Seo Hyun-jin praises Yoo Jae-suk's athletic passion on 'Whenever Possible'

During the filming of 'Whenever Possible' in Nowon-gu, Seoul, actress Seo Hyun-jin praised Yoo Jae-suk's unexpected competitive spirit and suggested that he and Dr. Oh Eun-young be designated as national treasures. The episode, airing on the 27th, also features Seo Hyun-jin discussing her 8-constitution diet.

Actress Seo Hyun-jin is falling for the unexpected charms of Yoo Jae-suk. While expressing admiration for Yoo Jae-suk's passion when tackling games—a departure from his usual broadcast persona—she also delivered a bold compliment on set, suggesting that Yoo Jae-suk and Dr. Oh Eun-young should be designated as national treasures. The episode also promises laughter as Seo Hyun-jin reveals her unique dietary management methods.

In the SBS variety program 'Whenever Possible' airing on the 27th, MC Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok visit Nowon-gu, Seoul, with actress Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee to spend "gap time" in the daily lives of citizens. Seo Hyun-jin is expected to heat up the atmosphere with her honest wit and exceptional fan spirit.

Seo Hyun-jin first reveals a unique diet she practices for health management. She explained that she follows an "8-constitution diet" that suits her well. The 8-constitution is a classification method in traditional Korean medicine that divides human constitutions into eight types.

Surprising the cast, Seo Hyun-jin described her usual meals by saying, "I am told to eat temple food. It is just rice, seafood, and vegetables." This means that instead of meat or stimulating foods, she focuses her meals on rice, seafood, and vegetables. She went further by suggesting, "How about having a Korean set meal (baekban) for lunch today?" naturally promoting her diet and drawing laughter from Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Lee Chun-hee.

Seo Hyun-jin's active participation extends beyond talk of diet. On this day, she transforms into a passionate supporter for Yoo Jae-suk. As Yoo Jae-suk, who had previously appeared particularly weak when attempting games, showed unexpected strength, Seo Hyun-jin reacted more enthusiastically than anyone else. She offered applause, saying, "It's so cool," and poured out unsparing support for the challenging Yoo Jae-suk.

In particular, after watching Yoo Jae-suk engage in an actual game, Seo Hyun-jin offered high praise, stating, "You are like an athlete. Seeing you actually play the game is cool." She discovered a competitive spirit and serious attitude in Yoo Jae-suk, who is commonly known as the "Nation's MC," similar to that of an athlete. Interest is building regarding how Yoo Jae-suk will react to this unexpected barrage of compliments.

The fan spirit on set intensified even further. A "gap owner" (citizen) who identified as a fan of Yoo Jae-suk caused the scene to erupt in laughter by saying, "Jae-suk and Dr. Oh Eun-young should be designated as national treasures." This bold expression, comparing the Nation's MC Yoo Jae-suk and Dr. Oh Eun-young—who holds public trust in the fields of parenting and psychology—to national treasures, provided a moment of humor.

Faced with the pouring praise, Yoo Jae-suk could not hide his shyness. He waved his hands in dismissal, saying, "If my family heard this, they would absolutely say no." Yoo Jae-suk's characteristic humble reaction, as he struggles to accept the high praise, is expected to be another highlight of the laughter.

'Whenever Possible,' which will highlight Seo Hyun-jin's unadorned charm—from her unique health diet to her honest fan spirit toward Yoo Jae-suk—will air on the 27th. Anticipation is growing to see how Yoo Jae-suk will respond to Seo Hyun-jin's unrestrained praise and what pleasant scenes will be created during the gap time spent with the citizens of Nowon-gu, Seoul.
