SBS‘s ‘Whenever You Have a Chance,’ has caught attention by revealing a trailer that features Yoo Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, and their gap friend Park Shin-hye, who have brought even stronger chemistry in their chats.
SBS’s entertainment program ‘Whenever You Have a Chance,’ (directed by Choi Bo-pil/written by Chae Jin-ah) is a ‘niche strategy’ variety program that presents luck in the brief gaps in our daily lives. It was broadcasted over 8 episodes in April and swept the top spot in the same time slot for the 2049 demographic for all episodes, and has been considered one of the most anticipated entertainment programs of the year due to its strong topicality, such as taking first place in the overall 2049 demographic among regular programs on Tuesdays.

In the preview for Episode 9 that was released, the returning 2MCs Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, and the dazzlingly charming ‘Devil Judge’ Park Shin-hye capture attention with their boisterous chemistry.

Yoo Yeon-seok starts a warm comeback by saying, “I‘ve been waiting for you, ‘whenever I get a chance,’,”, but Yoo Jae-suk immediately says, “Don’t tell that lie(?),” and starts to cut off the emotion, making people burst into welcome laughter from the start. At this time, the one who caught Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok‘s attention with an overwhelming laughter decibel was none other than Park Shin-hye. Park Shin-hye seems to be possessed by her character in the drama ‘Judge from Hell’, and her extraordinary aura is foreshadowing a ‘Whenever I get a chance’ version of ‘Devil’s Verdict’, heightening interest as Yoo Yeon-seok is captured being helplessly taken advantage of.
Park Shin-hye rebukes Yoo Yeon-seok‘s joke that elicits laughter(?) by saying “Come to your senses!”, and when Yoo Yeon-seok asks, “Who do you want to lose?”, she bluntly replies “Oppa, oppa” and orders his exit. When Yoo Yeon-seok flails around with a balloon, she erupts in laughter by saying “Development, development”, showing off her refreshing entertainment sense. In addition, Park Shin-hye is shown jumping towards the balloons with a fierce competitive look in her eyes, saying, “I rolled up my pants, now,” raising interest in whether her “hell-bent competitive spirit” will work. Furthermore, Park Shin-hye’s decisiveness and loveliness are shown in the ‘Gap Time’, raising curiosity about how their day will unfold.
As a result, expectations are skyrocketing for the main broadcast, which will contain the chemistry between the 2 MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, and the humorous and entertainment trio of Park Shin-hye, the ‘Friend from Hell’.
Meanwhile, the Tuesday entertainment show ‘When You Have a Gap,’ that citizens will visit in their free time, will be aired for the first time on Tuesday, October 15th at 10:20 PM.
