A bodybuilder couple who have been dating for one year and eight months will appear on episode 18 of the JTBC variety show 'Dating War.' The two candidly share how their relationship and conflicts have changed during their competition preparation.

'Dating War' is a reality program in which couples on the verge of breakup decide whether to stay together or part ways, featuring Lee Hyo-ri, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul. Singer Jung Eun-ji and actor Choi Daniel join the show as special diplomats.

The couple spends half of the year preparing for bodybuilding competitions, following strict diets alongside their workouts. The boyfriend said he has focused on managing his physique, lowering his body fat to the 2% range, and that his libido decreases during competition season. The girlfriend revealed that the last time they had any physical contact, such as a peck on the cheek, was three months ago.

Lee Hyo-ri and Choi Daniel expressed surprise at the situation. Lee Hyo-ri said, "What's the point of getting a body like that!" and Choi Daniel empathized, saying, "You've got that body for nothing."

Meanwhile, Jung Eun-ji named hip exercises as her favorite workout, living up to her nickname 'Jung Kardashian.' Lee Hyo-ri praised Jung Eun-ji's workout, saying, "She looks so beautiful when she exercises." Choi Daniel then showed interest in Jung Eun-ji's dating style, and Seo Jang-hoon asked her, "What do you think of Choi Daniel?" Lee Hyo-ri brightened the mood by responding, "Choi Daniel seems especially giddy today."
