Actors Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young unleashed their unique competitive spirit at Sogang University.

According to Nielsen Korea, the SBS variety program 'If There's a Gap,' which aired on the 13th, recorded a peak viewership rating of 6.1% and an average household rating of 4.2% in the Seoul metropolitan area. This marked its ninth consecutive week at number one among all variety and educational programs in the same time slot. Notably, it secured first place among all Tuesday variety shows with a 2049 demographic rating of 1.3%.

On this day, MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with 'Gap Friends' (guests) Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young, filled the gaps in time in Daehyeong-dong, Mapo-gu district. Having visited her alma mater, Sogang University, Nam Ji-hyun displayed a distinct momentum. While expressing delight by stating, "I am from the Class of 2014, Psychology Department," she joked, "Nowadays, if the school calls me, I want to run away. I am now a senior senior," eliciting laughter. In response, Yoo Jae-suk said, "Since Ji-hyun is here today, we can trust her," expressing anticipation for the performance of Nam Ji-hyun, the "daughter of Sogang."

The first Gap Owner was the vice-president of the Sogang University broadcasting station. The Gap Owners sparked interest with passionate stories about their life at the broadcasting station, including producing in-house variety shows. In particular, it came as a surprise when one Gap Owner revealed that watching Yoo Yeon-seok's movie inspired them to dream of becoming a current affairs documentary PD.

The first game was 'Ready Action!,' which involved hitting tape with a rubber band to strike a slate. At this point, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok successfully cleared the second stage on their fourth attempt, astonishing everyone. As Yoo Jae-suk boasted of his seasoned gaming experience by saying, "Finally, we've met our game," Nam Ji-hyun burned with unique academic enthusiasm, asking, "How do you do it well?"

On the other hand, Kim Jae-young confidently claimed to have "got the hang of it," but took a long time to aim, leaving the older members anxious. Eventually, Yoo Jae-suk pleaded, "Jae-young, just four seconds faster," causing bursts of laughter. Emboldened by this, Kim Jae-young embarked on endless solo practice and successfully executed a perfect shot following Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, experiencing the thrill of clearing the third stage.

Amidst this, Nam Ji-hyun drew attention by proving her status as an exceptional "Sogang University model daughter." She recalled her school days, saying, "Going to school was fun, and I enjoyed studying." Furthermore, she revealed, "I am good at waiting. I have even waited two hours for a table," astonishing the audience. Yoo Jae-suk expressed envy, saying, "As expected, (S)ogang University students have different concentration levels. I would give up after 30 minutes of waiting," which provoked laughter.

Meanwhile, Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young showcased their perfect chemistry, stating, "This was our second work together. Since we first met as 'siblings,' it feels even more comfortable." In response, Kim Jae-young praised Nam Ji-hyun by saying, "Ji-hyun brings out the best in her co-stars," creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

The second Gap Owner was the owner of a traditional tea and snack cafe. The Gap Owner captivated the four guests with their design-major sensibility in furniture and hobbies, along with the unexpected charm of learning soul dance.

The final Gap Game of the day was 'Basket Pong,' which involved bouncing a table tennis ball into a basket on a mop handle. In particular, Nam Ji-hyun rose to become the ace with her calm pace, even figuring out the rules for the second stage. Kim Jae-young sent a look of respect, saying, "You're smart. As expected, (S)ogang University," stimulating laughter. However, when the high-difficulty rule requiring five balls to be bounced up was applied in the third stage, Nam Ji-hyun complained about the pressure, saying, "I feel like I'm going to fail," and then roared, "It goes so well during practice!" causing Yoo Jae-suk to burst into laughter.

At this moment, Kim Jae-young gave Nam Ji-hyun special training, leading to consecutive successes, and eventually decorated a dramatic finish, turning the scene into a cauldron of enthusiasm. Nam Ji-hyun shared her joy with the Gap Owner through soul dance after achieving the thrilling record of clearing all three stages.
