Jo Yoon-hee to host and participate in Because I'm Single 2

Actress Jo Yoon-hee will join Shin Dong-yup as an MC for the upcoming season of Because I'm Single 2, which is scheduled to premiere on December 7. Jo will also appear as a participant to share her life as a single mother raising her daughter, Roa, following her 2020 divorce.

Actress Jo Yoon-hee has been selected as a new MC for 'Because I'm Single 2'. While leading the program as a host, she will also appear as a participant to candidly reveal her daily life as a single mother raising her daughter, Roa, and the changes in her life following her divorce.

The SBS Plus and E Channel entertainment program 'Because I'm Single 2', which is scheduled to premiere on December 7, observes the daily lives of singles who manage their lives in various ways. It captures diverse aspects of life, from the freedom and joy available to those who are alone to the realistic concerns encountered in daily life.

'Because I Am Single' first met viewers in an 8-episode format on October 8, 2024, and returned for a regular season the following March, which concluded in May. Resuming as Season 2 after approximately one year and six months due to viewer interest, the program signals new changes as Shin Dong-yup and Jo Yoon-hee pair up as MCs.

Shin Dong-yup, who handled hosting in the previous season, anchored the program by unfolding the daily lives of participants with his characteristic witty remarks and comfortable empathy. Depending on the situation, he served to refresh the atmosphere with pleasant jokes or draw out the inner thoughts that participants had not yet voiced through sharp questioning. In Season 2, Shin Dong-yup's experienced hosting is expected to lead various stories of singles.

The presence of the newly joined Jo Yoon-hee is also drawing attention. As an MC, Jo Yoon-hee will not stop at merely sharing the stories of the participants but will also appear as a participant revealing her own daily life. In particular, as a single mother raising her daughter Roa alone, she is expected to share with viewers her realistic life balancing childcare and daily routines, as well as the emotions and lifestyle changes felt while living alone.

A key point of interest is how much Jo Yoon-hee, who is familiar to the public as an actress, will reveal her private daily life in front of the camera. Unlike the image she showed through characters in works, her daily life living as a mother and as an individual woman may form a different sense of empathy. In particular, the process of balancing work and life while raising a child is expected to resonate as a realistic story not only for single mother viewers but also for viewers experiencing various forms of life.

The production team stated, "Thanks to the passionate support of viewers, we are presenting a new season after one and a half years," adding, "In this season, we will show various single lives that are lonely because they are single, yet happy because they are single, along with new 'single sisters'."

The team further added, "We will broadly capture not only the daily lives of singles, which may be a familiar routine to some but a fresh discovery to others, but also the freedom and joy that can be enjoyed because one is alone, as well as the concerns and sincere emotions contained within."

Jo Yoon-hee married actor Lee Dong-gun in 2017 and had a daughter, Roa, but divorced in 2020. Since then, she has continued her acting career while raising her daughter alone. Her joining 'Because I'm Single 2' is expected to serve as an opportunity to share with the public Jo Yoon-hee's current life, which she has built as both a mother and an actress since her divorce.
