Singer Lee Hyori offered advice as a senior in marriage to a seven-year dating couple of unknown actors who are experiencing conflict due to differing economic values.

The eighth episode of JTBC's love reality show "Love War" (directed by Kwon Hae-bom and Park Eun-young), which aired on the 11th, featured comedian Kim Won-hoon as a special diplomat. The episode introduced a "seven-year couple" who have been in a long-term relationship while pursuing their acting dreams.

The couple, Kang Bin and Lee Soobin, who developed into lovers after majoring in acting at the same university, still end each day by saying, "I love you today, tomorrow, and the day after." However, they frequently clash over an uncertain future and financial issues. When the boyfriend appeared, Kim Won-hoon said, "He's so handsome," unable to take his eyes off him, while Seo Jang-hoon remarked, "He looks a bit like actor Yoon Si-yoon."

The boyfriend, who resembles Yoon Si-yoon, works irregularly and has no fixed income. Despite this, he exercises for four hours every morning, causing concern for his girlfriend. The girlfriend runs a theater company, directs performances, and also works as an English musical academy instructor, juggling both livelihood and dreams. In the midst of this, she revealed that her boyfriend's bank account balance is less than 1 million won, surprising everyone.

Even though they struggle to cover living expenses and dating costs, the girlfriend expressed disappointment when he refused to schedule performance dates due to a CrossFit competition. When the boyfriend said he likes the famous quote, "Don't let money chase you; make money chase you," Kim Hee-cheol pointed out his lack of realistic awareness by saying, "It seems like he's living alone in a flower garden."

When it was revealed that the boyfriend had donated income earned from past video editing work to his club, Seo Jang-hoon offered practical advice: "Donation is good, but donating when you don't even have money for yourself is just showing off. Saving for the future should come first."

Meanwhile, the girlfriend hurt her boyfriend's pride with remarks that seemed to disregard his acting passion and financial stability. She said, "I think you're handsome," and added, "I wish you'd compete based on looks rather than acting skills," thereby downplaying his acting ability. In response, Seo Jang-hoon expressed concern: "If you're going to compete based on looks, the outcome must be decided before you get older." The girlfriend then stated, "The value system that must be overcome first for marriage is economic values," which left her boyfriend dejected. In turn, the boyfriend confessed, "I want to keep striving for my acting dream until I'm 40, but hearing about marriage brings a sense of responsibility and pressure."

The couple's conflict reached its peak over the boyfriend's female friend issue. The girlfriend explained her reason for being wary of the female friend: "There was an incident where the boyfriend and his female friend misunderstood each other as having feelings for one another, and they even made a short film based on that episode." When the girlfriend said she would never allow them to meet alone, the boyfriend firmly replied, "She's just a precious friend like family," creating a standoff that shocked everyone. It turned out that the female friend had claimed to be his number-one fan and was someone who protected his self-esteem.

Kim Won-hoon, appearing as a "special diplomat," said, "I also met my wife while she was majoring in acting at the same university, so it feels like I'm looking back at my past. During our unknown days, we dated while riding on factory trucks where I worked part-time." He deeply empathized with the economic difficulties and conflicts faced by the unknown actor couple. He also added, "I hope they become a relationship that understands each other and achieves their dreams in a healthy way," offering his support for their relationship.

Lee Hyori, who is married to singer Lee Sang-soon, advised: "Meeting someone seems to be about filling in each other's shortcomings." She continued, "Rather than fighting with your boyfriend over why he lacks economic values, I hope you become a relationship that fills in each other's gaps and creates synergy."

Amid the sincere advice and encouragement from Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Hee-cheol, and Kim Won-hoon, the couple chose to reconnect with "meeting" once again, reaffirming their love. Gazing at each other, they tenderly expressed, "I love you today, tomorrow, and the day after," bringing smiles of contentment to all present.
