The production team of 'Love War' has directly revealed the reasons for casting Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul.

The new JTBC variety show 'Love War,' set to premiere on June 23, is a dating reality program where dating experts Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul determine whether couples on the brink of breaking up will stay together or part ways amidst a bloody war of love.

Among these, the 'Love War' production team has raised expectations by previewing the war-level tick-tock between the three MCs: Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul. Regarding the casting reasons for the three MCs, the production team said, "When we thought of the concept of settling things for couples on the verge of breakup, the first people who came to mind were Lee Hyori and Seo Jang-hoon, and after the two joined, Kim Hee-chul naturally came to mind," drawing attention. In particular, they stated, "Lee Hyori creates memorable quotes with her deep insight into people's emotions and the context of relationships, while Seo Jang-hoon is someone who realistically points out the core of the problem. Above all, the honest charm of the two fits the program perfectly, making them the top priority for casting."

Continuing, PD Park Eun-young added, "Seo Jang-hoon, who seems unbeatable with his 'cutting words,' sometimes has to step back in front of Lee Hyori, who counters with unexpectedness and intuition. The intense back-and-forth between the two will provide the fun of watching another 'Love War.'" Furthermore, "Kim Hee-chul, with his diverse dating experiences and unique ability to empathize, immerses himself deeply in the stories and introduces new topics between Lee Hyori and Seo Jang-hoon, making the discussions even richer and adding a unique kind of fun," leading to expectations of a no-compromise verbal battle among the three.

The shocking stories of 'Love War' that stir up the three MCs are also a point of high expectation. The production team reported, "The most memorable first couple to request the show laid bare everything from differences in views about the future between work and love to issues of physical touch, leading to a parade of direct remarks from the MCs," raising expectations for the premiere. Previewing the appearance of a couple with a fortune-teller background, the production team revealed an interesting point, saying, "It seems occupational characteristics also affect dating."

CP Kwon Hae-bom said, "'Love War' is a dating variety show unlike anything seen before," and added, "Dating is not made up of excitement alone. There is excitement and laughter, but also tears, conflicts, and moments like war. 'Love War' captures the true face of real love through moments when love wavers. You will become overly immersed in the stories of 20- and 30-something couples who love passionately, fight fiercely, and genuinely ponder." This statement further heightened expectations.

Meanwhile, 'Love War' will premiere on Tuesday, June 23, at 8:50 p.m. on JTBC.
