"He only finds the way": Yang Se-jong's single-minded focus creates variety moments

Appearing on the SBS variety show "Whenever Possible," Yang Se-jong earned the nickname "Yang Se-bot" for his tendency to become excessively immersed in a single task. Cast members including Lee Dong-hwi and Yoo Jae-suk joked about his inability to multitask, noting that when Yang Se-jong is finding a way or performing a specific mission, he fails to perceive other situations and clings only to that task.

In particular, as Yang Se-jong, acting in a navigation role, focused solely on finding the destination—preventing him from joining conversations or noticing camera positions—Yoo Jae-suk pointed out his high level of concentration, saying, "He only finds the way" and "You can't do talk shows." Lee Dong-hwi also expressed bewilderment at Yang Se-jong's "straight-ahead" personality, while noting that his tendency to dive deep into one thing was impressive.
