Single mother and actress Jo Yoon-hee is joining the second season of "Because I'm Single." The news has drawn attention as her ex-husband, actor Lee Dong-gun, is currently appearing on the divorce reality show "My Child's Love Camp."
SBS Plus and E Channel announced on Nov. 9 that "Because I'm Single" will return for its second season on Dec. 7, with Shin Dong-yup and Jo as hosts.
"Because I'm Single" is a reality show that offers an unfiltered look at the daily lives of appealing single people who live life on their own terms. It premiered in October 2024 with an eight-episode first season hosted by Shin Dong-yup and Hwang Jung-eum.
The program became a regular series in 2025 and concluded its latest run in May after attracting considerable attention.
Jo will join veteran host Shin for the new season. She married actor Lee Dong-gun in 2017, but the couple divorced by mutual agreement in 2020. Jo has been raising their daughter, Roa, on her own.
Her appearance has drawn particular interest as Lee has recently been appearing on a television program about divorce.
Since August, Lee has been appearing on JTBC's "My Child's Love Camp" as a counselor representing husbands during the program's investigations into married couples' relationships. Drawing on his own experience of marriage and divorce, he has offered advice to couples.
Jo has previously shared her life as a single mother on television, appearing on JTBC's "Brave Solo Parenting: I Raise My Child" in 2021 and TV Chosun's "Now I'm Alone" in 2024.
She is expected to take on the dual role of host and a new member of the show's group of single women. Viewers are curious to see what Jo, who is raising her 9-year-old daughter on her own, will share about her life.
