The show will premiere on June 23 at 8:50 PM KST, with Yuri appearing as a special guest alongside Kim Heechul, her close friend of 25 years. Love War features Lee Hyori, Seo Jang Hoon and Kim Heechul listening to the stories of couples facing possible breakups. The hosts then decide whether each couple should continue dating or end their relationship.
During the episode, Kim Heechul suddenly refers to Yuri’s dating history and says, “I’ve never seen Yuri’s ex-boyfriends talk bad about her.” Surprised by the unexpected comment, Yuri asks, “Who are you talking about?” Kim Heechul makes her even more nervous by replying, “You know, that person.” His mysterious response immediately attracts the attention of the other cast members.
However, Yuri refuses to remain on the defensive. She warns that she also knows everything about Kim Heechul’s past, saying, “I’m a living witness who knows everything about Heechul since his internship.” Lee Hyori enthusiastically joins the conversation and quips, “It’s perfect. Today we reveal everything about Heechul,” causing the studio to burst into laughter.
Yuri also shows her candid personality as she responds to the couples’ concerns. After hearing about a trainer who works 17 hours a day and his freelance presenter girlfriend, he bluntly advises: “Break up immediately” and: “If this is how you’re going to behave, hire someone.”
Despite his strong comments, Yuri is expected to deeply sympathize with the participants and offer practical relationship advice throughout the episode.
