Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Jae-myung present different standards regarding whether middle school students can also enjoy Children's Day. The SBS variety program "Whenever Possible" shows Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, and guests Yoo Jae-myung and Lee Sun-bin searching for gap moments in the Cheonan area in the broadcast on the 6th. After visiting Lee Sun-bin's alma mater middle school and talking with students, the four exchange opinions on the subject of the target age for Children's Day. Yoo Jae-suk expresses the position that one is no longer a child from the 6th grade of elementary school, while Lee Sun-bin says it is okay to enjoy Children's Day up to the 1st grade of middle school. Yoo Jae-myung argues that 10 years old is already fully grown. In the broadcast, Lee Sun-bin also challenges herself to fly paper airplanes at her alma mater to make up for failing a game with a children's baseball team in the past. The program airs every Tuesday at 9 PM.

Children's Day age debate begins at alma mater

According to the broadcast content released by SBS, the cast visited Lee Sun-bin's alma mater middle school and met with students on this day. During the conversation, the cast's standards diverged as they discussed whether middle school students can also enjoy Children's Day. Yoo Jae-suk says, "Actually, from 6th grade elementary school, you are not a child." SBS reported that the 'gap owners' who are middle school students were stirred by his comment, which used the completion of elementary school as the standard for whether a 6th grader can be seen as a child. In a situation asking for the age at which one can enjoy Children's Day, Yoo Jae-suk presented the timing of finishing elementary school as the standard.

Lee Sun-bin, speaking from the students' perspective, said, "Shouldn't it be okay to enjoy it up to the 1st grade of middle school?" This is the opinion that one can enjoy Children's Day even after entering middle school. Following Yoo Jae-suk's remark, Lee Sun-bin took the students' side, leading the conversation to confirm their different standards. Yoo Jae-myung cited an even lower age than Lee Sun-bin and said, "No. Actually, 10 years old is fully grown." SBS reported that the students were speechless after Yoo Jae-myung's remark. As the opinions of the three performers emerged, the conversation regarding the target age for Children's Day continued during the alma mater visit scene.

Yoo Jae-suk settles it as 'personal opinions of fathers'

Yoo Jae-suk stated the position that one is not a child from the 6th grade of elementary school, and Yoo Jae-myung said 10 years old is fully grown. As the two presented strict standards for being a child, the students could not easily respond. Lee Sun-bin countered that it should be okay to enjoy Children's Day up to the 1st grade of middle school.

As the students showed a bewildered reaction, Yoo Jae-suk added, "This is just our personal opinions as fathers." He concluded the conversation by clarifying that the previous remarks were the personal thoughts of the cast members. SBS reported that laughter ensued during this process. Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Jae-myung set the age for being a child as the 6th grade of elementary school and 10 years old respectively, while Lee Sun-bin suggested that it is okay to enjoy Children's Day up to the 1st grade of middle school. The broadcast preview included the remarks of the three people and the reactions of the students. The conversation regarding the age standard for Children's Day unfolds against the backdrop of Lee Sun-bin's alma mater.

Lee Sun-bin challenges to make up for it with a paper airplane game

Lee Sun-bin also participates in a game at her alma mater to make up for her 'childhood jinx.' According to SBS, Lee Sun-bin left a sense of regret after failing at the second stage in a game with a children's baseball team during her previous appearance on "Whenever Possible." In this broadcast, Lee Sun-bin expressed her intention to challenge herself, saying, "I came here to make up for it properly today." This mission is a paper airplane flying game. The four people challenge themselves to deliver the joy of the third stage to the students through a paper airplane flying game.

Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Jae-myung participate in the game by bending their knees while demonstrating how to fly paper airplanes well. SBS introduced the two as the '7N-born duo' and reported that they attempt secret methods for flying airplanes by utilizing their experience as fathers. Lee Sun-bin also engages in the game using various methods for success. Expressing the pressure of the challenge, Lee Sun-bin said, "I think I got shot." The paper airplane game is the sequence where Lee Sun-bin, who failed the mission with the children's baseball team during her last appearance, challenges herself again at her alma mater.
