Kim Hyun-joong suggested to Im Si-yeon to leave the show with excessive consideration.

In the episode aired on Mar. 2, Mnet's 'Couple Palace 2' featured the stories of singles ahead of the final proposal partner vote, revealing a date between Kim Hyun-joong and Im Si-yeon.

That day, Kim Hyun-joong and Im Si-yeon went out on a date after finishing a consultation with a wedding planner. Upon arriving at the café, Kim Hyun-joong said, "I'm really excited for this café date, which is my first one. I had so much fun at the couple zone party yesterday, didn't I?"

However, Im Si-yeon recalled, "I wasn't enjoying it. It was so hard. I just met my parents for the first time. I was so nervous that I felt like I was shrinking. I appreciated that you were trying to help me, but you brought up topics I never expected."

The reason was that Kim Hyun-joong's father mentioned the story of Kim Hyun-joong's sister, who passed away in childhood, during the previous day's meeting. Im Si-yeon, who heard such deep stories in a tense setting, was taken aback.

Im Si-yeon expressed, "I was really surprised. I saw you grabbing tightly, and that made me endure it as well. But I really disliked the party."

She continued, "In fact, it wasn't a day I wanted to do those things. I just wanted to be alone, or if not, I wanted to be with someone quietly. My mind seems to have been stuck on yesterday. It feels like I stopped after the meeting. I guess my mental state is breaking. I'm struggling, and I don't know why I feel this way."

After a moment of thought, Kim Hyun-joong said, "You look very tired and are really struggling. If I like her and want to take care of her, I thought that considering the person who is currently struggling should come first."

In particular, he showed excessive consideration, saying, "Honestly, I think it might be okay to leave the show, but what do you think?" This shocked everyone. MC Kahi commented, "If we were to liken it to a relationship, it's like the girlfriend said, 'I’m having a hard time,' but the boyfriend replied, 'Should we break up then?'"

An embarrassed Im Si-yeon replied, "It was hard, but to be honest, I hadn’t thought that far. I was surprised and didn't see it coming, but I do want to be alone."

The two arrived at the accommodation in a cold atmosphere. Without saying a word, they each entered their rooms, and Im Si-yeon, through an interview, said, "Hearing the word 'leaving' felt like everything good rushed back all at once," and tears flowed.

Kim Hyun-joong also stated, "Of course, I want to propose like that, but seeing Im Si-yeon struggle right now is so difficult. I wonder why it has come to this."
