'Couple Palace 2' where is the love's wand heading?

On March 26, 2025 (Wed), the 8th episode of Mnet's 'Couple Palace 2' (directed by Lee Seon-young CP, Jung Min-seok PD) revealed participants leaving the palace week amidst surprising choices, rushing towards the end of their romantic journey. With a vote ahead where only one person can be chosen for the final proposal, we examined the hot love lines.

■ 'Confused heart' where to? .. Choi Jae-yeon, Bae Joo-hee, Lee Sang-kyung, Seo Jin-joo, Hwang Jae-geun

Currently, the center of attention in the singles zone is the love line surrounding Bae Joo-hee and Seo Jin-joo. Bae Joo-hee, who has received affections from Choi Jae-yeon, Lee Sang-kyung, and Kwon Young-taek, has declared her intention towards Choi Jae-yeon, yet cannot hide her wavering feelings towards Lee Sang-kyung. 'Straightforward man' Choi Jae-yeon also seems somewhat fatigued, leaving the situation unclear. Lee Sang-kyung, popular as a dermatologist, expressed confusion, saying, "I don't even know who is sincere," raising more curiosity about these love lines.

The tension between Bae Joo-hee and Seo Jin-joo is escalating. Currently, Seo Jin-joo is repeatedly contemplating between the stable man Lee Sang-kyung and the thrilling man Hwang Jae-geun. In the 8th episode, she was seen shedding tears while mentioning practical marriage conditions with Hwang Jae-geun. After the tearful date, interest shifts to whether she will pursue Lee Sang-kyung. Furthermore, Hwang Jae-geun, who straightly approached Seo Jin-joo, is also facing uncertainty regarding whether to give up in light of practical barriers.

■ Spicy reversals between couple zone and singles zone, Kim Ha-yeon, Kim Ji-woong, Oh Shinda, Lee Jung-won, Oh Seung-yeon

The romantic developments of Kim Ha-yeon, Kim Ji-woong, Oh Shinda, Lee Jung-won, and Oh Seung-yeon, who are navigating unpredictable complicated relationships between the singles and couple zones, are also worth attention. In the 8th episode, a new romance was unveiled alongside the couple of Lee Jung-won and Oh Shinda, who are heading towards a crisis, offering a significant twist. Especially, as Lee Jung-won and Oh Shinda move from the couple zone to the singles zone, a new phase is anticipated.

Another point of interest has emerged with Oh Shinda, who chose to part ways with Lee Jung-won, potentially becoming a couple with Kim Ji-woong. Attention is focused on whether Kim Ji-woong will indeed come down from the couple zone to the singles zone, and whether his partner Kim Ha-yeon can prevent this. Meanwhile, Lee Jung-won is raising excitement levels with a mutual romance with Oh Seung-yeon. Curiosity increases about whether Oh Seung-yeon, who emerged as the 'final dark horse,' can connect with Lee Jung-won as if by fate.

■ Will they succeed in matching after reappearing? .. Kim Ye-rin, Jang Kyung-seok, Ha Su-jin

Amidst the surprising departures, attention is also on Kim Ye-rin's direction. Kim Ye-rin, a Miss Korea contestant, reappeared in Season 2 after losing 20 kg, garnering heartfelt support from viewers as she crafts an extraordinary narrative. It raises curiosity about whether she can indeed make it to the final proposal this time.

Kim Ye-rin is currently developing a love line with Canadian model Jang Kyung-seok. Jang Kyung-seok has shown interest in Kim Ye-rin since the early stages of speed dates by saying, "I fell for her because of her nice voice," but later showed signs of being swayed by Ha Su-jin, leaving the future of their love line uncertain. It draws attention to how their relationship will conclude.

Meanwhile, in 'Couple Palace 2', besides these love lines, the romance trajectories of pharmacy worker Jo Young-seok and corporate worker Kim Su-min, as well as the couple of fashion brand representative Im Si-yeon and L Corporation employee Kim Hyun-jung, who are cruising smoothly, are also attracting interest. After achieving a milestone of producing 12 couples in Season 1 and proving itself as an unprecedented 'couple hot spot,' attention is focused on what results this season will yield in the remaining two episodes.
