They‘re so honest that you’ll wonder, ‘Is this okay?’.

The ‘sisters’ who usually show their ‘raw’ emotions have gathered in one place. Hwang Jung-eum, Jang Seo-hee, Ye Ji-won, Lee Min-young, Park Eun-hye, Lee Soo-kyung, etc. are ‘free spirits’ who don‘t get ‘touched’ by anyone.

They revealed their true selves that they’ve never shown anywhere before through the SBS Plus·E Channel entertainment program ‘Because I‘m Solo’, which returned with a new season on the night of the 4th.

‘Because I’m Solo’ is an observational reality program that looks into the honest daily lives of singles who are lonely because they‘re single, but happy because they’re single.

Last year, Myung Se-bin, Yoon Se-ah, and Oh Jung-yeon appeared and created a buzz, and this time, new members have joined to tell honest stories. Hwang Jung-eum, who served as MC with Shin Dong-yup as the ‘Madam’, will reveal her daily life with her two sons this time.

The new members attended the production presentation held online before the first broadcast and unanimously said, “We regret it”. It‘s not that they regret appearing on the program, but rather, it’s a kind of ‘Hyun-ta’ (time to realize reality) that came late, thinking, “Did I give up everything?”.

Ye Ji-won, who is nicknamed the 4-dimensional, sighed deeply after revealing her daily life.

She said, “Watching the previous season, everyone was so comfortable that I thought, ‘Can I be this honest?’. They were like older sisters who had been watching their bare faces for a long time. I tried to show myself as I am, but when I thought about it, I was worried and regretted it because I let myself go too much.”

Lee Soo-kyung, who has a quirky charm that is no less than Ye Ji-won, also said, “I’m a little worried because you’re so honest. My mom would be worried.” Lee Soo-kyung, who usually likes to drink a lot, caught attention by revealing her realistic daily life, such as vomiting from drinking too much and suffering from a hangover the next day.

On this day, Myung Se-bin said, “After the previous season aired, I received a lot of greetings from people around me. They said it was nice to see so many unexpected sides of me. I’m so happy that they thought of me so comfortably.”

Jang Seo-hee, who joined as a new member, said, “I did a variety show with Kim Sook before, and she said, ‘Do more variety shows.’ She must have only seen me as a character in a drama. I thought it would be good to see a different side of me, so I mustered up the courage. I really liked how she spoke her mind without holding back.”
