[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Seo Jang-hoon from JTBC’s “Love War” is furious with his “divorced” boyfriend, Shim Gyu-deok.
Episode 5 of the JTBC variety show “Love War,” airing on the 21st, features “divorced couple” Shim Gyu-deok and Lee Ah-young, who have revealed they are preparing to remarry. In particular, Shim Gyu-deok—a lawyer and S University graduate—doesn’t hesitate to belittle his girlfriend Lee Ah-young, asking, “Have you ever supported anyone else with the money you’ve earned?”
Seo Jang-hoon points out, “You spout the worst lines like it’s second nature,” adding, “Gyu-deok, how much do you make? How much do you earn a month that you’re acting so cocky?” Lee Hyo-ri also delivers a stinging rebuke to Shim Gyu-deok’s behavior, which seems to disregard his girlfriend, asking, “Is dating a courtroom battle?”
Then, his “divorced” girlfriend Lee Ah-young confesses, “He had a designer wedding ring made for his ex-wife, but told me to buy a knockoff,” infuriating Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Hee-chul, and Chae Jung-an. Even Lee Hyori and Seo Jang-hoon—who had been on Shim Gyu-deok’s side—declare they can no longer defend him, and Shim Gyu-deok eventually breaks down in tears.
To find out exactly why Shim Gyu-deok shed tears—and to see the full story of the “remarriage war” between the “divorced couple” Shim Gyu-deok and Lee Ah-young, whose conflict reached a fever pitch right before their remarriage—tune in to the broadcast of “Love War.”
Meanwhile, Shim Gyu-deok and Lee Ah-young appeared on MBN’s dating show “Divorced Singles,” which features divorced men and women. Lee Ah-young appeared in Season 1, while Shim Gyu-deok appeared in Season 5. It is reported that the two went on a blind date before the show aired and developed a romantic relationship after the show ended.
“Love War” airs every Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
