Korean Contestant Eliminated from Paradise Island: What Happened?
Hooyeon was one of two players who had to stop at the final stage of Paradise Island. The 24-year-old girl’s departure was regrettable.
 |
| Episode 14 of Paradise Island aired on the evening of October 19th started off tensely when the boys and girls were forced to vote for who would leave. Yuna Vu and Hooyeon were the two female players who fell into the danger zone. The male players found it difficult to make a decision to choose one of the two girls to stay on the show. |
 |
| Wukong wanted to keep Hooyeon because he thought she had “developed and become the best version”: “For me, she is one of the people who has changed the most among us and the whole journey. I think she fought her best.” Meanwhile, Michael Truong wanted to eliminate Hooyeon to keep Yuna Vu. This angered Wukong and other male players because they thought he considered Yuna just a “backup plan”. |
 |
| As a result, Hooyeon was the female player eliminated in episode 14. At the moment of saying goodbye to the shared house, all members were emotional because in the short time living together, they had experienced many beautiful memories. “It seems like I have matured. I have learned many things and felt very happy. So I have no regrets about anything. I don’t want to say goodbye to anyone, because I won’t be able to see them often. Everyone lives very far away from each other, so I don’t think we can see each other often,” Hooyeon shared. |
|
| The fact that Hooyeon had to stop when the show was coming to its final stage made the audience regretful. As one of the players who appeared from the first episode, Hooyeon left a good impression with her lovely appearance, easy to create sympathy, shy personality and especially smiling a lot. Hooyeon’s smile is commented to be radiant, a “weapon” that helps her attract the attention of the person opposite. |
 |
| Lee Hooyeon is 24 years old and currently a student, with the dream of becoming an announcer. “Every time I do ballet and look at myself in the mirror, my body and soul become more flexible and agile. Many people say I am very naive, but I find myself as attractive as a blank sheet of paper. I hope to meet someone who can see that attraction,” the Korean beauty revealed her wish when participating in Paradise Island. |
 |
| After just a few days in the shared house, Hooyeon’s gentle and cute personality quickly attracted the attention of the male players. Michael Truong and Minuk had a crush on her at the same time, but Minuk tried his best to win the challenge to win the right to date the Korean girl. “In a group, I’m not the type to talk too much. I usually stay alone. I like men who take the initiative to approach me,” Hooyeon said. |
 |
| Commenting on Hooyeon, Wukong said: “She is very kind, understanding and a lovable person.” The male DJ revealed that she radiates warm energy, is always the first one to arrive every morning and brings joy and happiness to the members. |
 |
| In episode 13, Hooyeon had a date with DJ Wukong based on the previous matchmaking results. The two practiced yoga and boxing together happily. However, Wukong was still a bit shy and actively kept his distance from Hooyeon. The Singaporean DJ said he was very happy to date Hooyeon, but his feelings for Quyen Qui were stronger. Hooyeon listened attentively and thanked Wukong for his sincere sharing. |
