'Poison Apple' Season 2: 5 Hosts Engage in Heated Debate Over 'No Contact' & 'Drinking Etiquette', Jeon Hyun-moo Cracks Up Audience with 'Top 3 Excuses'

The five main hosts of 'Real Love Experiment: Poison Apple' Season 2 – Jeon Hyun-moo, Yang Se-chan, Lee Eun-ji, Yoon Tae-jin, and Heo Young-ji – are set for a fiery discussion about partners going ‘out of touch’ and ‘drinking etiquette.’

In the upcoming episode, airing on the 8th, the show will delve into a contestant's dilemma: her boyfriend becomes unreachable whenever he visits his hometown.

The contestant, who has been dating her boyfriend for nearly 600 days since university, shared her concerns about his frequent drinking sessions and complete lack of communication from evenings until the next morning during his hometown visits.

Jeon Hyun-moo and Yang Se-chan took a defensive stance, suggesting, “It happens when you’re having fun,” and “He was probably too tired to contact her.”

However, Heo Young-ji retorted, “What could possibly be that tiring?” while Lee Eun-ji emphasized, “We just want to know that ‘you (the girlfriend) are also being considered.’” Yang Se-chan humorously fired back, “When did you guys ever consider us?” leaving everyone in laughter.

Jeon Hyun-moo resonated with the audience by listing the “top 3 excuses for going out of touch”: “My phone was in my bag,” “It was on silent,” or “The battery died.” Lee Eun-ji’s joke about needing to attend a “divorce preparation camp” further amplified the studio’s comedic atmosphere.

The debate then shifted to ‘drinking etiquette.’ When the male protagonist tenderly served food to a female participant, Heo Young-ji exclaimed, “That’s like the ‘perilla leaf debate.’ Why are you serving her?” But Jeon Hyun-moo calmed the situation, saying, “Let’s not exaggerate. The protagonist is sitting in the center, should he just fold his arms? Let’s not nitpick!”

Initially, the contestant seemed to take a positive view, stating, “My boyfriend is usually very considerate. That seems like good manners.” However, her reaction dramatically shifted to an enraged “That’s crazy!” after witnessing a compromising moment between the protagonist and another female participant.

The episode leaves viewers wondering if the protagonist succumbed to the ‘poison apple’s’ temptation and the reason behind the contestant’s delayed but intense outburst.

Netizens commented, 'The boyfriend going out of contact is so relatable,' 'Women just want to feel considered,' 'Drinking etiquette is really important... need to be considerate of the other person,' and 'Honestly, Jeon Hyun-moo has a point, it's possible to be too tired to contact.' The discussion sparked active engagement.
