Yoo Jae-suk Praises TWICE's Jihyo for Her Competitive Spirit on 'Whenever Possible'

Yoo Jae-suk is impressed by TWICE's Jihyo, calling her 'no ordinary person' due to her competitive spirit.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'Whenever Possible,' airing on the 20th, TWICE members Jihyo and Sana will appear as 'Whenever Possible Friends,' bringing excitement to the Geumho-dong area.

During the episode, Jihyo and Sana dive into the games with full enthusiasm. Even before the games officially begin, Sana expresses her nervousness, saying, "Why am I so nervous? My heart hurts." Meanwhile, Jihyo, unable to see the quiz board clearly, politely requests, "Could you lower it a bit faster? I can't see the letters well," adding "I'm sorry," which amuses the production team.

Yoo Jae-suk comments, "Jihyo is no ordinary person," admiring her determination. Jihyo candidly admits, "I'm sorry, I just really want to win," bringing laughter to the set.

As the game intensifies, the tension between the two rises uncontrollably. At one point, Sana, overwhelmed, says, "I feel like I'm going to throw up," prompting Jihyo to urgently advise, "Breathe, Sana, breathe," surprising Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok. Yoo Jae-suk is taken aback, saying, "Jihyo, your voice has changed. Did your voice get deeper during the game? Was it always this low?"

Sana reportedly uses her 'foreigner card' as a secret weapon, sparking curiosity. Whenever difficult Korean words appear in the game, she innocently claims, "I'm a foreigner," and confidently requests simpler Korean, leaving the production team in stitches. It's yet to be seen if the production team granted any benefits to foreigner Sana or what kind of game led her to request simpler Korean. The fierce competition between Jihyo and Sana on 'Whenever Possible' is highly anticipated.
