'The Circle' has returned, and treachery has never looked so nice. The captivating Netflix Original where hidden identities and daggers in the back are all part of the fun is finally back for a fourth season.

Netflix has vowed the "spiciest season ever" in the season four promo. That's saying a lot, given some bizarre highs and lows we've seen on 'The Circle' in the past. The new season will have nine new competitors, each vying to best out the other in an ultimate social media game where people may play themselves or catfish as somebody else. Meet Yu Ling Wu, who is competing in season four of the popular game show.

Who is Yu Ling Wu?

Yu Ling Wu, one of the season's standout players, aims to shake up the game with her feisty demeanor. Yu-Ling Wu is a 26-year-old social media celebrity and theater performer from New York City who rose to prominence after appearing as a contestant on Season 4 of 'The Circle.' 

Wu has high expectations from the show because it is her debut and has the potential to help build her career. People who watched Ling were blown away by her personality and knowledge. The young lady also has a YouTube account, though with only 2.67k subscribers.

Yu-Ling Wu was born on January 12, 1996 in New York. Her parents immigrated from China in the 1990s. Yu graduated from Lowell High School in 2010, after which she enrolled in The New School to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She earned a bachelor's degree in drama from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts in addition to her BA from LHS. She was able to secure a 10-month internship at the New Museum of Contemporary Art after graduating. However, like any other recent graduate, she struggled to find work and decided to continue her Bobarista career by creating and serving handcrafted drinks.

Ling gained a full-time job in January 2019 as a social media coordinator for a startup named The Wing. She worked in a variety of professional roles during her one year and seven months at the organization, before eventually switching over to being a freelance social media and brand marketing consultant in July 2020. Her clientele includes High Line, Lazy Sundaes, and Studs Inc.

Ling is the type of person who appreciates art and enjoys exploring beautiful places. Though she constantly posts her images on social media, we've never seen her lover in any of them. Many believe that the social media celebrity is single, while others disagree.

Season 4 of 'The Circle' is available on Netflix.
