The SBS variety show "If There's a Gap," which had its recording canceled due to host Yoo Jae-suk suffering from a cold and flu, successfully resumed recording and completed its broadcast without incident.

In the episode aired on the 20th, the two hosts, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with "Gap Friends" Shin Seung-ho and Chae Soobin, headed to Gwanghwamun.

Having reunited after the recording cancellation, the four displayed even more cheerful chemistry that day. Yoo Jae-suk welcomed his younger colleagues with a notably generous demeanor, stating, "Today is Yoo Jae-suk's apology broadcast."

The first "Gap Owner" they met was a group of office workers employed at the Seoul Global Center. In particular, foreign office workers who have lived in Korea for N years impressed everyone by demonstrating fluent vocabulary and sharp wit.

The first game was "Eraser Killing Shot!," which involved flicking an eraser in a relay to knock over a box of ballpoint pens. When the prize turned out to be buzzed-about merchandise from the National Museum of Korea, Yoo Jae-suk fired up his enthusiasm, saying, "I'll throw my whole body into it." Shin Seung-ho played timidly despite his aggressive appearance, prompting Yoo Yeon-seok to exclaim, "Why are you so timid?" which triggered bursts of laughter. On the other hand, Chae Soobin hit the box in one shot on his third attempt, establishing himself as the ace and leading to a thrilling success at Stage 1. Stimulated by this, Shin Seung-ho mobilized even his forearm muscles, mastering the secret to success and transforming into a competitor. Finally, following Yoo Jae-suk's "one hit, two targets" feat and Shin Seung-ho's decisive blow, the four succeeded in Stage 2. However, despite having additional chances, they ultimately failed to overcome the barrier of Stage 3, leaving a sense of regret.

Amidst this, Yoo Jae-suk revealed an unexpected "pursuit beauty" (ideal type), stating, "I am a 'Lenc-kk' pursuit beauty." He showcased his smooth charm by naturally greeting citizens, saying, "I like the freedom of an older man." In response, Chae Soobin said, "I am also called the 'Celebrity Auntie' among my friends," aligning with Yoo Jae-suk's ideal type and satisfying him. Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk drew attention by volunteering for an "apology flex." When Shin Seung-ho and Chae Soobin discovered a prop shop and entered it saying, "Senior, please buy us something," Yoo Jae-suk loudly declared, "Buy everything today." However, his mood quickly changed when Shin Seung-ho asked, "May I buy some accessories?" as he was about to start serious shopping, causing laughter.

The second "Gap Owner" was the director of a gayageum (Korean zither) academy. The owner, who runs cultural experience classes for foreigners, shared her struggles, saying, "Sometimes on days when there are no students, looking outside and seeing many tourists makes me sad." However, she added humor by sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how her academy has entered a boom period thanks to BTS.

The second "Gap Game" was "Sogo Tontong!," which involved flicking a table tennis ball with a sogo (Korean wooden spoon) to score it into a hat. The four succeeded in Stage 1 on their very first attempt, but the atmosphere reversed when a 10-second countdown was added for Stage 2. Shin Seung-ho was startled by the production team's countdown and reverted to his "timid" mode, begging, "Please don't count the numbers," which caused laughter. Fortunately, after intense practice, they passed Stage 2. However, when Shin Seung-ho complained of leg pain due to over-immersion in the game, Yoo Jae-suk complained, "Seung-ho is a lot of work." Even the "Gap Owner" carefully suggested, "Is it okay to stop now?" adding to the laughter. The four engaged in endless practice and succeeded in placing the table tennis ball on top of the hat in their final attempt, but the ball bounced off narrowly, resulting in a failure at Stage 3. The four kept apologizing and could not lift their heads, bringing joy to the viewers.
