Actor Clara is set to join the cast of "Solo Because 2."

According to Star Today, the production team behind the new SBS Plus and E Channel variety show announced Thursday that Clara, widely known as the original "body queen" and for a viral leggings ceremonial pitch, has confirmed her appearance on "Solo Because 2."

Clara made her debut in the 2006 KBS 2TV drama series "Invisible Man Choi Jang-su" and has since maintained an active career both in South Korea and abroad. In 2019, she married a Korean American entrepreneur two years her senior, but the couple divorced last year after six years of marriage.

Returning to Korean variety television for the first time in about 10 years, Clara is expected to share an unfiltered look at her solo life in China, her workaholic daily routine and the candid stories behind her glamorous public image.

"Clara has carved out her own path in China without fear of new challenges, and 'Solo Because 2' will be the place where her untold stories finally come to light," the production team said. "We hope viewers look forward to seeing what kind of everyday life Clara will show us as she makes her return to Korean variety after about 10 years."

"Solo Because" is an observational reality program that follows the honest daily lives of singles who find both loneliness and joy in being on their own. Hosts Shin Dong-yeop and Jo Yun-hee will lead the show, which premieres Dec. 7.
