On how to recognize dating violence early, Pyo Chang-won advised, "Avoid anyone who is overly interested in your phone. You must break up immediately," he warned firmly.

He further advised, "If someone makes threatening remarks like 'I won't let you go,' they are likely to act on it. Any unwanted or violent contact should be reported immediately."

Kwon Il-yong added, "Pay attention to how they relieve stress. Violence will eventually come back to you." Host Yoo Jae-suk urged viewers, "This is not something you can handle alone, so please report it to the police."
