, and good-natured person, it was important to capture and express his tense side and decisive side when entering the interview room, as well as the changes after leaving the interview room. I focused on that because I thought it had to be convincing to the audience."

In this film, Kim Jaewon takes on the role of Han Jin-woo, a passionate and kindhearted applicant who struggles to pass the final interview in recruitment for a major corporation.

When asked if there was a character among the six main figures he would like to try playing besides his own role, Kim Jaewon named Jeon Yo-han, played by Kwak Dong-yeon. Kim Jaewon replied, "I think Jeon Yo-han is on the complete opposite side, not only from Han Jin-woo, whom I played, but also from my actual personality. I want to express a character who is different from me using my own face."

"Final Interview" is a film about six applicants gathered in a final interview room who discover mysterious envelopes containing revelations about each of them, leading them to suspect one another and throwing them into chaos. It adapts Japanese author Asakura Akinari's novel "Six Lying College Students" to fit Korean circumstances and sentiments.

The film will be released on November 4.

Actor Jinyoung is set to deliver hard-hitting action in the upcoming film "Fighter."

Produced by Big Punch Pictures and Contents G, and co-produced by Company Black, the movie "Fighter" officially begins filming on October 28.

"Fighter" is a youth crime action film following Hye-seong (played by Jinyoung), an unknown mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter who dreams of making it to the UFC. After taking on a dangerous assignment with his best friend Won-do (played by Kim Min-ho), he becomes entangled in a high-stakes conflict over a cold wallet holding 60 billion won worth of cryptocurrency. When Tae-oh (played by Cha Woo-jin) begins threatening the people he holds dear, Hye-seong faces off against his fiercest adversary to save his friend.

Jinyoung, the actor and former B1A4 member who appeared in the films "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and "The Dude in Me" as well as the series "Sweet Home," takes on the role of Hye-seong. Hye-seong is a character who never lets go of his training despite working at a sauna to pay off debts and cover the hospital bills for his younger sibling, Yoo-seong. Jinyoung is set to showcase authentic, realistic fight action along with Hye-seong's fierce sense of responsibility to protect his family and friends.

Kim Min-ho, who starred in the drama series "New Recruit" and the films "6/45" and "Count," plays Hye-seong's best friend and self-proclaimed manager, Won-do. While struggling to manage an auto repair shop he bought with borrowed funds, Won-do believes in Hye-seong's potential more than anyone else. Practical when it comes to money yet always putting his friend first in a crisis, Kim Min-ho is expected to deliver both deep friendship and warm humor.

Cha Woo-jin, who appeared in the films "The Roundup" and "Men of Plastic" and the series "Nine Puzzles," portrays Hye-seong's greatest foe, Tae-oh. Depicting Tae-oh's calculating and relentless drive to use anyone to achieve his ambitions, Cha raises the tension with intense charisma as he pushes Hye-seong to the brink.

Lee Seol, who starred in the film "A Tour Guide" and the dramas "Between Him and Her" and "One Ordinary Day," joins the cast as Ji-na, a nurse at the hospital where Yoo-seong is admitted. Ji-na gradually grows closer to Hye-seong, sharing a subtle spark of emotion. Alongside Jinyoung, Lee will portray the delicate process of two people cautiously opening their hearts to each other, adding rich emotional nuance to the narrative.

Director Kim Seok-mok is helming the project, generating buzz for his fresh directorial vision. Infusing realistic MMA action with youthful energy and upbeat entertainment, the film is set to bring to life the vibrant friendship and growth of Hye-seong, who chases his dreams, and Won-do, who stands by him on that journey.

"Fighter" is aiming for a release in 2027.

Actor Kim Minha is set to meet global audiences with an intense emotional outburst and a dramatic transformation unlike anything she has shown before.

On the morning of October 28, a press conference for the new Netflix original series "Dead-End Job" was held at Fairmont Ambassador Seoul in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Da-min and creator Han Jun-hee attended the event alongside actors Kim Minha and Lee Hee Jun.

"Dead-End Job" is a survival-horror series set around Spider Labor, a bizarre temporary staffing agency that offers starting pay at 50 times the minimum hourly wage, following a young man named Hyeok-jun (played by Lee Jae-wook) who is sent into nightmarish workplaces.

Kim Minha stars as Ji-yoon, Hyeok-jun's younger sister and a realistic character who fears poverty far more than ghosts. Explaining her reason for choosing the project, Kim Minha said, "When I first read the script, it was a genre I had never seen anywhere before. The stage directions, which required relying on imagination for more than 80 percent, felt fascinating."

Regarding her acting transformation compared to her previous works, she said, "While I played characters who struggled while holding back and suppressing their emotions in projects like 'Pachinko' and 'Light Shop,' Ji-yoon is someone who lets everything out without a filter. I felt I had never really shown such an explosive side, so I had high hopes that I could present a new image."

She continued regarding her similarities to the character, saying, "I was deeply drawn to the line, 'Are you scared of ghosts? Becoming broke is scarier.' I am also scared of poverty and afraid of being unable to set foot in reality. Figuring out how to live well in reality is a daily assignment for me, so I felt that side of her resembles me. Ji-yoon is a mature person who is braver than I am and overcomes her trauma wisely."

Creator Han Jun-hee voiced his strong trust in the actor, saying, "I have been watching actor Kim Minha as a fan since before 'Pachinko.' While she had previously taken on roles with troubled backstories or varied emotional depth, I thought it would be exciting to see her act like a pitcher throwing straight fastballs, just like Ji-yoon, so I cast her."

"Dead-End Job" marks the first full-length series directed by Kim Da-min, who wrote the screenplay for the Netflix series "A Killer Paradox" and drew attention with the film "FAQ." In addition, director Han Jun-hee, who has showcased a solid creative world through Netflix series such as "D.P." and "Weak Hero Class 1," served as the creator. Lee Jae-wook plays Hyeok-jun, a young man who jumps into an ultra-high-paying day-labor gig to make ends meet and encounters bizarre incidents. Go Min-si portrays Yeon-joo, who lingers around Spider Labor and approaches Hyeok-jun, while Kim Minha plays Hyeok-jun's younger sister Ji-yoon, a realist who fears being broke more than ghosts. Lee Hee Jun transforms into the boss who runs the suspicious employment agency Spider Labor.

Consisting of eight episodes, "Dead-End Job" will be released on Netflix at 5 PM on October 30.

Lee Hee Jun plays the boss running Geomi Manpower Agency, where a perilous cost lurks behind exorbitant daily wages. Explaining what drew him to the role, Lee Hee Jun shared, "The script felt so fresh. I loved how it unleashed its imagination using the premise of struggling to make a living and part-time jobs being brutally tough. Working with Director Kim Da-min, whom I had connected with since 'A Killer Paradox,' was a big factor, and I also really wanted to work with Director Han Jun-hee."

Regarding the focus of his performance, Lee Hee Jun added, "Since the jobs come with dangerous costs, I tried to portray him as someone who actually inspires trust, so that people coming in would feel reassured and willingly accept the gigs."

Creator Han Jun-hee joked, "To cast senior actor Lee Hee Jun, I used the tactic of telling him, 'I will make you look cool and sexy.' I wanted to bring out a stylish look with wet hair and dirty-sexy vibes." He went on to praise him, saying, "It was an honor to work with an actor who prepares so thoroughly." Lee Hee Jun quipped in response, "I was instantly won over when he said he would make me sexy," prompting laughter in the room.

Finally, Lee Hee Jun expressed strong confidence in the series, saying, "If you have something early the next morning, do not press play. With its incredible pacing, you won't be able to take your eyes off it."

Actor Lee Jae-wook, who is currently serving in the military, made a surprise appearance via a video message at the press conference for the Netflix series "Dead-End Job."

In the video, Lee Jae-wook greeted everyone, saying, "I play Hyeok-jun, who gets the opportunity for an ultra-high-paying part-time job from the rock bottom of his life. The entire story begins when Hyeok-jun visits a job agency offering a lucrative gig paying 50 times the hourly rate. Fulfilling my national defense duty from where I am, I will be cheering on 'Dead-End Job' along with everyone."

"Dead-End Job" is a survival-horror series that unfolds against the backdrop of "Spider Labor," a strange employment agency offering wages starting from 50 times the hourly rate, as young man Hyeok-jun (played by Lee Jae-wook) is deployed to nightmare-like labor sites.

Director Kim Da-min explained, "Hyeok-jun is a character who evokes a lot of sympathy and feels very grounded in real life. Even while struggling and tumbling through hardship, his fierce tenacity suddenly surfaces when faced with survival, making you want to root for him." Creator Han Jun-hee revealed the reason for casting him, stating, "Actor Lee Jae-wook is an actor with ambivalent charm who can simultaneously express firmness and flexibility, subservience and stubbornness. In this project, you will be able to see hundreds of faces of Lee Jae-wook."

Heartwarming stories from his fellow cast members also followed. Kim Minha, who worked alongside him as siblings in the series, recalled, "Even though Jae-wook is three years younger than me, he took great care of me on set." She added, "We filmed comfortably and enjoyably without any discomfort. The real-sibling chemistry, where we bicker whenever our eyes meet, was captured very well."

Lee Hee Jun also testified to Lee Jae-wook's warm personality, saying, "He must have had a really tough time physically himself, but I was surprised to see how he would bring fans over if it felt hot and look after every single supporting actor."

In "Dead-End Job," Director Kim Da-min, who wrote the Netflix series "A Killer Paradox" and drew attention with the film "FAQ," takes on directing a full-length series for the first time. In addition, Director Han Jun-hee, who has showcased a solid artistic world through the Netflix series "D.P." and "Weak Hero Class 1," took charge as the creator.

Powered by the miraculous hard carry of "Rita's dad" Yoo Yeonseok and the perfect chemistry among Yu Jae-seok, Seo Hyun-jin, and Lee Chun-hee, SBS's "Whenever Possible" has ranked No. 1 in its timeslot for 11 consecutive weeks.

Episode 11 of the SBS variety show "Whenever Possible," which aired on Tuesday, October 27, continued its unstoppable run, recording a peak rating of 6.0% and a household rating of 4.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, according to Nielsen Korea. In addition, it achieved a 1.4% rating in the key 20 to 49 demographic, taking first place among all variety shows broadcast on Tuesday and proving itself as the undisputed leader of Tuesday entertainment.

On this broadcast, the two hosts Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok, joined by guests Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee, filled the spare moments in Nowon District, Seoul. Reuniting on a variety show for the first time in 16 years, Yu Jae-seok and Lee Chun-hee brought laughter with their bickering and quirky antics, while Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee exposed Yoo Yeonseok's exceptional passion for games, filling the scene with laughter.

Meeting the first "gap owners," a mother and son running a pharmacy, the cast took on a game that involved bouncing ping-pong balls with tongue depressors to knock over medicine bottles. With carpenter Lee Chun-hee employing the clever move of fine-tuning the game props for the first time on the show, Yu Jae-seok completed a dramatic turnaround by pulling off a strike to clear level two. Impressed, Seo Hyun-jin showed her admiration, saying, "Seeing you in person, sunbaenim, you really look like an athlete. There is a halo shining behind you."

Next came the "Frisbee Shoosh" game, held for the first-ever retriever dogs to appear as "gap owners," where Yoo Yeonseok's determination shone. Seeing the earnest eyes of the retrievers longing for snacks, Yoo Yeonseok fired up his enthusiasm, saying, "We definitely have to succeed today." On his seventh attempt, Yoo Yeonseok created a miraculous "three-in-one" shot by knocking down all three traffic cones with a single frisbee throw, dramatically clearing level two and achieving great success by gifting the retrievers a snack cart and matching group outfits.

Immediately after the broadcast, viewers responded enthusiastically with comments such as "Yoo Yeonseok's three-in-one shot gave me goosebumps," "Seo Hyun-jin's variety sense is so delightful and cute," and "Watching the dog party was pure healing the entire time."

Former BIGBANG member SEUNGRI (36, legal name Lee Seung-hyun) is set to become a father in January next year.

On October 28, Ilgan Sports quoted SEUNGRI in a report stating that his non-celebrity wife is currently pregnant and due to give birth early next year.

SEUNGRI's side stated, "My wife and I are legally a married couple, of course, and the claim that 'we got married because she was pregnant' is not true." They added, "We are not considering a wedding ceremony at this time." The couple is currently focusing on prenatal care. SEUNGRI's wife is known to be a non-celebrity in her 20s.

In August, SEUNGRI was sued on allegations of threatening and assaulting another customer at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. In a statement released on October 23, attorney Yoon Jae-bin of the law firm Surim, who represents SEUNGRI, denied the allegations, stating, "It is true that he picked up a soju bottle, but he never swung or struck anyone with it," adding that he would faithfully participate in the investigation.

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" is on an unstoppable run, ranking fifth among SBS's all-time Friday-Saturday drama viewership ratings in just six episodes.

"Doctor X: Mafia in White" (hereinafter "Doctor X: Mafia in White") is an exhilarating medical noir drama depicting the exploits of Dr. X Gye Soo-jung (played by Kim Ji-won)—the "crazy Gye of the operating room"—who breaks through massive absurdities with genius surgical skills that know neither failure nor compromise.

According to Nielsen Korea, the most recently aired Episode 6 of "Doctor X: Mafia in White" broke its own viewership record once again, recording a peak rating of 21.3%, 19.5% nationwide, and 19.2% in the Seoul metropolitan area. This was not only first place in its time slot, but also an unrivaled No. 1 across all weekly miniseries.

In particular, it drew attention by climbing to fifth place among SBS's all-time highest-rated Friday-Saturday dramas in just six episodes. Based on nationwide ratings, it proved its formidable upward momentum by ranking fifth behind "The Penthouse: War in Life 2" (29.2%), "Agent Kim Reactivated" (23.1%), "The Fiery Priest" (22.0%), and "Taxi Driver 2" (21.0%).

The excitement of the original broadcast carried over to reruns as well. The rerun aired on October 24 recorded a nationwide rating of 6.8%, surpassing the original broadcast figures of most miniseries.

It is also sweeping buzz metrics. In the "Favorite Video Programs of October 2026" survey released by Gallup Korea on October 27, "Doctor X: Mafia in White" ranked first overall with a 9.8% preference rating, and it also maintained the top spot for two consecutive weeks in the "Most Anticipated TV-OTT Buzzworthy Titles of the Week" survey announced on October 26 by research and data consulting firm PMI.

At the center of this craze are the unmatched character appeal of Kim Ji-won as Gye Soo-jung—who prioritizes patients' lives above all and stands up against power—and the satisfying, fast-paced narrative. Added to this are the passionate performances of trusted veteran actors including Lee Jung-eun, Son Hyun-joo, Kim Woo-seok, and Kim Young-min, delivering overwhelming immersion.

Episode 7 of "Doctor X: Mafia in White," which has established itself as the biggest buzzworthy hit of the second half of 2026 by capturing both viewership ratings and buzz, will air on Friday, October 30, at 9:50 PM.

Actor Cho Jung-seok showed off his deep affection for his wife, Gummy, while sharing the behind-the-scenes story of his massive box-office hit "My Daughter Is a Zombie."

In the upcoming third episode of the SBS variety show "The Great Hang-jun," airing on Thursday, October 29 at 10:20 PM, actor Cho Jung-seok makes a guest appearance to engage in a delightful battle of wits with director Jang Hang-jun.

During the recent recording, Cho Jung-seok drew attention when discussing his role in "My Daughter Is a Zombie," considered the biggest Korean box-office hit of 2025, by revealing, "Starring in the movie 'My Daughter Is a Zombie' was all thanks to Gummy." He proved how blessed he is in marriage by sharing that he decided to take on the film following his wife Gummy's enthusiastic recommendation.

In response, director Jang Hang-jun joined the friendly competition of praising their wives, saying, "When I received the offer to direct 'The King's Warden,' I also only did it because writer Kim Eun-hee told me to do it". A studio-wide wave of laughter erupted as the two completed an unexpected "parallel theory of being blessed with great wives," having both achieved great success with the help of Korean music icon Gummy and thriller maestro Kim Eun-hee.

Cho Jung-seok also opened up about his devoted fatherly side toward his two daughters who take after him, saying, "My first daughter looks just like me, and my second daughter resembles me even more." He drew roaring laughter by revealing that he pours his masterclass acting skills into playing princesses with his daughters.

He continued, "When Gummy makes the tolling sound, 'Dong, dong,' our daughter acts along, saying, 'Oh no, Prince, I have to go.' When I quickly grab her wrist and say, 'Wait, it's only 11:30. Don't go yet,' she loves it so much." He then added, "I was banned from playing the monster because my acting was too realistic," drawing another round of laughter.

Cho Jung-seok's appearance—highlighting sweet behind-the-scenes moments with his wife Gummy and the lively parenting life with his two lookalike daughters—will air on "The Great Hang-jun" on Thursday, October 29 at 10:20 PM.

Kim Byung-hyun and Lee Bong-won dreamed of going global.

The episode of SBS's "You're My Destiny" broadcast on October 27 depicted Kim Byung-hyun preparing for Oktoberfest alongside Lee Bong-won.

On this day, Kim Byung-hyun produced 30,000 sausages and pork hocks (haxen) for the Korean festival inspired by Germany's Oktoberfest, which is counted among the world's top three festivals.

He then reached out to Lee Bong-won to develop new menu items for the festival. Inspired by pairing jjamppong with sausages, he asked Lee Bong-won to create new sausage and haxen sauces utilizing Chinese cuisine.

In response, Lee Bong-won carefully devised various dishes. He prepared kkanpung haxen, sweet and sour sausage, and sausage tortillas.

To finalize the menu, the dishes underwent an evaluation by the event's general representative and the chefs in charge. The dishes had to pass their judging to be approved as the final menu.

The judges did not hold back their praise for the sausage and haxen dishes created by Lee Bong-won. They drew attention by unanimously selecting the kkanpung haxen as the final special menu item.

Then came the day of the event. Kim Byung-hyun and Lee Bong-won busily sold sausages and haxen, selling out their daily target amount in just three and a half hours. Notably, Kim Byung-hyun's sausages and haxen ranked first and second in sales among all menu items, drawing admiration.

Also on this day, wanting to check if going global was truly possible, Kim Byung-hyun invited special guests. They were comedian Kim Hye-sun and her family. Kim Byung-hyun warmly welcomed Kim Hye-sun, who arrived with her German husband and German parents-in-law.

He served food to Kim Hye-sun's parents-in-law, who had lived in Berlin for 70 years, and asked for their honest evaluation. In response, Kim Hye-sun's parents-in-law praised the food, saying, "It's tender and delicious. It's a fantastic taste. It melts before you even chew."

In particular, they evaluated Kim Byung-hyun's sausage as tasting like German sausage and drew attention by asking if it could be ordered online.

Lee Bong-won's specially prepared kkanpung haxen also sold out that day, bringing bright smiles to both CEOs.

After the entire event ended, the two checked their daily sales. Having exceeded their target sales by selling around 1,500 sausages and around 700 haxen, smiles did not leave their faces, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, actor Lee Hyo-jung and his son, actor Lee You-jin, appeared. Just as viewers were puzzled by the appearance of a father and son instead of a married couple, Lee You-jin introduced his bride-to-be, revealing that he is preparing to marry actor Cha Kyeong-eun.

Lee You-jin then said, "There probably isn't another household where the groom's father makes such a fuss like ours," teasing a tearful pre-wedding family meeting and sparking curiosity about what will happen to them in the next broadcast.

Seo Hyun-jin shared her candid feelings about Yoo Yeonseok, whom she reunited with after 10 years.

On the October 27 broadcast of SBS's "Whenever Possible," the "Two Yoo" duo and their gap friends were shown heading out to meet the gaps in Nowon.

During the broadcast, the gap friends and the Two Yoo duo dramatically succeeded at Stage 2 on their final opportunity during the first gap mission.

In high spirits, the four praised one another as they moved to have a meal. While discussing what to eat, Seo Hyun-jin blamed herself, saying, "How can someone who can't even hit a ball say she's going to eat?" drawing laughter.

The four ended up choosing a menu by taking into consideration the eight constitutions, which Seo Hyun-jin views as important. Yu Jae-seok drew laughter by saying, "Rather than eight constitutions, I have a constitution of picky eating."

After weighing several options, the four selected rice noodles as their menu. In honor of Hangul Day, they decided that the first person to use a foreign loanword during their conversation would pay for the meal.

The four exercised the utmost caution while selecting menu items, carefully picking their words one by one as they continued talking. But at that moment, Seo Hyun-jin unintentionally read a sign, saying, "Water is self-service." Surprised, Seo Hyun-jin quietly shut her mouth. However, the other members pointed out, "We heard that," drawing laughter.

With Seo Hyun-jin designated to pay the bill, the four were able to speak freely and began their meal in an enjoyable atmosphere.

Yoo Yeonseok expressed his delight at reuniting with Seo Hyun-jin in a project after 10 years, saying, "It was so fun because we had already worked together once before."

To this, Seo Hyun-jin said, "Because I know his style, instead of thinking 'Why is he doing that?' I just ended up letting it be." Hearing this, Yoo Yeonseok was flustered, asking, "Did I make you just let it be?"

Seo Hyun-jin drew attention by explaining, "Oppa has long rehearsals and constantly looks for new things. But in doing so, he finds a lot of great things," adding, "However, if you don't know oppa's style, there are times when you end up thinking, 'Why is he doing that?'"

After the meal, the four achieved another dramatic success in their second gap mission. Following their Stage 2 success, the four advised the gap owner to think carefully, saying, "Three chances remaining, one opportunity," and the gap owner shouted "Stop" just as everyone had hoped, bringing about a happy conclusion.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, actors Lee Dong-hwi and Yang Se-jong were teased as the gap friends for the next episode, raising anticipation as they were shown engaging in a competition alongside Yoo Yeonseok for the title of "Yu Jae-seok's favorite younger brother."

Lee Chun-hee shared his disappointment with Yu Jae-seok.

On the October 27 broadcast of SBS's "Whenever Possible," Two Yoo and their "gap friends" were shown visiting gaps of time in Nowon.

During the broadcast, Yu Jae-seok was taken aback by the appearance of Lee Chun-hee, his original favorite younger brother figure. Yu Jae-seok asked Lee Chun-hee, "Chun-hee, how long has it been since you were on a variety show?" to which Lee Chun-hee drew attention by answering, "It's been five years since I last saw you, hyung."

Lee Chun-hee then updated everyone on his recent life, saying, "I've been doing YouTube, going camping, and living like that." Yu Jae-seok also introduced Lee Chun-hee as someone running a furniture and camping-related company with his younger sibling.

At this, Seo Hyun-jin said, "It's a brand I frequently use, so I went up to him and told him I'm a fan." Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok chimed in, "Chun-hee started woodworking as a hobby on his own, and it turned into a career."

Lee Chun-hee then voiced his disappointment, saying, "It's been more than ten years since then, and hyung, you only ever say you'll come hang out at the workshop and haven't come even once." Yu Jae-seok explained, "I have to know where it is to visit," to which Lee Chun-hee put on a genuinely hurt expression and said, "Every time, I tell you to drop by whenever you're passing by, but you never came."

Yu Jae-seok then comforted Lee Chun-hee, saying, "Chun-hee, I'll go next year. My schedule is packed this year, so I can't." Having secured a commitment that he would definitely visit, Lee Chun-hee candidly admitted, "Actually, though, after running the company for 13 years, I stepped down last year. I couldn't handle doing both," explaining that his passion for acting led him to step away from his other venture.

Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok made a bewildered face and said, "You left the company, so why are you telling me to come visit?" to which Lee Chun-hee innocently replied, "If you go, hyung, I can visit after a long time, too," drawing laughter.

Close friends of the MCs appeared as Teum Friends.

On the October 27 broadcast of SBS's "Whenever Possible", the "Two Yoo" duo and their Teum Friends were shown heading out to meet the spare moments of Nowon.

During the broadcast, Yoo Yeonseok stated that he knew exactly who today's Teum Friends were. When asked why, Yoo Yeonseok drew attention by revealing, "We recently worked on a project together."

Soon, the identities of the Teum Friends were revealed. Today's Teum Friends were actors Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee. Arriving while jogging, the two warmly exchanged greetings with the MCs.

Noticing Yoo Yeonseok's shorter haircut, Seo Hyun-jin greeted him warmly, saying, "Oppa, your hair looks so nice cut short." The reason behind their guest appearance was then shared.

Yoo Yeonseok began, "The three of us did a drama called 'Liar'." Seo Hyun-jin added, "It's on a different broadcasting network, but he told us it was totally fine to come on using the oppa card."

Breaking into a sweat, Yoo Yeonseok explained, "Because it's not in the same timeslot." Seo Hyun-jin drew laughter by remarking, "He went around telling us, 'I'm the MC, of course you can come on!' He acted so proud like he had all the power, but here he's taking such a humble stance."

Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok commented, "Every season, he manages to sneak in one of his own projects," to which Yoo Yeonseok responded, "I've been sneaking them in so often that it's getting embarrassing." Seo Hyun-jin then playfully nagged, "Stop doing so many projects. Why do you work on them so often?" and Yu Jae-seok chimed in, "Why do you film dramas like someone is chasing you?" sending everyone into bursts of laughter.
