SBS ‘Whenever You Have a Chance’ (directed by Choi Bo-pil/written by Chae Jin-ah), which aired on the night of the 20th, is a ‘niche strategy’ variety show that presents good luck in the brief gaps in everyday life.In the 23rd episode, the 2 MCs Yoo Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with ‘gap friends’ Twice’s Jihyo and Sana, visited a Geumho-dong cafe and a Geumnam Market snack bar to present pleasant, passionate energy.

On this day, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok could not hide their delight at the appearance of Jihyo and Sana, who have already been active for 10 years since their debut.Jihyo smiled and said, “Time flies.It feels a bit strange to have double-digit years of experience,” and showed off her experience as a career idol by saying, “Actually, I’ve been doing something without taking a break for the past 10 years.Recently, I even performed as the opening act for Coldplay.”

Yoo Jae-suk expressed his admiration by saying, “In this cutthroat entertainment industry, it’s amazing to have been in a group for 10 years,” and raised expectations for the performance of Jihyo and Sana, who are full of experience through their seniority.

The first ‘gap owner’ was a cafe located on Jihyo’s regular restaurant street.The gap owner, who greeted her with his 4-year-old daughter, said that he was happy to be able to be with his daughter when she was at her prettiest, which drew sympathy from ‘Naeun’s father ‘Yoo Jae-suk.The first game that appeared was’ Cup Coaster Ping Pong.’

In particular, the family sneakers were featured as a special product, igniting the competitive spirit of the four people.Jihyo was confident saying, “This game feels a bit trivial.I think I can do well,” but as soon as the game was revealed, she suddenly became dark and said, “I’m sorry.It’s not trivial at all,” making Yoo Jae-suk burst out laughing.Sana then said, “I think I can do it,” and when she soon climbed into the game hole, she said, “I’ll wake up first,” and made everyone burst into laughter by offering up bonus coupon time.

After a series of challenges, they succeeded in the first stage.Jihyo was very nervous and asked, “Why am I sweating so much?” and eventually failed the second stage.She consoled herself by giving away goods as gifts “whenever she gets the chance.” Jihyo made everyone laugh by making a reservation for a regular customer, saying, “I’ll come visit(the cafe)often from now on.”

They had lunch before meeting the next ‘niche master’.Sana was so shocked by the niche game she experienced for the first time that she said, “I’m really nervous~” and made Yoo Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok fall over.Jihyo also said, “It’s really different from when I watch it at home.I feel a lot of pressure,” showing her determination to succeed in the next game.

At this time, Jihyo and Yoo Jae-suk revealed their polar opposite daily lives, making everyone laugh.When Jihyo said, “I go for walks a lot.Even when I have nothing to do, I go to a cafe,” revealing that she loves going out, Yoo Jae-suk said, “I like to exercise or lie around at home.I don’t go out unless there’s a camera.I’ve been out enough filming,” revealing his confident homebody daily life, making Jihyo burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, the anecdotes about Jihyo and Sana when they were trainees caught the eye.When Jihyo recalled, “In the past, Sana could only say ‘hello’, “ Sana said, “It wasn’t easy.I even thought about sneaking home in the middle of the night.I wanted to go with Momo, but I couldn’t go because my passport was at the company,” revealing her secret plan to run away from home, making the set burst into laughter.

The second encounter with the owner of the gap took place at a tteokbokki restaurant inside Geumnam Market.The owner of the gap, who has been in the same place for 13 years, said, “A regular customer who has been coming since kindergarten gave me a prize when he became an elementary school student.He also gives me extras without me knowing.”

At this time, Jihyo, who was so desperate for success, put the bonus coupon dice down on the table and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry.I was such a punk.I wanted to do well,” making Yoo Jae-suk roll over in laughter.Starting with 0 bonus coupons, this game was called “Dr.Jjeot Jjeot Quiz.” Jihyo politely complained, saying, “I’m sorry, but could you put(the game board)down a little faster? I’m sorry I can’t see it well,” making everyone laugh.Then, Sana also embarrassed the production staff by using a cheat key, saying, “I told you I’m a foreigner,” drawing admiration from Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok.

In the end, Sana couldn’t control her trembling heart and said, “I think I’m going to hyperventilate!” Thus, she succeeded in the first stage on her sixth attempt.When Jihyo said, “There are still many attempts left,” to liven up the mood, Sana encouraged Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok by saying, “You were in a hurry, right?” regarding their continuous mistakes.However, she ended up making a regrettable mistake in the second stage.However, the owner of the gap said, “There is nothing more precious than you visiting like this,” adding to the meaning of their small but precious relationship.

Meanwhile, the variety show ‘When You Have a Chance’, where MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok give out luck in the brief moments they encounter in their daily lives, airs every Tuesday at 9 PM on SBS.
