The ‘Quotes’ from Mnet‘s ‘Couple Palace 2’ is a hot topic.

‘Couple Palace 2’ is a large-scale couple matching survival show for single men and women looking for the perfect marriage partner. True to its reputation as the ‘Decision Maker’ (marriage information company) of the entertainment world, it garners attention by leaving quotes that penetrate the marriage trend in each episode. The production team has compiled the quotes.


● “Love isn’t everything”

According to the production team, the marriage condition of “A newlywed home worth over 2 billion won” is an honest and straightforward line that was a hot topic even before the show aired. The S company employee who put forth the marriage condition said, “I don‘t think (married life) is ’all about love‘” and “I think you need a certain level of financial power to have a happy married life.” Viewers’ reactions to this are also mixed. While some responded with, “Isn‘t it a concept?” and “It’s too much,” some viewers left comments such as, “It‘s realistic” and “I respect personal opinions.”

● “I don’t like popular men”

We can‘t help but be curious about the other conditions she wants in a marriage partner. Yoo Hye-won, who had already received public attention due to dating rumors with Seungri and Heo Woong, garnered attention by saying, “I don’t like bad guys, popular guys.” In addition, marriage conditions such as “I like short men”, “I hate narrow lips”, and “I like the trendy teddy bear face these days” heated up this season by revealing their own unique external tastes. These honest conditions are another highlight that increases the fun of “Couple Palace 2”.



● “Age may not matter”

In this way, “Couple Palace 2” shows various aspects surrounding marriage through the lives of 60 single men and women. Lim Si-yeon, the CEO of a fashion brand who said she likes short men, is expected to have a love line with Kim Hyun-joong, an office worker at Company L who is close to 180cm tall; Seo Jin-joo, a VIP bank employee who said she dislikes small lips, is expected to have a love line with dermatologist Lee Sang-kyung who has thin lips; and model Yoo Hye-won, who said she dislikes popular men, is expected to have a love line with Hwang Jae-geun, who is highly popular among the female cast. Kim Hyun-joong, who had previously stated that he preferred younger women, also chose Im Si-yeon, who is older, saying, “Age may not be important,” creating a surprising twist that defies any prediction.

The production team said, “The charm of our program is that it naturally allows us to see the thoughts of people these days and the sensibilities of the times through a program with a decision-making concept,” and asked for anticipation for “Couple Palace 2,” which has passed the midpoint, saying, “Please watch the emotional lines and sincere choices of single men and women.”

“Couple Palace 2” airs simultaneously on Mnet and tvN every Wednesday at 10:40 p.m.
