Singer Lee Hyori ultimately shook her head in disapproval at the behavior of the male partner in a couple where the man is an "unemployed youth."
On the episode of JTBC's variety show 'Love War' broadcast on the 5th, a couple who are currently taking breaks from work appeared to reveal conflicts over their spending habits and job-hunting issues.
That day, the male partner revealed that he had worked as a fitness trainer for six years before experiencing burnout and taking a break from work since July of last year. The female partner was also on a break after quitting her hospital administrative position in May of last year.
With both partners not working, the man stated that he had started investing in stocks after resigning. He said, "At first, I was making profits of 300,000 to 400,000 won, so I thought I could make money," and revealed that he had broken his existing savings deposits to deposit approximately 18 million won into his stock account. In particular, noting that he had invested in high-risk products such as leverage and surging stocks, he stated, "My current return rate is minus 30%. I have suffered a loss of 6 million won."

The losses did not end there. The man revealed that he had also invested money entrusted to him by his girlfriend in stocks. The woman explained, "Since I didn't know much about stocks, I handed it over because he said he was good at it," stating she had given a total of 2.8 million won. However, the return rate on this investment fund reportedly dropped to approximately -70%, shocking the cast members.
The couple, who have no income, had significantly reduced their dating expenses. Previously, they each deposited 300,000 won into a joint dating account, but currently they are depositing 100,000 won each. During a Han River date, when the girlfriend said she wanted to eat ramen and snacks, he tried to dissuade her, and he was seen saving on expenses by buying one bottle of a beverage to share.
However, the woman revealed, "I have always been frugal, but it seems like he is trying to save even more when spending with me," adding, "It hurts because I wonder if he doesn't want to spend money on me."

In the midst of this, the couple's conflict deepened further over job-hunting issues. The man repeatedly questioned his girlfriend about preparing for professional certifications and future career plans, urging her to find a job.
In response, the woman said, "I have only been on break for one and a half or two and a half months, but hearing such things makes my depression intensify rapidly, and I feel embarrassed rather than feeling like I am with a lover," adding, "Whenever you bring up job hunting, I want to cry. It's not that I'm not trying." She continued, "I feel anxious and my heart sinks. I think, 'What if I keep living like this?'"
Watching this, Seo Jang-hoon pointed out, "Is it right for you to say these things when you are also on a break?" He then added, "If you want to pressure someone with such talk, you should first show exemplary results yourself."
Despite this, as the boyfriend's nagging about job hunting continued, Lee Hyori ultimately shook her head. Lee Hyori gave a candid reaction, saying, "I'm sick and tired of it. I would rather be criticized," adding, "His tone is very annoying."
Even so, Lee Hyori said, "Each person should worry about themselves," expressing sympathy by stating, "Your story really hurts my heart." She then advised, "It would be good if each person worries about themselves, comforts the other, and gives them courage by saying they can do it."
