The reality of the dating expenses between 16th generation Kwang-soo and 22nd generation Hyun-sook was revealed, shocking the panelists.
In the episode of JTBC's 'Love War' broadcast on the 21st, the issue of sponsored dates and cost-sharing between 16th generation Kwang-soo and 22nd generation Hyun-sook was disclosed.

The pension house visited by the two that day was also a place Hyun-sook had received as a sponsorship. Hyun-sook explained, "If you pay for it yourself, it costs 350,000 won," to which Seo Jang-hoon responded, "That's serious." The photo taken immediately after Hyun-sook entered the pension house was also for sponsored content. Upon seeing this, Lee Hyori said, "You worked for it, in a word."
Earlier, Kwang-soo expressed dissatisfaction over an incompatible grill, and Seo Jang-hoon pointed out, "Even if the grill doesn't fit, you should endure it."
When asked by the production team why they were dating through sponsorships, Hyun-sook said, "I started accepting sponsorships to avoid spending much on dates because I felt awkward," and added, "Oppa has zero savings, and his savings are actually negative."
In response, Lee Hyori stated, "Now I understand the reason. I know why he's catering to her." Seo Jang-hoon also remarked, "Don't date. You shouldn't continue a relationship when you can't afford it; dating should happen only when you have the financial freedom," and further noted, "Since he lacks mental peace, he gets irritated over trivial matters."

Notably, Hyun-sook revealed that she had received a total of 33 sponsorships over the past year to fund her dates. When the production team asked, "Have you ever gone on a date without sponsorship?" Hyun-sook answered, "No," surprising everyone.
Lee Hyori questioned, "He has a boyfriend yet only goes on sponsored dates. Why are they even meeting?"
Seo Jang-hoon clarified, "It's not wrong to eat at places covered by sponsorships. The problem is that all dates are sponsored," adding, "This causes the purpose of dating to disappear."
Additionally, it was revealed that their phone calls relied on Hyun-sook's Daejeon plan, and Kwang-soo even gifted coffee coupons he had used to Hyun-sook. It was reported that actual dating expenses are being shared between Hyun-sook and Kwang-soo in an approximate 9-to-1 ratio.
Kwang-soo found himself in a financially strained situation after leaving a major corporation, as his business ventures did not go well.
