The hidden card of this season's 'Couple Palace 2' seems to be Bae Joo-hee.

In the episode that aired on the 19th, tvN's 'Couple Palace 2' provided the male and female contestants in the single zone with a chance to date outdoors by securing a certain number of votes. Bae Joo-hee went to the studio of Kwon Yeong-taek, the representative of Indie label No. 13, and had a good time listening to music with him.

Choi Jae-yeon noted, "Expressing my feelings directly to Bae Joo-hee could make her uncomfortable. It seems like other people are curious, and if it's because she's sorry she can't let go of me, then shouldn't I step back?" as he pondered.

Heo Gyeong-hwan agreed, saying, "If feelings of affection seem burdensome to the other person, it could feel suffocating." The one who actively supported Choi Jae-yeon was Lee Sang-gyeong. Lee Sang-gyeong encouraged Choi Jae-yeon, saying, "Can't you just have some fun?" and "Look around at other people too." Choi Jae-yeon replied, "I just like this. If it doesn't work out, I'll accept it as it is." In response, the panel members expressed their agreement, saying, "There's nothing you can do. That's just his nature."

A moment of choice came for these single men and women. It was to give two proposal cards to the male and female contestants they liked. If each pair exchanged one card, they would become a couple and enter the couple zone.

After giving a vote to Bae Joo-hee, Choi Jae-yeon even presented her with a madeleine. Choi Jae-yeon stated, "Since I decided to express my feelings directly, I gave her everything." He was fearless, and Bae Joo-hee seemed deeply impressed by that.

Bae Joo-hee commented, "The date was wonderful. But I must get married," confiding her concerns to her close female friends. In this way, Bae Joo-hee gave two proposal cards to Choi Jae-yeon and Lee Sang-gyeong. Lee Sang-gyeong appeared puzzled and said, "I found this surprising. What is this?" while Choi Jae-yeon's expression hardened quickly.

Ironically, Lee Sang-gyeong was only expressing his feelings directly to Seo Jin-joo. Bae Joo-hee expressed regret, saying, "Why am I feeling confused?" Lee Sang-gyeong stated plainly, "I thought it was right to choose one person, and I wanted to go into the couple zone with Seo Jin-joo."

However, when Bae Joo-hee and Lee Sang-gyeong talked, the situation changed. Lee Sang-gyeong began cautiously, stating, "I thought you were just here for fun. It seems everyone thinks that." Bae Joo-hee responded seriously, saying, "Not at all. I wanted to get married before graduating from college when I was a student. That's how serious I am about marriage."

Moreover, Bae Joo-hee mentioned, "I've been concerned about Choi Jae-yeon and Lee Sang-gyeong the whole time," again referring to her ideal type. Lee Sang-gyeong then hinted, "It would be nice to talk more about it."

Upon returning, Bae Joo-hee expressed to Seo Jin-joo, "Why is Lee Sang-gyeong so annoyingly handsome?" and "I'm feeling so confused and troubled." Meanwhile, Kim Je-na, a gayageum player who was listening nearby, criticized Bae Joo-hee, saying, "We were just saying 'that's right' to Bae Joo-hee, who was pondering about Lee Sang-gyeong, when you suddenly started to speak like you were the one who should be heard."
