A misunderstanding about Lee Sang-gyeong arose due to Seo Jin-joo's remarks on 'Couple Palace 2.'
On the broadcast of Mnet 'Couple Palace 2' on Feb. 2, the stories of single men and women ahead of the final proposal partner voting were depicted.
On that day, the final proposal was conducted through voting by the men. Hwang Jae-geun went directly to Seo Jin-joo, and Lee Sang-gyeong said, "I am reconsidering. I am not sure about Jin-joo and Ju-hee right now," expressing his concerns and ultimately choosing Bae Ju-hee.
Lee Sang-gyeong stated, "Jin-joo said she wanted to visit our dermatology clinic. If there is actual interest, wouldn’t good things come out? I think the person who actually showed interest was Ju-hee," revealing the reason for his choice. Furthermore, Kwon Yeong-taek and Choi Jae-yeon also chose Bae Ju-hee, and Seo Jin-joo was bewildered by the choice not being her.
After the proposal ended, Seo Jin-joo said in an interview, "I am so confused. Suddenly someone else was chosen. This person doesn’t have confidence in me these days, but (another) person says they like me? Am I not just a fallback for them?" He then speculated to Kim Je-ni, "If Bae Ju-hee says to Lee Sang-gyeong, 'Give me your vote,' wouldn’t that be enough to shake things up?" Kim Je-na added, "She (Bae Ju-hee) is really not great. I’m disappointed."
Continuing, Seo Jin-joo stated, "I could have given confidence to Lee Sang-gyeong, but I didn’t," and Kim Je-na observed, "But I think that person kept saying that. So, is Bae Ju-hee really that attractive?" The two continued the gossip, prompting MC Heo Kyung-hwan to remark, "Bae Ju-hee is right next to you."
Meanwhile, Bae Ju-hee had previously announced a direct approach to Choi Jae-yeon. After unexpectedly being chosen by Lee Sang-gyeong, he expressed to Choi Jae-yeon, "If I am swayed by No. 24 (Lee Sang-gyeong), then it seems right for me to choose you, Jae-yeon. If the situation were the same, I wouldn’t have been swayed this way, and I feel so sorry for being the only one shaken up."
Choi Jae-yeon replied, "I told you not to apologize. Aside from waiting, I haven't done anything well. I haven’t shown anything. There’s nothing I can do, right?" Eventually overwhelmed by emotions, tears came, and he left the room, while Bae Ju-hee stated in an interview, "I’m so sorry. I really can’t repay the courage you showed me."
Meanwhile, when Lee Sang-gyeong was asked if Seo Jin-joo chose Bae Ju-hee to organize her feelings, he said, "That's not a method of protest. I simply wanted to hear compliments that come naturally, like 'You are cool.' It doesn't seem like just getting to know someone is the way to date. The compliments I thought of, Bae Ju-hee does very well. She speaks so clearly, and it keeps coming to my mind."
Seo Jin-joo remarked, "It’s come to an end," and while feeling bittersweet, expressed lingering feelings to Kim Je-na, "No. 24 (Lee Sang-gyeong) was also a decent person. No. 3 (Hwang Jae-geun) made me feel the same way as my ex-boyfriend, and No. 24 felt like a husband."
Just then, Bae Ju-hee appeared, and Seo Jin-joo told Kim Je-na, "That person (Bae Ju-hee) didn’t choose me because they liked me but did so out of obligation to me," contradicting what Lee Sang-gyeong had said just 10 minutes prior.
He continued, "They said they voted because it was too hard for their heart. It feels like I haven’t been giving enough confidence," and Bae Ju-hee, who was confused by the misunderstandings piling up, could not hide her bewilderment. MC Kahi noted, "Another misunderstanding has completely arisen," and Mi-joo added, "Ju-hee is getting more hurt and becoming more confused." Ultimately, Bae Ju-hee burst into tears, eliciting sympathy from the MCs.
