Actor Hwang Jung-eum expressed his special affection and gratitude for the successful MC declaration ceremony and the season 2 was confirmed.

Hwang Jung-eum was praised by viewers for her positive energy and friendly hosting of the SBS Plus and E-Channel co-produced entertainment show 「'Solo Rae', which premiered on October 29. In particular, Hwang Jung-eum's 'collection of famous words' became a hot topic with great attention and love, with more than 5.04 million views of YouTube shorts (28.2 million in total) and Instagram Reels (22.45 million in total).

On the irreplaceable popularity of 'Soloist', which returns to season 2 in February next year thanks to the enthusiastic support, Hwang Jung-eum said, `It's my first program to be an MC, and I'm so grateful that it will be produced until season 2 because the response is good. "It's all thanks to the viewers. We'll do our best to show you a better performance as an MC in Season 2 than in Season 1. I'll show you my honest self" expressed his determination.



Hwang Jung-eum then said "I think the viewers liked the new appearance of the cast members that have not been seen before. Many people sympathized with me because I was a soloist and showed them happy and joyful, or anxious and lonely, and I also supported them by watching their daily lives."

Of course, Hwang Jung-eum, who was worried about appearing in 'Because I'm Solo', said, `I was worried because it was a field I hadn't tried before, but I thought it would be okay if Shin Dong-yup did it together. In fact, when I filmed it, he expressed his trust in Shin Dong-yeop, saying, "'As expected, Dong-yeop!'" and "Dong-yeop has leadership and charisma that leads everyone." Thanks to you, (the studio) becomes a more pleasant atmosphere. You're amazing. I'm not good enough, but I'll do my best," he said with a humble determination.



2MC Shin Dong-yeop and Hwang Jung-eum, as well as their perfect chemistry with 'Solo Sisters', drew attention, and Hwang Jung-eum said "Since we have a lot of sympathy and support for each other, we naturally opened up our hearts and became close quickly."I hope that not only the well-being and happiness of my family, but also the new relationships that I met while I was solo, I hope that 2025 will be a happy year" expressed his heart.

Finally, the production of Season 2 is thanks to the viewers who have shown a lot of love and interest. Thank you again, and I'll be back with Season 2 soon, so please wait a little bit. I hope you have a happy and warm end of the year, whether you are together or solo."



Hwang Jung-eum married Lee Young-don, a former professional golfer, in February 2016 and held her son in her arms in July of the following year, but she faced a crisis of collapse in 2020, four years after marriage. At that time, he even submitted an application for divorce settlement and went through the actual divorce process. However, in this process, they understood each other's positions and decided to reunite. At the same time, he received the double celebration of his second pregnancy, and his second son was born in April 2022 and became a harmonious family of four.

However, when Hwang Jung-eum posted a post revealing Lee Young-don's private life in February, the discord between the two came to the surface, and they were eventually disbanded after eight years of marriage. In the process, Hwang Jung-eum mistook and shot a person who was not related to Lee Young-don as a sanggan girl, and was sued by A.

With the two currently filing for divorce, Hwang Jung-eum admitted to dating Kim Jong-kyu, a basketball player of the Korean professional basketball team Wonju DB Purmi, and broke up two weeks after the admission.

SBS Plus and E-Channel co-produced entertainment show `Solo Rae', which is exploding viewership and buzz every week with Hwang Jung-eum's cool talking and positive energy, will air the 8th episode at 8:40 p.m. on the 17th, and will return to season 2 in February next year after a time to reorganize.

Hereinafter Hwang Jeong-eum's question and answer.

Q: Please tell us how you feel about being the MC of your first entertainment show in 23 years since your debut.

-I was so worried at first. Will I be able to do it? I was worried because it was a field I hadn't tried before, but I heard that (Shin) Dong-yeop was doing it, so I decided to try it. I thought it would be okay to do it with you. As I was filming, I was able to do it comfortably thanks to not only Shin Dong-yup but also the cast members who worked with me, and although there are still many things that are lacking, I will continue to work hard.

Q: When you were offered a chance to appear on "'Because I'm Solo', you said you decided to appear because of Shin Dong-yeop. How was your chemistry?

-I thought, 'What's the point of saying? As expected, Dongyupshin!'. I had a heart to trust and go. I've appeared as a guest in a program you're doing, but it's the first time we've been together for such a long time, and you have leadership and charisma that lead everyone flexibly. I think it's so amazing that it's natural to have a more pleasant atmosphere because of you.

Q: The more you do it in the `Solo Representative', the faster you get to know the 'Solo Representative'. You can feel the chemistry on the screen. Is there a special secret?

-Company dinner? We talked more during the company dinner. I can't drink very well, but it's fun to be together. Since I have a consensus and support each other, I naturally opened my heart quickly.

Q: The straightforward way of speaking in 'Because I'm Solo' has been a hot topic for days, is there any pressure to make an outspoken statement?

-I don't feel pressured, but rather than thinking about and hesitating about things that I sympathize with, I thought it would be a situation where everyone can relax and talk comfortably by telling my honest story. The cast members are courageous and show us things that we haven't shown before. I wanted to talk more comfortably, so I talked more honestly as if I were talking to a friend.

Q: What do you think is the secret of 's soloist's unrivaled performance in terms of ratings as well as the buzzword of each episode from the first episode?

-I think it's because of the new sides of the cast that you haven't seen before. I think many people sympathized with me because I'm a solo artist and I'm happy and happy, anxious and lonely. I also sympathized a lot and gained a lot of support from their daily lives.

Q: Thanks to its popularity, 'Because I'm Solo' has confirmed the production of Season 2. What are your thoughts and resolutions?

-It's all thanks to the viewers. Thank you very much. It was my first program to be an MC, but I'm so thankful that it's going to be produced until season 2 because the response is good. In season 2, I hope I can show you a better MC than in season 1. I'll show you my honest self. (laughs)

Q: We're wrapping up this year with 'Because I'm single'. Do you have any new resolutions or wishes for next year.

-Let's be happy! I always thought about living hard for the well-being and happiness of my family. Also, I hope you have a happy 2025 year for the new relationships you met while doing 'I'm a solo artist'.

Q: I made a successful MC debut through 'Soloza'. Therefore, I think there will be a lot of requests for other entertainment programs, do you have any plans to expand your activities as an MC in the future?

-There was an offer to cast, but nothing has been confirmed. First of all, I want to focus on 'because I'm solo'. I think it's not enough to try other things as an MC yet, and variety shows are difficult. I'll think about it if I get another good opportunity like 'cause I'm single' (laughs)

Q: Please say a word of thanks to the viewers who gave us so much love for being single.

-I think it was because of the viewers who showed a lot of love and interest in the program that we were able to produce Season 2. Thank you for watching. I'm a soloist, so I'll be back soon with season 2. Please wait a little bit. Always take care of your health and spend the upcoming end of the year, even if you're with someone, even if you're solo, happy and warm.
