Singer Lee Hyori reveals her distress after hearing the story of a couple who are both “inactive youth.”

In Episode 15 of “Love War” (directed by Kwon Hae-bom and Park Eun-young), airing on the afternoon of the 5th, a couple appears who embodies the real-life struggles of young people in the era of 2.5 million “inactive youth.”

On this day, the pair consists of a boyfriend who quit his job after six years due to burnout and a girlfriend who has frequently changed jobs while searching for her true aptitude. They confess to conflicts arising from differences in spending habits and stress related to job hunting.

In particular, the boyfriend, who is currently not working, checks on his girlfriend’s job-seeking intentions during a meal and then relentlessly bombards her with advice ranging from preparing for professional certifications to job recommendations, pressuring her to find employment. In response, the girlfriend confesses her anxiety, saying she feels like her heart drops into her stomach, before bursting into tears while stating, “I’m crying because I look pathetic to myself.”

In reaction, Seo Jang-hoon asks, “Is it right for you to say this when you are also taking a break?” expressing anger at the boyfriend’s hypocritical pressure to find a job.

Meanwhile, when their dating account balance drops to 100,000 won, the boyfriend enters an ultra-frugal mode for dating expenses, causing his girlfriend to feel hurt. He shares a single bottle of soda with her and, even during a home date where they take cold showers after turning off the air conditioner, insists that she not run the water all the way open. His strict control over spending continues. It is reported that the girlfriend has declared a breakup more than 100 times, shocking viewers.

Watching the couple’s conflict, Lee Hyori says, “Each person should worry about themselves,” but also expresses her sympathy by saying, “Your story really breaks my heart.” Furthermore, it is reported that Seo Jang-hoon delivered a powerful reality check, stating, “This is crazy love. It is not the time for these two to be in a relationship.” The episode airs at 9:50 p.m. on the 5th.
