Mnet‘s couple matching survival show ‘Couple Palace 2’ is focusing on Yoo Hye-won as the initial topic.

In the second episode of ‘Couple Palace 2’ that aired on the 12th, a large-scale matching show ‘Speed Train’ was held where the appearances, specifications, and marriage conditions of single men and women were revealed. By pressing the ‘Pick’ button for the person you like, from season 2, the cast appeared with keywords such as ‘188cm doormat’, ‘Elite overseas’.

The keyword for this train was the professional ‘Doctor’. Among the three male doctors on the train, male number 7, an oral surgeon, monopolized popularity with his marriage condition of “I want to sell fruit in my 60s” and his innocent appearance as a hobby who usually enjoys pumps. Man number 7 went on a one-on-one date with woman number 18, a pharmacist whom he had picked as his first impression, and showed continued interest in woman number 18’s marriage condition of “I want her to pee while sitting down.” The two people with great tastes and hobbies eventually became a two-way match.

There were also many difficult marriage conditions that stood out. In particular, man number 16, who put forth the marriage condition of “spend 8 months out of the year alone,” turned out to be a sailor, but he received 0 votes, which was disappointing. The top 3 men who received the most votes from the opposite sex were also revealed. Among the top 3, male American lawyer number 9, male oral surgeon number 7 with pure beauty, and male dermatologist number 24 who was a national golf player, made it to the top 3, male American lawyer number 9 used his special chance to go on a 1:1 date with female global corporate interpreter number 25 who looks like Eun Ye-sol from Season 1, and reaffirmed his taste for Sonamu.

The long-awaited female train has also begun. The studio was buzzing with anticipation as various keywords were revealed, from ‘cat ideal’ to ‘prestigious university queen bee’ to ‘free pass to meeting the parents’. Among them, the first train to appear was the ‘businessman’. Female number 10, who ranked first in the first impression vote, was revealed to be the CEO of a fashion brand with an annual salary of approximately 500 million won. In particular, the marriage condition of “short men are preferred” also showed off its unprecedented popularity with an increasing number of picks. In the midst of this, man number 4, who had declared to go straight for woman number 10, gave up on choosing her because of the marriage conditions, making people curious about their future relationship.


The woman‘s ‘cat-like’ was by far the most popular keyword, even acknowledged by couple managers. When the hot topic, beauty model Yoo Hye-won, appeared on the cat-like train, men showed hot interest with comments such as “another level visuals”, and the pick button also soared to a whopping 9 votes. Yoo Hye-won, who was not chosen by anyone in the first round, said, “I’m the cautious type when meeting someone”, and after careful consideration chose man number 3, an employee of a large Japanese company, showing a rosy atmosphere.

The ‘beauty pageant graduate’ keyword also stole the hearts of men to the point of boasting an all-time pick button speed. Especially in Season 1, female number 5 Kim Ye-rin, who had been scarred by people criticizing her appearance, returned after losing a whopping 20 kg and caused shivers. Kim Ye-rin chose male number 25, an office worker at a public trade company, as her one-pick and confidently walked out on a 1:1 date, to which Mi-ju showed her over-immersion, saying, “I think I‘m going to cry.” However, the emotion was short-lived, as male number 25’s hidden condition was revealed to be, “A voluptuous body,” and Kim Ye-rin, who had a marriage condition of, “Love me even if my appearance changes,” ultimately gave up on making the choice.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, Chae Eun-jung of ‘1st generation girl group’ Cleo made a full-fledged proposal, saying, “I want to have a family.” Cha Eun-jung, who had to endure a series of humiliations without receiving any attention in the first round, was shown choosing the man of her destiny who said, “I’ve been waiting for you” at the end of the broadcast.
