'Whenever I have time,' is a variety program that presents luck by targeting the niche time of everyday life. Since its first broadcast, it has consistently been loved for ranking first in the Tuesday entertainment show 2049 ratings, and in the last broadcast of season 2, it hit a new high of 4.4% (based on Nielsen Korea). Season 3 will premiere at 9 p.m. on May 6.
Producer Choi Bo-pil said that the biggest force that allowed the show to reach season 3 was because of MC Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, and that the natural chemistry between the two was the driving force behind the program. Then " whenever there is a gap," is a system in which the production team's intervention is minimized and the cast moves autonomously. The MCs' sense and the sincerity of the gap owners met to create unpredictable fun in each episode," he added.
This season, we maintained our existing sensibility, but upgraded the fun by strengthening the bonus coupon system. Producer Choi hinted at a new change, saying, `Now, just before the start of the mission, I let my friend pick the coupon himself, raising the tension.'
The process of selecting a friend during the break also attracts attention. Writer Chae Jin-ah "Investigate the neighborhoods her friends often visit and set the background. The journey becomes much richer when a friend who knows the neighborhood is with him." Regarding the selection of the owner of the gap, he also explained that "We look deeply into our daily lives through pre-interviews".
In particular, the production team repeatedly thanked MC Yoo Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok for their performance. Producer Choi praised that `Yoo Yeon-seok has now completely melted into entertainment, and Yoo Jae-seok is a reliable person who catches and solves the concerns of the production team in advance.' If he was a player in 'Running Man,' he would be a leader who encompasses the show in" whenever he has time." Writer Chae also added, `Yoo Jae-seok always takes care of the staff and the cast members carefully.'
Finally, PD Choi said, `I am proud that this season started better than season 2""When you have time, please enjoy it when you have time, as in the title """ he said. Writer Chae also said, `I hope more people will join me since the broadcast time has been moved up to 9 p.m," he said.
Meanwhile, SBS 'Whenever I Have a Time' Season 3 airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
