When this fact was revealed, the cast could not hide their astonishment. Panelist Seo Jang-hoon strongly criticized, saying, ″That’s nonsense,″ and Lee Hyori commented, ″It’s absurd.

The girlfriend said, ″If there are a hundred people in the world, I think there are a hundred kinds of love.″ In that episode, the two faced the moment of final decision.

Meanwhile, recently ’Love War’ faced criticism from viewers due to controversies over authenticity, as couples who appeared on the show opened YouTube channels and released explanatory videos after the broadcast. Regarding this, Lee Ah-young apologized, saying, ″The show is unscripted, and the worries were real,″ and added, ″I’m sorry if it felt lacking in sincerity.″ The production team did not issue a separate statement regarding manipulation allegations. At the beginning, a story about ’Mormot PD’ visiting a yoga center to recruit Lee Hyori was revealed and became a hot topic. At that time, a shaman advised, ″You will meet a benefactor, and the program will do well,″ and Lee Hyori reacted with surprise, saying, ″I thought I came purely to do yoga.″
