On the July 2nd broadcast of SBS's Match To Marry: With Parents 2, the mothers of the male participants chose the female contestants they wanted their sons to go on a date with.

During the episode, the mothers made their selections after hearing the introductions of the female contestants. Lee In-kwon's mother and Kang Shin-woo's mother both chose Choi Jung-yoon.

The mothers specifically noted that their favorable impression of Choi Jung-yoon increased because of her own mother, stating, "You can tell what a daughter is like by looking at her mother."

In response, Choi Jung-yoon's mother drew laughter by saying, "Actually, I used some soybean paste and chili paste flirting yesterday."

Meanwhile, Kwon Ye-chan's mother and Kim Dong-young's mother both selected Yang Ha-yoon. Both mothers pointed out that Yang Ha-yoon's professional career played a significant role in boosting their interest.

Additionally, Moon Sung-mo's mother chose Kim Da-hye. After her profession and age were revealed, Moon Sung-mo, who had already developed a liking for Kim Da-hye, expressed his joy at his mother's choice, asking, "Did we have telepathy?"

On the other hand, Lee Kang-hyun and Ahn Do-yoon were not chosen by any of the mothers, creating a bittersweet moment.
