On the evening of today (20th) at 9 PM, SBS's 'Whenever Possible,' TWICE's Sana confesses about a past where she almost gave up on her debut.
SBS's variety show 'Whenever Possible,' which airs every Tuesday at 9 PM, is a 'gap strategy' variety that gifts luck during brief moments of free time encountered in daily life.
Since the first episode of Season 3, it has broken its own highest ratings record with a peak viewership of 5.8%, 4.5% in the metropolitan area, and 1.9% among the 2049 demographic, also ranking first in the same time slot for Tuesday entertainment programs among the 2049 demographic and overall household entertainment in the metropolitan area, signaling the grand return of the entertainment powerhouse. In this episode, 'Whenever Possible,' episode 23, TWICE's Jihyo and Sana will appear as 'gap friends' and bring a flurry of luck to the Kumho-dong area.
Sana captivates attention by sharing a 'funny yet sad' story about how she almost didn't become TWICE's Sana before her debut. Reflecting on her over 13 years of living in Korea, Sana reveals, "When I was young, I thought about sneaking back home in the early morning," and shares her serious thoughts on how to leave without making noise at the front door. This was particularly poignant as she started her idol career in a foreign country at the young age of 17. However, with a smile, Sana adds, "But my passport was with the company, and to get it, I would have had to sneak into the company, which was realistically impossible," revealing the reason her ambitious escape plan failed, eliciting laughter. She also admits, "At that time, I was planning to go with Momo," confessing her secret accomplice and reminiscing about the thrilling past where TWICE could have had 7 members due to Sana and Momo's potential escape.
On this day, Sana showcases her natural entertainment skills, being a born entertainer from Osaka, as she interacts playfully with Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok. When Yoo Yeon-seok expresses curiosity, saying, "Isn't it true that people from Osaka have good reactions? I saw a video where they scream 'Ah!' when you say 'bread,'" Sana responds, "I used to do that when I was younger. But the rumors spread too much in Korea, so I decided, 'I won't be one of them,' and now I don't scream," causing everyone to burst into laughter. As the games begin, Sana hints at the birth of another meme with just one word, 'seasoned crab,' following the legendary 'cheese gimbap' meme from the past. After the first game ends, she sincerely exclaims, "(The game) is quite nerve-wracking~," making Yoo Jae-suk double over with laughter.
Will Sana's performance bring luck to the gap owner? The anticipation for the main broadcast of 'Whenever Possible' reaches its peak.
Meanwhile, the healing variety show 'Whenever Possible,' which promises even stronger laughter closely tied to daily life, will air today (20th) at 9 PM.
