Colleagues reveal Yoo Yeon-seok's gaming obsession and refusal to drink alcohol
Actor Yoo Yeon-seok's intense passion for gaming and his habit of prioritizing games over alcohol during company dinners were revealed by his colleagues on the SBS variety show "Whenever Possible."
During the August 2026 broadcast of "Whenever Possible" in Nowon-gu, Seoul, actors Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee revealed that Yoo Yeon-seok prioritizes gaming over alcohol even during company dinners.
Actor Yoo Yeon-seok has become the subject of exposure by his colleagues due to his extraordinary love for gaming. Testimonies have emerged that he cannot hide his passion for games even outside of filming sets, and even goes as far as to urge others to play games during company dinners. His unexpected daily life, including reports that he even refuses alcohol, has drawn significant interest.
According to SBS variety program "Whenever Possible," the broadcast on the 27th will feature Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok meeting citizens as they visit various locations in Nowon-gu, Seoul, alongside actors Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee. Amidst the pleasant conversation between the four, revelations regarding Yoo Yeon-seok's love for games will be disclosed.
Seo Hyun-jin first confessed to Yoo Yeon-seok, stating, "Oppa really loves games. He constantly nags me to play games." This suggests that he goes beyond simply enjoying games to actively encouraging those around him to join. This is a stark contrast to the serious and calm image he typically portrays in his works.
Lee Chun-hee, who was beside her, added weight to Seo Hyun-jin's remarks. He exposed that Yoo Yeon-seok asks to play games even during company dinners and added, "He doesn't even drink alcohol." It appears that games are placed as a priority even during gatherings intended for colleagues to bond. His choice of games over alcohol and his tendency to involve those around him give an indication of the extent of his hobby.
In particular, the testimonies of the two draw laughter because they show that Yoo Yeon-seok's love for games does not stop at being a solitary hobby. As it is revealed that he is proactive in suggesting games to those with him and even attempts to change the atmosphere of company dinners into gaming sessions, his previously unknown friendly side is expected to be revealed. However, the "gaming addiction" mentioned by the colleagues is a playful expression and does not refer to an actual medical state of addiction.
"Whenever Possible" is a variety program that visits citizens who find brief moments of leisure in their daily lives to gift them luck and laughter. Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok work together as fixed MCs, communicating naturally with citizens and showing their wit and human charm in unexpected situations.
Continuing as a seasonal program, "Whenever Possible" began Season 1 in 2024 and, through Seasons 2, 3, and 4, entered Season 5 in August 2026. In this broadcast, Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee will appear to spend a special time in Nowon-gu, Seoul, with Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok. How Yoo Yeon-seok will react to his colleagues' revelations is expected to add more fun to the broadcast.
As the side of a gaming enthusiast hidden behind Yoo Yeon-seok's serious acting and soft image is revealed, interest is growing in how much he enjoys gaming in his daily life. Curiosity is mounting regarding what kind of laughter the testimonies of his colleagues—who claim he calls for games even at company dinners—will create.
