'Love Intervention: Men and Women': Actress speaks out about boyfriend's obsession with 'perfect body'; pressurising her to get cosmetic surgery

An anonymous female celebrity shared a disturbing account on 'Love Intervention: Men and Women' 10-1, revealing how her boyfriend's obsession with a "perfect body" escalated into pressure for pelvic fat-grafting surgery.

The episode, released today on a TV Channel, featured actor Byun Jin-soo and comedian Han Yun-seo as guests reacting to the controversy. The story began at a gym, where the woman, once frail and inexperienced with workouts, received help from a man who later became her boyfriend after preventing a training accident, only for their dates to turn into an endless "gym tour."

From gym romance to coercion

After they became a couple, he booked a body profile shoot without consent, corrected her posture even during intimate moments, and imposed diet rules, once bringing six boiled eggs to a meal, saying the menu lacked protein.

When she suggested attending a festival together, he agreed only if she underwent pelvic fat-grafting, claiming her "hip line was lacking," and pushed a 30% "friend discount," adding, "Even if we break up, the perfect body remains.

Guests condemn body control

Han Yun-seo condemned the coercion, saying even parents should not force unwanted choices, warning that after hips, he would target shoulders or trapezius next. Actor Byun Jin-soo quipped the boyfriend "deserves a punch," while panelist Kim Min-jung urged viewers never to do anything under pressure, emphasizing respect for autonomy.

The format invites viewers into a reflective space where consent, health, and self-worth outweigh performative aesthetics.
