On the July 23 broadcast of the SBS program "Match To Marry: With Parents 2" (hereinafter "Match To Marry 2"), Kwon Ye-chan's mother had a private conversation with Kim Da-hye.

During the broadcast, the mothers played a game with private conversation passes on the line. Kwon Ye-chan's mother, who placed first among the male contestants' mothers, chose Kim Da-hye as her conversation partner.

Kwon Ye-chan's mother asked Kim Da-hye if she was ready for marriage. In response, Kim Da-hye answered honestly, "Honestly, I have seen many people around me get married quickly once their hearts align. Ultimately, I think feelings, chemistry, and marriage happen naturally when they are meant to be."

Hearing this, Kwon Ye-chan's mother said, "Among the three people Ye-chan is interested in, Da-hye is one of them," surprising Kim Da-hye, who had no idea. Kwon Ye-chan's mother expressed her affection for Kim Da-hye, sharing that she felt similarly to her son.

Kwon Ye-chan's mother then added, "However, I heard something. I heard that certain people are basically going all-in," revealing that she had heard rumors of Kim Da-hye already choosing a partner and pursuing him directly.

In response, Kim Da-hye said, "Hearing this now, everything about the situation makes sense. I can see how it might have looked that way to others," and added, "It is not that I have no feelings for him (Kang Shin-woo), but I am not really going all-in. There are two people I have feelings for, and one of them is Ye-chan. I want to talk more."

Kim Da-hye also stated, "I didn't come here to concede anything. I came out to meet a truly good person," revealing that she is being careful in order to find her real marriage partner.
