‘Whenever I have time,’ Nam Goong Min, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Lee Seol successfully completed their entertainment adaptation period with the chemistry of a rookie entertainment trio.

SBS ‘Whenever You Have a Chance’ (directed by Choi Bo-pil/written by Chae Jin-ah)is a ‘gap strategy’ variety show that presents luck in the brief gaps in everyday life.In the 26th episode that aired on the 17th, the 2 MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with ‘gap friends’ Nam Goong-min, Jeon Yeo-bin, and Lee Seol, visited the Yeouido Hangang Cruise and drum practice room to present a sincere moment of luck.

Accordingly, the 26th episode of ‘Whenever You Have Time’ recorded a peak viewership rating of 5.3%, 3.7% in the metropolitan area, 3.3% nationwide, and 1.4% in the 2049 age group, taking first place among all Tuesday entertainment and dramas in the 2049 age group, demonstrating its unrivaled power as the strongest Tuesday entertainment show.(Based on Nielsen Korea)

On this day, Nam Goong Min, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Lee Seol caught everyone’s attention with their tense and rookie appearances in the entertainment industry from the beginning.Jeon Yeo Bin surprised everyone by suddenly shouting during the talk, “Can we stop for a moment? Seol, please fix your hair.”

When Yoo Yeon-seok stepped forward to explain, “There is no stopping in entertainment.Actors have this habit because of NG, “ Jeon Yeo-bin made everyone laugh by offering a hearty apology, saying, “The camera keeps rolling.I’m sorry.”

The owner of the gap was the captain of the Han River Cruise.He revealed his past relationship with Yoo Jae-suk through a variety show shoot, and impressed everyone with his professional craftsmanship that has protected the Han River for 40 years.The first game was ‘Flying Spoon’, where you bounce a spoon and put it on a plate.

Nam Goong Min advised Lee Seol, “Seol, you should hit her,” but he himself swung and screamed, “It’s so embarrassing,” causing everyone to laugh.

However, with Yoo Jae-suk’s clean hitting, he succeeded in completing the first stage in just one try.Then, it was Nam Goong-min’s turn, and when Lee Seol held out a spoon and said, “Senior, I warmed it up!” , Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok didn’t miss the opportunity to tease him, saying, “The protocol is amazing,” and eventually Yoo Yeon-seok made Yoo Jae-suk laugh by saying, “Hyung, I warmed it up too.”

After that, Yoo Jae-suk was caught up in excitement as he succeeded in the second stage of the bonus coupon, but the owner of the gap shouted stop with 8 attempts left, recording the shortest stop time ever.Nam Goong-min was surprised and said, “This isn’t the way it used to be.Entertainment shows have changed a lot,” making Yoo Jae-suk burst out laughing.

Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Nam Goong-min, Jeon Yeo-bin, and Lee Seol had lunch while savoring the taste of clean success.They walked around Yeouido and shared painful memories from their rookie days.Yoo Yeon-seok said, “When I go to an audition, I think it’s going to be a strange thing, but it doesn’t work out.On the contrary, there were times when I went with the mindset of ‘I don’t know, ‘and it turned out well.”

When Nam Goong Min nodded and said, “I also auditioned a lot, but I failed all three open auditions and barely got a call back.So when I see the actors who survived until now at award ceremonies, I think,’ You still survived, too.’” Yoo Jae Suk added warmth by sympathizing and saying, “That kind of camaraderie really develops.You go through hard times together.”

The second meeting with the owner of the gap took place in the drum practice room.The owner of the gap, who was a drummer of Cho Yong-pil and the third generation of Great Birth, heated up the atmosphere by performing an impromptu live performance with Yoo Jae-suk at’ Hapjeong Station Exit 5 ‘.The second game, which started with one bonus coupon, was’ Bukchigi Bakchigi ‘where you have to hit the drum and flip all the coins on the drum.Jeon Yeo-bin easily succeeded in the first stage on her third try and was reborn as’ Hand of God ‘.

However, the second stage was a difficult mission that everyone had to succeed at.Even the owner of the gap who had been holding drumsticks his whole life missed the chance to get the bonus coupon.Finally, when the final challenge came, Nam Goong Min prepared with a desperate look, saying, “I didn’ t know I would risk my life here,” and then shouted desperately to Yoo Jae Suk, “If this round is going to fail, then let it be you, hyung!” causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Unfortunately, the game ended in the second stage.When Nam Goong Min blushed and said, “Is this how it’s supposed to be?” in regret, the owner of the gap consoled him with a warm hug, soothing his regret.With this, Nam Goong Min, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Lee Seol acted as a trio of rookie entertainers who were clumsy but sincere in everything, giving small laughter and good luck to the owners of the gaps in Yeouido.

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.
