Ji Chang-wook expresses his pride on SBS‘s ‘Whenever You Have a Chance,’, saying that he recently purchased a Pokemon T-shirt for 260,000 won through a direct transaction.

SBS’s entertainment program ‘Whenever You Have a Chance,’ (directed by Choi Bo-pil/written by Chae Jin-ah) is a ‘gap strategy’ variety show that presents good luck in the brief gaps in everyday life. The previous 11th episode recorded 3.1% in viewership ratings in the metropolitan area, ranking first in the same time slot, and achieved its own highest and first place in the same time slot with 1.2% in the 2049 demographic, proving the overwhelming power of ‘Whenever You Have a Chance.’.

In the 12th episode, which will air on the 12th (Tuesday), actor Ji Chang-wook will appear as a gap friend and fill the gap time with nonstop tiki-taka with Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok in a pottery workshop and a musical concert hall. Ji Chang-wook attracts attention by revealing that he is a frequent direct transaction user.

On this day, Ji Chang-wook appears particularly delighted when meeting the first gap owner who enjoys direct transactions. Ji Chang-wook turns the scene upside down by confessing, “I also bought a Pokemon Tibutibuseal collection for 260,000 won on Carrot a while ago.” Then he revealed another unique transaction, saying, “Last time, I made a direct transaction for 120,000 won to get a special game skin coupon that they give you if you spend over 50,000 won at the pop-up store.” Yoo Yeon-seok was surprised and said, “You bought a special gift for someone who spends over 50,000 won for 120,000 won?” Ji Chang-wook nodded with a big smile as if it was natural to pay that much, making everyone burst into laughter.



Ji Chang-wook then shared a sweet tip, saying, “When using an app, you always have to make a direct transaction to avoid being scammed,” and said, “When I make a direct transaction, the other person often asks, ‘Why are you buying this?’ but I just tell them that I like games,” showing off his unexpected antics, making the set burst into laughter. Not stopping there, when Ji Chang-wook shows interest in the olive tree, Yoo Yeon-seok says, “I saw a 120-year-old olive tree in a flower garden recently that costs 50 million won,” and he quickly asks, “How do you know it‘s 120 years old?” and starts fact-checking. Yoo Jae-seok then says, “Chang-wook has done a lot of second-hand transactions, so his verification is certain~,” and respects Ji Chang-wook’s transaction style that is certain to verify facts.

At this time, what made Ji Chang-wook, who had become a “verification maniac” following his “direct transaction maniac,” angry was none other than the patented game mission of “Whenever you have a chance,’. As the game progressed, there were moments of thrilling tension and gifts being exchanged, and Ji Chang-wook said, ”This appeals to people‘s gambling instincts. It is said that he cried out, “It touches on people’s desires and frustrates them,” and then rationalized it by saying, “If you think about it, this is a moral lesson,” causing the production team to burst out laughing.

Therefore, attention is being paid to the upcoming broadcast to see what kind of quirky side Ji Chang-wook, who showed off his potential in “Whenever There’s a Chance,” will show.
