Actor Jo Jung-seok is reborn as the ‘standard Tazza’ in ‘Whenever I Have a Chance’.

SBS' new entertainment show 'Whenever I Get a Chance', which got off to a good start by ranking first in its time slot in the 2049 viewership rating from its first broadcast on the 23rd, is a 'niche strategy' variety show that presents good luck during the brief gaps in daily life. With Yoo Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok acting as 2MCs for the first time, PD Choi Bo-pil of 'Running Man' and writer Chae Jin-ah of 'Siren: Island of Fire' work together to raise expectations.

In the second episode of 'Whenever I Get a Chance', which will be aired on the 30th, actor Jo Jung-seok joins as 'Gap Friends' and travels around Chungmuro and Namsan with 2MCs Yoo Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok to spread good fortune. The three of them, Jaeseok, Yeonseok, and Jeongseok, form a 'three-seok' chemistry and their trustworthy chemistry explodes. However, when they meet an elderly person at a senior center, who is the 'gap owner (applicant),' they say they fall into a frenzy with Hwatu, raising questions about the background.

Yoo Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Jo Jung-seok are captivated by the words of the elders who say that they play Hwatu in their spare time, so they engage in a Hwatu competition. When the three people arrived, the elders welcomed them warmly and suddenly took out a hidden Hwatu board. The three people are embarrassed by the hwatu cards in their hands, but they naturally fall in love with the elders and laugh at the hwatu cards.

In response, Jo Jung-seok exuded the scent of coriander, saying, “Hwatu cards should be played exactly like this. That way they will be delicious.” Jo Jung-seok was forced to grab the hwatu by the old man's hand, but before he knew it, he was surprised by sweeping the hwatu board. Jo Jung-seok arouses admiration for his outstanding performance, saying, “Both of you are poor, and I am good!”

Among these, Jo Jung-seok attracts attention because he is said to immediately captivate the elderly with his unique humor. When the seniors seemed ready to give up early in the game, Jo Jung-seok suddenly climbed up on the chair and tried to persuade them. He said, “Now, seniors, what this means is that we have 3 points and the opponent is a loser. Shall we submit or not?” He explains the rules of the game, comparing it to the hwatu that seniors know well, as if possessed by a sales king who goes door-to-door. . Accordingly, Jo Jung-seok is said to have made the scene into a sea of laughter and showed perfect performances from 'the classics of Tazza' to captivating the hearts of the elderly, followed by 'the classics of persuasion', raising expectations for his great performance.

On the other hand, on this day, Yoo Jae-seok expressed his confidence by saying, “I can play Hwatu,” and Yoo Yeon-seok burst into laughter as he was surprised by the brilliant hand skills of the elderly people who were like reclusive masters. Accordingly, attention is being paid to the main broadcast of 'Whenever I Have the Opportunity', which will feature Yoo Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Jo Jung-seok immersed in Hwatu with the elderly.

'Whenever I Get a Chance', in which Jo Jung-seok appears as a guest, will be broadcast at 10:20 pm on the 30th (Tuesday).
