'Love War' unexpectedly subjects broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon and actor Daniel Choi to suspicion.
JTBC's variety show 'Love War' features three MCs — Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, and Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul — who determine whether couples on the brink of breaking up will continue their relationship or part ways amidst bloody conflicts. Each episode draws attention for the dramatic stories of the couples involved and the unfiltered banter from Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul.
The ninth episode airing tonight on the 18th reveals the story of a couple in conflict due to their boyfriend's obsessive behavior. The boyfriend controls even his girlfriend's nail salon customers, drawing public attention. He demands she not accept male clients and floods her with 150 missed calls and hundreds of text messages whenever he cannot reach her. Even inside their shared home, he constantly checks her whereabouts, unable to be apart from her for a moment. Seo Jang-hoon cuts through the situation by stating, "Obsession is also an illness." Lee Hyori adds blunt advice: "You should go to the hospital for your own sake."
The boyfriend's obsession and suspicion continue in the studio. He even casts wary glances at Seo Jang-hoon and special diplomat Daniel Choi. When Seo Jang-hoon, who regularly visits nail salons, asks his girlfriend where her salon is located, the boyfriend momentarily frowns before unexpectedly revealing jealousy by saying, "I think both of you might find my girlfriend pretty." In response to the boyfriend's jealousy, Seo Jang-hoon urgently confesses his innocence ("I have no feelings for your girlfriend"), triggering laughter from everyone.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori offers advice based on her own experience with an obsessive couple living together. She makes a surprising confession: "I lived with (Lee) Sang-soon oppa for about two years before getting married." Her tailored advice is said to perfectly address the couple's 24-hour conflicts. Particularly, she provides customized solutions on how to calm the boyfriend's anxiety regarding her beautiful girlfriend who enjoys drinking with friends, reportedly earning the girlfriend's nod of approval.
'Love War' Episode 9 will air at 8:50 p.m. on the 18th.
