Yewon, formerly of the group Jewelry, announced that she recently ended her relationship due to her boyfriend's drinking problem.
In an episode of JTBC’s dating reality show "Love War," broadcast on the 14th, Yewon appeared as a special diplomat. The episode drew attention with a "zodiac sign couple" — a pair overcoming a 12-year age gap — who served as clients.
The girlfriend, who is 12 years older, chose to live away from home for her boyfriend but struggled with the young man’s constant need for care in every aspect of life. In a VCR reflecting the girlfriend’s perspective, it was shown that the boyfriend neglected household chores and even asked her to help at her own meat restaurant. The girlfriend expressed her frustration, saying, "I came to Daegu where I know no one, thinking I’m contributing by handling everything from housework to running my shop, but he seems to take everything for granted." Whenever conflicts arose, the boyfriend avoided conversation, leaving the girlfriend wiping away tears alone in the living room, which moved viewers to sympathy.
Yewon, appearing as a "special diplomat," shared her own struggles in dating younger men, forming an emotional connection with the girlfriend and drawing attention. She openly revealed that the most recent reason for their breakup was her boyfriend’s drinking: "I really hated it when he came over after drinking until dawn. Once, I even waited with a water gun and sprayed him." Her honest confession of their relationship history brought laughter to viewers.

However, a twist unfolded when a VCR featuring the boyfriend’s perspective was released. When the boyfriend invited her to a gathering with friends, the girlfriend responded coldly, asking, "Why should I go to that drinking party?" She also controlled every move of her cohabiting boyfriend at home, even making him feel watched while using the bathroom, shocking Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Hee-chul, and Yewon. The boyfriend revealed his inner thoughts, saying, "When I come home, it feels like there’s a teacher in the house." In response, Seo Jang-hoon emphasized the need for acceptance toward the girlfriend: "It’s not love to try to create a husband who fits your taste. Although she is 12 years older than him, she doesn’t act mature at all. She seems more like his peer."
Another issue arose between the couple: the boyfriend’s allergy symptoms worsened due to the girlfriend’s pet cat. Despite receiving a doctor’s diagnosis that he must separate from "Goyang-i," the girlfriend gave a cold response, saying, "If we live together, the symptoms will gradually improve," leaving him hurt.
Lee Hyori offered heartfelt advice to the couple on the brink of collapse: "Breaking up isn’t necessarily wrong. If you hurt each other just because you say you love each other, it’s a relationship that should end." She added, "I hope you deeply reflect on whether your feelings are truly love."
The boyfriend’s side proposed negotiation conditions such as "not interrupting during conversations and waiting until the other person finishes speaking" and "not making judgments prematurely," while the girlfriend’s side suggested "expressing grievances honestly and accurately when they arise." Regarding the allergy issue, the couple agreed to live separately for a short time to adjust. Despite the age gap and Goyang-i’s allergy problem, the two chose "peace" over continuing or ending their relationship at this crossroads of meeting and parting.
The broadcast on this day achieved a national viewership rating of 2.2% and 2.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, setting a new record for the program itself (based on Nielsen Korea).
