Hong Jun-pyo is a South Korean politician who ran for president in 2017 and later served as mayor of Daegu, and the number 2 label reflects the ballot position used by his party in national elections. Clips labelled as his number 2 intro circulated on Korean soundboards and short video pages, where short campaign openings are reused outside their original broadcast context. Its continued use comes from that recognisable numbering and formal entrance style, which Korean meme editors apply to everyday arrivals, announcements and parody speeches rather than to election coverage alone.
