Clara to return to domestic variety shows after nine-year hiatus

Actress Clara will appear on the SBS Plus and E Channel reality program 'Because I'm Single 2' starting December 7. This marks her first appearance on a domestic variety show since 2017, following her recent divorce after six years of marriage.

Actress Clara is set to stand before domestic viewers again following her marriage and subsequent divorce. Attention is focused on her return as she has confirmed her appearance on a variety program for the first time in approximately nine years, having previously focused on activities in China and rarely appearing on Korean broadcasts. Her appearance is drawing particular interest as it will be the first time she reveals her daily life through a domestic variety show since returning to single life after ending her marriage.

Clara will appear in 'Because I'm Single 2', a variety program co-produced by SBS Plus and E Channel. This marks her first appearance on a domestic variety program in about nine years since 'Taming the Shrew 2' aired on JTBC2 in 2017. Following that, Clara expanded her stage abroad by appearing in numerous local dramas and films after entering the Chinese market. As it has been difficult to catch updates on her through Korean broadcasts, this appearance is expected to serve as a comeback stage that effectively breaks her long hiatus.

'Because I'm Single' is a reality variety show that observes the daily lives of singles who build their lives in their own ways. It highlights the diverse aspects of single life by candidly showing the realistic concerns, lifestyles, and thoughts on relationships that participants encounter in their daily lives. After debuting as an 8-episode series in October 2024, it was reorganized into a regular season in March of the following year, and Season 1 concluded in May of the same year.

The primary reason Clara's appearance is drawing attention is tied to her personal history. She married a Korean-American entrepreneur two years her senior in 2019, but last year, news was reported of their separation after six years of marriage. Having continued her acting career primarily centered in China rather than domestic activities after her marriage, she is now set to meet viewers with a new image following the change of her divorce.

Above all, interest is gathering regarding how much of Clara's daily life and lifestyle, which had been hidden behind her glamorous image, will be revealed in this program. Unlike her familiar image as an actress, the realistic side revealed in her daily life living alone and her changed attitude toward life through marriage and divorce are also points of interest. However, what specific daily life will be revealed must be confirmed through the broadcast.

Attention is focused on what new side Clara will show in 'Because I'm Single 2' as she returns after a long hiatus from domestic broadcasting and the turning point of the end of her marriage. There is also interest in whether this could serve as a signal for the resumption of her domestic activities beyond a simple variety show appearance.

'Because I'm Single 2' is scheduled to premiere on December 7. Entertainer Shin Dong-yup and actress Jo Yoon-hee will serve as MCs to observe the daily lives of the single participants.
