BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and TWICE’s Nayeon are set to share the screen on SBS’s variety show “Whenever Possible” (also known as “Whenever There’s a Chance”), and the first preview has revealed a relaxed, playful side to one of K-pop’s most unexpected friendships. The teaser, released on November 4, 2026, shows the two 1995-born stars visiting Sanbon-dong in Gunpo City alongside hosts Yu Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok, turning a simple neighborhood walk into a high-energy game session. The episode is scheduled to air on November 10, 2026, at 9:00 PM KST.
What the Preview Actually Shows
The clip does not rely on dramatic reveals or manufactured conflict. Instead, it leans into the natural chemistry between Jisoo and Nayeon, two performers who have known each other since their trainee years. The setting is deliberately ordinary: the streets of Sanbon, a residential neighborhood in Gunpo, just south of Seoul. Yu Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok, the show’s hosts, meet the two guests there and quickly set the tone for a lighthearted episode.
Jisoo, who grew up in the area, is introduced as a local figure. The hosts call her the “daughter of Sanbon,” a label she immediately deflects with a modest joke. She points to retired figure skater Kim Yuna as the rightful holder of that title, and the hosts respond by calling Jisoo “Sanbon’s second daughter”.

The moment sets up what the episode is aiming for: a comfortable, hometown visit rather than a formal interview. As the group walks through the neighborhood, Jisoo points out familiar spots, including a taekwondo studio she attended and a friend’s old house, visibly excited to revisit her childhood surroundings.
A Friendship That Started in Trainee Days
The preview also confirms what many K-pop followers had suspected for years: Jisoo and Nayeon are close friends. Both were born in 1995, and their bond goes back to their early training days before debut. Nayeon says directly in the clip that she has known Jisoo “since trainee days,” a detail that adds context to their easy back-and-forth on screen.
That history matters because Jisoo and Nayeon represent two of the biggest girl groups of their generation. BLACKPINK and TWICE debuted in the same era and have competed on music charts for years, but the two members have maintained a private friendship away from the spotlight. The “Whenever Possible” episode marks one of the few times that friendship has been shown in full on a major broadcast.
The show’s format, which sends hosts to spend time with ordinary people during their short breaks, gives the two stars room to interact without the pressure of a structured talk show. The result, based on the preview, is a segment that treats them as friends first and celebrities second.
Nayeon’s Competitive Side and a Wallpaper Story
If Jisoo brings the nostalgic, hometown energy, Nayeon brings the competitive drive. The preview shows her diving into the game missions with a seriousness that surprises even the hosts. SBS’s own description of the episode notes that Nayeon displays a “bold competitive spirit,” with a sharp look in her eyes and a loud voice as she takes on each challenge.

A smaller, more humorous moment also stands out. Yoo Yeon Seok admits that he once set Nayeon’s photo as his phone wallpaper because he had heard it would bring good luck with money. He kept it for a few days, and the preview leaves the result of that experiment hanging, adding a light running joke to the episode.
Why Jisoo and Nayeon Are on the Show Now
The timing of the appearance is not random. Both artists are in the middle of solo release cycles, and the variety show serves as a promotional stop for their new music.
Jisoo released her second pre-release single, “ADDICTED,” on October 30, 2026, ahead of her first full-length solo album. The “Whenever Possible” appearance also coincides with her return to Korean music shows after a gap of roughly one year and nine months. Her last major solo release was the single album “ME” in 2023, which included the track “FLOWER.”
Nayeon is preparing to release a new single album titled “NA-sty” on November 20, 2026. It marks her first solo comeback in about two years and five months, following her second mini album “NA” from 2024. Nayeon has been one of TWICE’s most active solo members, and the new release is expected to continue the sound she established with “POP!” in 2022.
For both singers, “Whenever Possible” offers a softer promotional platform than a music show performance. The episode lets them show personality and humor, which can reach viewers who may not follow every solo release.
How to Watch the Episode
The Jisoo and Nayeon episode of “Whenever Possible” airs on SBS in South Korea on November 10, 2026, at 9:00 PM KST. The show runs every Tuesday at that time.
For international viewers, the show is available through several streaming platforms, though availability varies by region. Viki carries the program with English and other language subtitles in many markets. Viu also offers the show in select Asian territories, with new episodes typically arriving on Thursdays for subscribers. In the United States, Kocowa and OnDemandKorea are the primary streaming options for the series.
Viewers in the UK, Canada, and Australia should check Viki first, as the platform has the broadest English-subtitled catalog for SBS variety content. A Netflix listing for “Whenever Possible” exists in some regions, but the show is not a global Netflix title, and availability changes by country. Checking JustWatch or the official Viki and Kocowa pages closer to November 10 will give the most accurate local streaming information.
What the Show Itself Is About
“Whenever Possible” premiered in 2024 and has built a steady following around its simple premise. Yu Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok visit people during brief free moments in their day—lunch breaks, commutes, or short pauses between tasks—and try to bring a small bit of luck or fun into those moments. The show does not rely on elaborate sets or celebrity-only segments. Its charm comes from the hosts interacting with everyday people and from guests who are willing to participate in the format’s low-stakes games.
The Jisoo and Nayeon episode fits that model closely. The two singers are not promoting a movie or a major tour; they are simply spending time in a neighborhood, playing games, and talking. The preview suggests the episode will stay true to the show’s usual tone: relaxed, lightly competitive, and built around small interactions rather than big revelations.
