In "Love War," Lee Hyo-ri offered advice drawn from her own experience to the girlfriend who, after winning a beauty pageant, became consumed by the notion that she is now a "public figure."

Episode 16 of JTBC's dating reality show "Love War," broadcast on the night of the 12th, revealed the conflict between a girlfriend boasting of her stunning visuals as a former Miss World Korea beauty and her boyfriend, Dolsu, who serves as her right hand. While the girlfriend, calling herself a "public figure" after winning the pageant, attends various events and lives what she describes as the most radiant life of her career, her boyfriend, a job seeker, suffers from relatively low self-esteem, evoking sympathy.

The boyfriend had been engaged in extreme physical endurance battles on every date due to his girlfriend's obsession with trends. The girlfriend would visit any place that became a topic on social media; she traveled for 1 hour and 40 minutes in the scorching heat of a perceived temperature of 40 degrees Celsius to go on a bread pilgrimage, and even waited three hours just to eat one piece of wax-pressed salt bread. The boyfriend carried her bag and shopping bags and took charge of all her errands. Watching this, Lee Hyo-ri shook her head in disbelief, saying, "Even Sang-soon's older brother couldn't wait that long."

The boyfriend's hardships did not end there. He had voluntarily taken on the role of an "unpaid manager" for his girlfriend as she attended various events after winning the pageant. Although he devoted himself to managing her event schedule and bringing her whatever she needed, he was actually suppressing his own emotions. The boyfriend confessed that while he found it stressful that she took it for granted when he catered to every one of her needs from start to finish, he had endured it out of fear that refusing would strain their relationship. In response, Kim Hee-chul expressed regret, saying, "You have become a voluntary slave."

The romance looked different from the girlfriend's perspective. Instead of expressing his dissatisfaction honestly, the boyfriend sighed or acted irritable, making things difficult for her, and he had lost so much confidence that he even refused to take photos together. The boyfriend, who was preparing for the nutritionist exam, had become increasingly discouraged as he compared his reality with his girlfriend's glamorous life. The girlfriend also expressed her hurt over her boyfriend's changes, saying, "I wish you would return to the confident state you were in at the beginning of our relationship."

In response, Lee Hyo-ri offered sincere advice to both of them. To the girlfriend, she said, "Youth and beautiful appearance do not last long," and advised her to "create a weapon of confidence gained through effort." Then, addressing the boyfriend who had become incredibly small in stature, she opened by saying, "You resemble Lee Sang-soon and Ha-gwan," eliciting laughter, before encouraging him by saying, "Blooming times are all different. There are flowers that bloom late." Seo Jang-hoon also delivered a sharp remark, saying, "Public figure? You are both too out of touch" and "Get a grip." He further emphasized that they must "abandon the idea of being public figures" and "cultivate their own competitiveness rather than being captivated by momentary fame."

Ultimately, the two confirmed each other's true feelings and chose to continue their relationship. The girlfriend expressed her regret, saying, "My boyfriend is someone who boosted my self-esteem, but I don't think I have been able to fulfill that role for him," and the boyfriend vowed, "I will really try hard to boost my self-esteem."

"Love War" airs every Monday night at 9:50 p.m. on JTBC.
