On SBS's "Whenever There's a Chance," Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Do-hoon successfully completed the first New Year's mission together with Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok. The episode aired on the 6th recorded a peak viewership rating of 5.4% per minute and a household rating of 3.7%, showing an upward trend. In particular, the 2049 demographic rating was 1.9% (based on Nielsen Korea's metropolitan area), ranking first among all genres broadcast on Tuesday. This contributed to strengthening the program's channel competitiveness.

In this episode, Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Cha Tae-hyun, and Kim Do-hoon visited the Egg Laboratory and music studio in Samseong-dong to deliver lucky energy. Yoo Jae-suk expressed his delight at Cha Tae-hyun's arrival, saying, "My inner spatula is here again." Cha Tae-hyun advised Kim Do-hoon, "You can come here whenever you have a chance." He added, "I have another drama coming out in 2027. Please hold up well here until then," creating a cheerful atmosphere.

The first mission took place at the Egg Laboratory. A researcher revealed that they taste over 100 eggs to develop their products. Kim Do-hoon empathized, saying, "I also love eggs so much that I eat 15 a day," and shared stories about eggs. The mission, titled "Eggs Have Arrived~," was a game where they moved egg cartons using ping pong balls. Kim Do-hoon immediately succeeded in practice, surprising his colleagues. They continued to succeed consecutively through stages 2 and 3, making the scene lively. Yoo Yeon-seok said, "Our teamwork was incredible," drawing enthusiastic responses from everyone.

During lunch, Kim Do-hoon opened up about the difficulties faced by rookie entertainers. He said, "Watching variety shows these days, I feel they're amazing. Because of the pressure, friends didn't seem like friends." Cha Tae-hyun empathized, saying, "Actors like us are used to scripts, so unscripted variety shows are tough." Yoo Jae-suk countered, "Aren't you an entertainer?" and Cha Tae-hyun agreed with a laugh, saying, "Actually, I prefer no script."

The second mission took place in the music studio. The music director shared behind-the-scenes stories of working on the OSTs for the films "Extreme Job" and "The Outlaws 2." The mission, "Raise Your Hand! OST Quiz," involved listening to an OST for 10 seconds and guessing the title of the work. Kim Do-hoon expressed confidence, saying, "I'm good at this." However, the team stopped at stage 2 when Yoo Yeon-seok confused the films "Friend" and "No Sun." Kim Do-hoon humorously covered for Yoo Yeon-seok's wrong answer, saying, "So, the sun didn't rise today?"

"Whenever There's a Chance" airs every Tuesday at 9 PM and plans to continue various attempts to communicate with viewers. This program is a variety show in the form of a "gap strategy," offering luck during brief moments of free time encountered in daily life, with expectations high for the activities of Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Do-hoon.
