Kwon Ye-chan and Choi Jung-yoon have emerged as the ultimate favorites, sweeping the first impression votes from the opposite sex.
On the June 25 broadcast of SBS's 'Match to Marry: With Parents Season 2' (hereinafter 'Match to Marry: With Parents 2'), 10 single men and women had their highly anticipated first meeting.
During the episode, the female participants made their first impression choices. Kwon Ye-chan, who was already crowned the "one pick" by multiple mothers, received votes from two women, Kim Da-hye and Choi Jung-yoon. Meanwhile, Kang Shin-woo unfortunately received zero votes.
Kwon Ye-chan couldn't hide his joy at being chosen by two women, while Kang Shin-woo's mother couldn't hide her disappointment as she watched the results unfold.
Kang Shin-woo's mother admitted, "I feel like I'm going to cry," but Kang Shin-woo quickly comforted her, saying, "First impressions don't mean anything." Still, his mother couldn't shake off her sadness, expressing, "I'm a bit upset. I feel like we shouldn't have come on the show." Kang Shin-woo, however, won viewers over with his positive attitude, adding, "I actually feel more comfortable starting from zero."
Before heading to their lodgings, it was the male participants' turn to make their first impression choices.
With the tables turned, the female participants couldn't hide their anxiety. Fortunately, Ahn Do-yoon, who had previously chosen Lee In-gwon, was also chosen by him, resulting in a mutual match. Similarly, Moon Sung-mo chose Lee Kang-hyun, who had also chosen him.
However, Yang Ha-yoon, who had chosen Kim Dong-young, did not receive a single vote, leaving her to move to the lodgings alone.
Meanwhile, Kim Da-hye, who had chosen Kwon Ye-chan alongside Choi Jung-yoon, drew attention when she was chosen by Kang Shin-woo, the "zero-vote man." Kim Da-hye, who had previously agonized over her choice between Kwon Ye-chan and Kang Shin-woo, felt relieved by his selection.
Kim Dong-young, who did not choose Yang Ha-yoon (despite her choosing him), went for Choi Jung-yoon instead. However, Kwon Ye-chan also chose Choi Jung-yoon, making her the female participant with the most votes. Reacting to her popularity, Choi Jung-yoon laughed and said, "I thought maybe my elegant look worked in my favor."
Following the first impression selections, the participants began approaching each other in different ways. Kang Shin-woo stayed close only to Kim Da-hye, his choice, while Lee Kang-hyun actively flirted with Moon Sung-mo. She complimented his looks, saying he resembled Hyun Bin, and even prepared a band-aid for his wound.
Additionally, Kim Dong-young, who had bypassed Yang Ha-yoon during the voting, drew attention by constantly showing concern for her during dinner prep. Watching this, MC Seo Jang-hoon jokingly pointed out, "If you were going to do that, you should have just chosen her earlier," bringing laughter to the studio.
Meanwhile, the episode ended with a teaser for the first day's popularity vote and the highly anticipated self-introductions, raising curiosity about how the dynamics will shift next.
