[theqoo] KIM HEECHUL DROPS BOMBSHELL “MY GIRLFRIEND NEEDS TO KNEEL WITHOUT ME TELLING HER TO” → LEE HYORI, STRAIGHT FACE (LOVE WAR)

In the first episode of JTBC’s dating reality show Love War, which premiered on the 23rd, Lee Hyori, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Heechul appeared as MCs, serving as mediators for couples facing relationship crises. Girls’ Generation member Yuri joined the show as the first episode’s guest.

Before the mediation began in earnest, the cast took a personality test designed to assess their dating styles. The results identified Kim Heechul as an ESTJ type with a strong tendency to control others, nicknamed the “Dictator Genghis Khan” type, which caused a stir on set.

After seeing the result, Lee Hyori asked Kim, “Have you ever demanded that your girlfriend beg you?” and “Have you ever told your girlfriend to get down on her knees?” Kim initially waved off the suggestion, saying, “I’ve never forced anyone to bow.” However, he then added, “Doesn’t everyone tell their partner to get on their knees at least once while dating?” a comment that shocked those present.

Hearing this, Lee Hyori and Yuri immediately pushed back, asking, “Who does that?” As the entire studio reacted with surprise, Kim hurriedly tried to explain himself, saying, “Even if I don’t tell them to get on their knees, don’t they just do it on their own?” His clarification only fueled the controversy further.

When Kim later appeared somewhat intimidated, Seo Jang-hoon joked, “Kim Heechul normally isn’t intimidated by anyone, but he gets a little nervous around Hyori,” drawing laughter from the studio.
