Hwang Jung-min's wish to "go on the show" comes true
Actor Hwang Jung-min, who personally expressed his desire to appear on the YouTube channel 'Pinggyego,' is finally meeting Yoo Jae Suk. The production team of the SBS variety show 'Whenever Possible' announced on the 15th that Hwang Jung-min and Jung Ho-yeon have been confirmed as the first guests for Season 5, which premieres on August 11.
The real highlight is that Hwang Jung-min's directness has paid off. During a recent appearance on 'Pinggyego,' Hwang drew significant attention by sharing his sincere wish to visit the program. With fans eagerly anticipating a meeting between the two, he has been selected as the first guest to open the doors to Season 5.
The meeting of 'Hope' leads Hwang Jung-min and Jung Ho-yeon
The first episode of Season 5 adds significant weight by featuring not only Hwang Jung-min but also global star Jung Ho-yeon. The two are the lead actors of the film 'Hope,' which was released on the 15th, and they will once again showcase their chemistry through this variety show.
The film 'Hope' tells the story of Beom-seok (played by Hwang Jung-min), the head of the Hopo Port branch office in the Demilitarized Zone, as he responds to news of a tiger appearing in the village. The core of this first broadcast will be the chemistry between the 'Two Yoo MC' duo, led by Yoo Jae Suk and Yoo Yeon Seok, and their film partners, Hwang Jung-min and Jung Ho-yeon.
The return of the 'niche conqueror' that ranked No. 1 in viewership for 15 consecutive weeks
Returning with Season 5, 'Whenever Possible' achieved overwhelming success in its previous Season 4. Throughout its broadcast, it maintained the No. 1 spot in the 2049 viewership rating for its time slot, specifically setting a record by ranking No. 1 in the 2049 viewership rating for 15 consecutive weeks across all Tuesday variety shows and dramas.
The program's buzz is also high. In the variety brand reputation rankings released by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute last March, the program ranked 6th, and main MC Yoo Jae Suk was named No. 1 in the variety entertainer category. The production team plans to visit citizens in their daily lives again this season to deliver new healing.
