Misunderstandings Arise in 'Couple Palace 2' After Lee Sang-kyung Chooses Bae Joo-hee
In the latest episode of Mnet's Couple Palace 2, which aired on April 2, 2025, Lee Sang-kyung chose Bae Joo-hee for his final proposal, leading to a series of misunderstandings fueled by Seo Jin-joo's comments.
The episode focused on the singles as they prepared for the final proposal voting. The men made their choices, with Choi Jae-yeon, Kwon Young-taek, and Lee Sang-kyung selecting Bae Joo-hee, while Hwang Jae-geun proposed to Seo Jin-joo. Seo Jin-joo was visibly taken aback by Lee Sang-kyung's choice, expressing her confusion about his feelings.
After the proposals, Seo Jin-joo shared her thoughts, saying, "I'm really confused. Suddenly, he chose someone else. He seems uncertain about me, but the other girl says she likes him? Is that all I am to him?"
On the other hand, Bae Joo-hee, who had previously shown interest in Choi Jae-yeon, appeared to waver in her feelings for Lee Sang-kyung. She confided in Choi Jae-yeon, saying, "If I'm swayed by Lee Sang-kyung, should I really choose you? I feel like I wouldn't have been this uncertain in a different situation, and I feel bad about it."
Choi Jae-yeon comforted her, saying, "I told you not to apologize. I haven't done anything to deserve your apology. I haven't shown you anything. There's nothing I can do." Overwhelmed with emotion, he left the room, while Bae Joo-hee tearfully expressed her regret in an interview, saying, "I'm so sorry. I can't repay the courage you've shown me."
Meanwhile, Seo Jin-joo confronted Lee Sang-kyung, asking if his final proposal was an attempt to distance himself from her. Lee Sang-kyung clarified, "That's not how I express myself. I wanted to hear straightforward compliments. It doesn't feel right to just date without understanding each other. Bae Joo-hee expresses herself so clearly, and that keeps coming to my mind."
As the episode concluded, Seo Jin-joo told Kim Je-ni in front of Bae Joo-hee, "He didn't choose me because he likes her; he did it because he feels he needs to move on from me." She added, "He said he voted because his feelings were too complicated, and I feel like I haven't given him enough reassurance." Bae Joo-hee, confused by Seo Jin-joo's words, ended up in tears as misunderstandings piled up.
