Lee Hyori steps in as a negotiation diplomat for the boyfriend's side to mediate the situation, but she appears flustered by the girlfriend's strong vigilance and unexpected reactions. It is reported that Lee Hyori herself could not hide her tension at the sight of the girlfriend casting sharp glares toward her partner.

Watching this, Kim Hee Chul made the set burst into laughter with his characteristic witty metaphor, saying, "At this rate, it feels like an idol's video call fansign schedule."

Above all, what captures the viewers' attention is Lee Joon's honest romantic confession.

Watching the story unfold, he recalled his past relationship and opened up, saying, "There was a girlfriend in the past who really wanted to get married."

He continued to candidly confess the pressure and psychological burden regarding marriage, stating, "Every time the topic of marriage plans came up, I felt as if my heart was slowly being squeezed."

In response to Lee Joon's sincere confession, the cast members offered empathy and comfort, leading to various discussions on how differing values regarding dating and marriage affect relationships.

Seo Jang Hoon also showed understanding for the girlfriend's position, saying, "I will apologize on her behalf," which brought laughter to the set while simultaneously comforting the boyfriend.

In the broadcast, the conflict between lovers dreaming of different futures is expected to unfold in an unexpected direction, heightening curiosity with an ending reminiscent of a twist drama.

'Love War' is a dating talk program where cast members such as Lee Hyori, Seo Jang Hoon, and Kim Hee Chul, who possess both dating experience and realistic advice, analyze the conflicts of real couples and suggest solutions from various perspectives.

The program continues to generate buzz through the cast's uninhibited banter, realistic empathy, and unpredictable couple stories, garnering high interest from viewers, including reaching number one on Disney+'s 'Today's TOP10 Series in Korea' as of the 3rd.

Lee Joon began a public relationship with actress Jung So-min, whom he met through the 2017 KBS2 drama 'My Father is Strange,' and continued their love for about three years.
