'Couple Palace 2' has reached its conclusion with the birth of 9 final couples.
The highly anticipated final proposal took place in the last episode of Mnet 'Couple Palace 2,' directed by Lee Sun-young and Jung Min-seok, which aired on the 9th. The final stories of single men and women at a crossroads were depicted, with Kim Ji-woong and Kim Ha-yeon, Kim Hyun-joong and Lim Si-yeon, Min Dong-seong and Kim Ja-hyun, Song Joon-ho and Yoon Ye-rim, Lee Sang-kyung and Bae Joo-hee, Lee Jung-won, Oh Seung-yeon, Lim Han-sae and Go Yu-na, Jang Kyung-seok and Kim Ye-rin, Jo Young-seok and Kim Soo-min successfully proposing in total 9 couples.
Bae Joo-hee's final choice was Lee Sang-kyung. While shedding tears over her feelings of guilt towards Choi Jae-yeon, who had shown unwavering affection, she ultimately held the hand of Lee Sang-kyung, to whom her heart was drawn. Lee Sang-kyung also laid down the weight of his heart between love and friendship, proposing to Bae Joo-hee with, “Are you ready to laugh together for a lifetime?” Bae Joo-hee responded, “The first time we talked, a conversation that lasted 10 minutes was so funny for a week,” which brought her unparalleled excitement.
The couples Kim Hyun-joong and Lim Si-yeon, and Jo Young-seok and Kim Soo-min, who felt an intense attraction from their first meeting, successfully proposed without any twists. Both couples encountered moments of crisis but succeeded in their couple matching with strong trust and confidence in each other. Kim Soo-min noted, “Such a healthy attraction is truly rare, and it seems I met someone like that through 'Couple Palace.'”
There were also surprising couples. Lee Jung-won, who had maintained a love line with Oh Seung-yeon, ended up proposing to Oh Seung-yeon, while Kim Ji-woong, who was at the center of multiple relationships, matched with Kim Ha-yeon. Kim Ye-rin, who rejoined after losing 20 kg, also successfully matched with Jang Kyung-seok, creating an unprecedented narrative. In contrast, Hwang Jae-geun concluded with a surprising ending, giving up on the final proposal and failing to match with Seo Jin-joo.
As a result, 'Couple Palace 2' has seen a total of 9 couples born. Given the record-setting matching results from the last season, there was considerable interest in the season 2 matching outcomes. Out of 60 single men and women, a total of 18 (9 pairs) succeeded in the final proposals, achieving a 30% matching rate, an increase of 6% compared to season 1, certifying 'Couple Palace' as a 'couple hot spot.'
Meanwhile, 'Couple Palace' is a large-scale couple matching survival program for single men and women seeking the perfect marriage partner, portraying their journey to find a life partner through a hyper-realistic matching system comparable to that of a 'marriage information company.' Since launching in 2024, it has sparked empathy and immersion from viewers for two consecutive seasons, achieving matching success for a total of 9 pairs in season 2 and culminating in a finale.
