Twice’s Jihyo and Sana Steal the Show with Charming Variety Skills on SBS Hit Series

In the latest episode of SBS’s variety show ‘Whenever Possible’, Twice‘s beloved members Jihyo and Sana captivated viewers and hosts Yoo Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok alike with their infectious energy and seasoned entertainment skills. The 23rd episode, aired on February 20, recorded a 1.4% viewership rating in the key 2049 demographic — securing the number one spot in Tuesday’s entertainment and drama category.

‘Whenever Possible’ is a unique variety series that surprises everyday citizens during moments of daily pause with games, laughter, and occasionally, prizes. For this episode, the dynamic duo Jihyo and Sana joined the hosts on visits to a cozy café and a local street food stall, offering heartfelt conversations and playing offbeat games with the locals.

Celebrating their impressive 10th anniversary since debut, Jihyo reflected, “Time really does fly. We’ve hardly taken any breaks,” and shared her recent experience performing on Coldplay’s opening stage. Yoo Jae-seok praised the group’s long-standing bond: “Being in a group for 10 years in this cutthroat industry is truly extraordinary.”

The first mission took place in a café Jihyo frequents, where the group greeted a regular customer and her adorable four-year-old daughter. The game challenge, hilariously dubbed ‘Cup Coaster Ping Pong’, had participants bouncing balls into cups — with family sneakers as the winning prize. Although the idols began with confidence, the game proved tougher than expected, leading to moments of laughter and playful frustration.

After a brief lunch break filled with candid banter, including a humorous contrast between Jihyo’s active lifestyle and Yoo Jae-seok’s self-proclaimed love of staying home, the team moved to a busy local market for their second task. At a longstanding tteokbokki shop, the group engaged in the ‘Yum Yum Professor Quiz,’ a food-themed guessing game. Amid the pressure, Sana jokingly exclaimed, “I think I’m getting hyperventilation!” before succeeding on their sixth try.

Despite failing the second stage, the genuine affection from the shop’s owner and the cheerful atmosphere underscored the heartwarming human connections at the core of the show. The episode concluded with promises to revisit and expressions of gratitude all around.

‘Whenever Possible’ airs every Tuesday at 9 PM KST on SBS, continuing to charm audiences with unscripted moments, celebrity guests, and relatable slices of everyday life turned into joyful mini-adventures.
