In the midst of Seo Jin-joo crying over Hwang Jae-geun's withdrawal, Bae Joo-hee became the final couple with Lee Sang-gyeong.
The final results of the 10-week journey were revealed in the final episode of Mnet's 'Couple Palace 2', which aired on the 9th.
Earlier, Hwang Jae-geun chose Seo Jin-joo, while Lee Sang-gyeong delivered a twist by choosing Bae Joo-hee instead of Seo Jin-joo.
He continued, "Her hidden condition is to get married in 2025. She is someone without conditions or qualifications. It's very embarrassing in this reality, and there are so many things I can't provide. I thought the person who could support her would be Sang-gyeong. I wonder if I can really be that person. So, I hope I can be confident about that; if I feel I can't take any responsibility, then I think it's right not to proceed."
On the day of the proposal, Hwang Jae-geun, standing in front of Seo Jin-joo, said, "Yesterday you were a black pearl, but today you have become an even more beautiful white pearl. You are truly beautiful. Every time we meet, you always make me smile, and you bring happiness to every moment. I really thank you once again. It has been so joyful."
However, Hwang Jae-geun revealed, "I know that Jin-joo is more sincere about 'Couple Palace' than anyone else, and I thought I needed to make a more careful and responsible choice. I will give up the proposal," shocking everyone.
Hwang Jae-geun, who tried hard to hold back tears, was met with a bright smile from Seo Jin-joo, who said, "I thought you would become my sweet dog, but I will support your choice."
Seo Jin-joo ultimately shed tears. She said, "I was really going to get married. I think I was the person who put in the most sincerity. I thought too heavily about what it means to get married. I might have thought too burdensomely about it. It feels like when you try to grasp something too tightly, you can't hold on to it, so I should have let my heart relax a bit and thought about it more comfortably. I have regrets. I feel like you are the person I wanted to marry the most, but I couldn't.
On the other hand, Hwang Jae-geun said, "It's really over now," and added, "If we met in our early to mid-20s and dated, we wouldn't have gone this far. If I were a man prepared for this, I might have given a sense of certainty, but I could not overcome the realistic aspects."
Meanwhile, the moment of Bae Joo-hee, who drew attention in a love square, was approaching. Bae Joo-hee received choices from three men—Lee Sang-gyeong, Kwon Young-taek, and Choi Jae-yeon—and, showing her remorse toward Choi Jae-yeon, made her final choice by stating, "It's man number 24, Sang-gyeong."
Lee Sang-gyeong, who was chosen, also had a complicated expression. He expressed, "I hope that Jae-yeon's feelings and Joo-hee's feelings won't be hurt," and said, "We really struggled and thought a lot. Nevertheless, we laughed a lot. We had a lot of fun. We were very happy. Are you ready to go laugh together for life?" during his proposal. Then, seeing the ring in his trembling hand, Bae Joo-hee smiled brightly and accepted, and the two became the final couple, receiving many congratulations.
