Former U-KISS member Eli just announced he's getting remarried, and everyone has been waiting to see how his ex-wife Ji Yeonsoo would respond as his past comments where he said he 'doesn't think he can remarry' are being brought back into the spotlight.
According to a recent report by OSEN on the past 11th, Eli announced his remarriage by revealing wedding photos with his fiancée on his social media. He stated, "The past six years have been the most difficult yet transformative time of my life," and added:
"During that journey, I met a wonderful woman who brought me understanding, happiness, and peace. I have found someone to spend the rest of my life with."
The reason why his remarriage is getting so much attention is because Eli was pretty negative about it when he and Ji Yeonsoo reunited on TV Chosun's 'We Got Divorced 2.' At the time, when Ji Yeonsoo asked if he ever thought about remarrying, he said, "Of course I've thought about it," but added:
"We met, got married, had a child, and ended up here. If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I could."
Furthermore, he even told his friends later on, "We can't get back together. I don't love her as a woman."
Now, four years later after the show ended, Eli has made the choice to move on with a new partner.
On the 22nd, Ji Yeonsoo shared her thoughts on her Youtube channel, stating, "I sincerely congratulate him. I really do. Congratulations," and added, "But honestly, does my opinion even matter?"
It turns out that she actually knew about Eli's upcoming wedding beforehand. She shared, "I knew he was getting married. I just didn't know when exactly." Her main worry wasn't about the marriage itself, but how it might affect her son. She admitted:
"My biggest concern was Minsoo has to go to school tomorrow. I was worried that other parents might know who Minsoo's dad is, and that Minsoo might hear something and get hurt."
She also shared her thoughts about Eli changing his mind about staying single, saying, "It seems like he once said he wouldn't remarry. But he's still in his 30s. He's at an age where he can remarry, have children, and live his life." She added, "I've already found my happiness first. Honestly, I really enjoy living with Minsoo, just the two of us. I think he is finding his happiness a bit later than me."
Ji Yeonsoo also mentioned that their son, Minsoo, is fully aware of Eli's remarriage. She shared, "Minsoo knows too. We congratulated him. I mean, were we supposed to not congratulate him?" She continued, "Now that the decision is made, I hope he lives well and is happy."
In particular, Ji Yeonsoo emphasized that she is keeping her focus entirely on being a mom, saying:
"My number one priority is always Minsoo. Anything not related to Minsoo is not a big deal. Even if the universe exploded, Minsoo falling down would be a bigger issue for me."
To recap their history, Ji Yeonsoo and Eli married in 2014 and had their son, Minsoo, before divorcing in 2020. They later appeared together on 'We Got Divorced 2,' which sparked a lot of rumors about them getting back together, but they ultimately chose to live their separate lives while co-parenting.
