Actress Jo Yoon-hee, a single mother, is set to join "Solo Because 2." The news has drawn attention as her ex-husband, actor Lee Dong-gun, is currently appearing on the divorce-themed reality show "Divorce Camp."
On the 9th, SBS Plus and E Channel announced that their new variety show "Solo Because" will return as Season 2, premiering next month on the 7th with MC Shin Dong-yeop and Jo Yoon-hee.
"Solo Because" is a reality observation program that captures the candid daily lives of attractive singles who are "living authentically in their own way." It first aired as an eight-episode special in October 2024, led by MCs Shin Dong-yeop and Hwang Jung-eum, before being scheduled as a regular season in 2025. The series concluded last month in May amid significant buzz.
In the new season, Jo Yoon-hee joins long-time MC Shin Dong-yeop. Jo married actor Lee Dong-gun in 2017 but filed for consensual divorce in 2020. She is currently raising their daughter, Roa, on her own.
Jo's recent appearance decision has drawn attention as it comes amid Lee Dong-gun's active participation in a divorce-related program.
Since last August, Lee Dong-gun has been appearing on JTBC's "Divorce Camp" as a family investigator representing the husband's side. He has been offering sincere advice to couples based on his own experiences with marriage and divorce.
Previously, Jo Yoon-hee appeared on JTBC's "Brave Solo Parenting – I Raise My Child" in 2021 and TV Chosun's "Now I'm Alone" in 2024, among others, sharing her life as a single mother after divorce.
She is reportedly joining the program as an MC and a new "solo older sister." Attention is now focused on what kind of image Jo Yoon-hee, who is currently raising her nine-year-old daughter alone, will present.
