Kim So-yeon and Jung Il-dae face conflict on JTBC ‘Love War’

On the JTBC reality program ‘Love War’, participants Kim So-yeon (22nd Hyunsuk) and Jung Il-dae (16th Kwangsu) are facing intense conflict regarding finances and future family planning.

Kim So-yeon revealed that she bears nearly all the costs for their dates, often relying on sponsorships, and expressed frustration that Jung seeks approval even for sponsored outings. She further disclosed that Jung has zero savings and is in debt following a failed business venture. The tension escalated over specific incidents involving credit card payments and travel expenses.

In addition to financial strain, the couple is clashing over the topic of pregnancy. Kim shared traumatic experiences from a previous pregnancy, noting she nearly died and suffered extreme physical depletion. Despite this, Jung expressed a strong desire for biological children, citing biological timelines. This disagreement led to sharp critiques from show mentors Lee Hyori and Seo Jang-hoon, who criticized Jung’s approach and the instability of the couple's relationship.
