Yoo Hye Won, an influencer previously linked to Seungri, a former member of Big Bang, and rumored to be dating basketball player Heo Ung, has become the most popular contestant on Mnet's 'Couple Palace 2.' During the February 12 episode, Yoo Hye Won appeared as "Cat-like," catching the audience's attention with her candid remarks. 

She shared details about her financial situation, revealing that she earns an annual salary of 15 million KRW (approximately $103,150) and has assets totaling 200 million KRW (approximately $138,800). She also spoke about her responsibilities as the eldest daughter in her family, explaining that she had worked hard since she was 23 to support her mother after saving her first million KRW (about $6,880). She admitted to feeling the pressure of being the primary breadwinner and reflected on her desire for a stable and early marriage to escape the stresses of family life.

Although Yoo initially didn’t garner much attention due to her financial disclosure, she quickly rose to the top of the popularity rankings once her face was revealed, securing the number one spot in the viewer vote. Her honesty and openness about her personal life resonated with viewers, solidifying her place as the standout contestant.

In addition to her popularity, some of her fellow contestants brought up her past relationships, specifically mentioning Seungri and Heo Ung. One contestant even referenced her as "OO’s ex-girlfriend," causing a stir. In response, Yoo Hye Won cautiously addressed the topic during a production team interview, revealing her uncertainty about participating in the show due to her past. Her appearance on 'Couple Palace 2' has generated much buzz, making her one of the most talked-about figures on the show.
