A date struggling to decide on a meal menu, mixed reactions to the attitude of a 30-year-old male participant

Participants of the JTBC entertainment program 'Love War' showed conflicting attitudes while deciding on a meal menu during a date, leading to tension. In the video of episode 14 of the program broadcast on September 28, 2026, the attitude shown by a male participant during the process of choosing a meal menu became a hot topic.

"Pudding instead of rice"... Disagreements in the menu decision process

In the video, the participants continued discussions regarding various menus such as omurice, Napolitan pasta, and mentaiko shrimp pasta. During this process, instead of choosing a meal menu, the male participant repeatedly expressed his desire to eat custard pudding. In response, the female participant Eun-hye mentioned that custard pudding is not a meal and encouraged him to eat, but the male participant showed difficulty in choosing a menu, stating he had no appetite.

The male participant showed a fluctuating attitude, mentioning Napolitan pasta and then looking for custard pudding again, and subsequently, situations continued where he reversed his menu choice by saying again that he was not hungry. According to the subtitles and dialogue in the video, the male participant showed behavior such as refusing specific menus or preferring dessert items instead of a meal.

Differences in values surrounding dining attitudes

Differences in perspectives between the two participants regarding dining methods were also revealed. Eun-hye expressed her desire for the other person to have a proper meal. Regarding the situation where the other person refused a meal and only wanted to eat sweet food, Eun-hye expressed difficulty regarding the fact that the situation was not proceeding smoothly, even though it should be a matter of simply eating what one wants to eat.

On the other hand, the male participant showed the position that, before the issue of being hungry or full, he must eat what he wants to eat. Regarding this attitude, the video saw reactions that the behavior of the male participant, who was born in '97, did not match his appearance, along with mentions of realistic dining attitudes. The participants showed that this attitude appearing during the menu decision process was a point that went beyond a simple meal issue and affected the flow of the date.
