Nam Ji-hyun, from Beauty and Knowledge to Patience, 'God's Unfairness'

Actress Nam Ji-hyun visits her alma mater, Sogang University, to reveal memories of her school days and her extraordinary passion for learning. From the circumstances of her debut in the entertainment industry to an anecdote about waiting for as long as two hours at a famous restaurant, her persistence shown in both studies and daily life is expected to draw admiration from Yoo Jae-suk. In particular, interest is gathering as a scene is teased where Yoo Jae-suk, upon hearing about Nam Ji-hyun's academic background, expresses envy while comparing it to when he visited other universities.

In the SBS variety program 'Whenever Possible' scheduled to air on the 13th, MC Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok will search for niche time slots around Sogang University with guests Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young. The filming location this time is Sogang University, Nam Ji-hyun's alma mater. Returning to the familiar campus, Nam Ji-hyun is set to tell stories related to her school life and studies, recalling her time as a psychology major.

Nam Ji-hyun is known to have enjoyed studying itself since her school days. She expresses her affection for academics, reminiscing, "Even as a student, studying was fun." Her career has garnered steady interest as she has maintained her studies and graduated from university despite debuting as a child actress and continuing her acting career for a long time. As balancing entertainment activities and academics is not easy, attention is also focused on the behind-the-scenes stories of university life that Nam Ji-hyun will share.

Interestingly, the circumstances of Nam Ji-hyun's debut in the entertainment industry are also connected to a quiz program. She reveals that she appeared on a segment of the past show 'Transmission Report' to answer quiz questions, which caught the eye of a drama director and led her to start acting. A chance television appearance essentially led to the path of an actress. Her history of building an acting career from a young age while simultaneously pursuing her studies shows how Nam Ji-hyun has carved out her own path.

Yoo Jae-suk also shows a witty reaction to Nam Ji-hyun's visit to her alma mater. Recalling how Yoo Yeon-seok looked happy when he went to Sejong University, Yoo Jae-suk brings laughter by saying, "Yoo Yeon-seok was happy when he went to Jongdae, but Nam Ji-hyun is different since she came to Kangdae." As stories surrounding the actors' alma maters flow naturally, conversations comparing their university days and respective school lives are also expected to unfold.

Nam Ji-hyun's persistence was not limited to studying. She confesses that she once waited alone for two hours at a famous restaurant near her house. Upon hearing that she can endure long waiting times for food she wants to eat, Yoo Jae-suk admires her, saying, "As expected of Kangdae's persistence. You have to know how to wait a long time to be good at studying, too." Yoo Jae-suk's unique wit, connecting her sincerity toward studies with her tenacity for delicious food, is expected to heat up the atmosphere on set.

Afterward, the four engage in a full-scale debate over how long they can wait to eat delicious food. With Nam Ji-hyun's two-hour waiting experience becoming the topic of conversation, their individual eating habits as well as their tendencies regarding waiting are set to be revealed. Yoo Jae-suk draws laughter by waving his hands and saying, "I'm done if it's around 30 minutes." The stark difference between someone enduring two hours and someone giving up after 30 minutes for the same food adds small fun to the show.

The stories Nam Ji-hyun, who started as a child actress and continued her studies and acting career together, will unfold at her alma mater hold meaning beyond a simple campus visit. Behind the glamorous activities of celebrities lie individual lifestyles, choices, and steady efforts. From her honest confession that studying was fun to the patience she showed in front of a famous restaurant, expectations are high for what kind of laughter and empathy Nam Ji-hyun's unexpected sides will draw through the reactions of Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok.
