U-KISS Eli's ex-wife Ji Yeonsoo got incredibly honest about the realities of single parenting on her Youtube channel. 

In her video that was posted on the 29th, she sat down to talk about what it's really like trying to balance everything on your own. 

While listening to their stories, she opened up about her own situation, revealing exactly how much child support she gets from her ex-husband, Eli (formerly of U-KISS):

"I receive 850,000 KRW (around $550) a month in child support (from Eli).The legal minimum child support amount is 640,000 KRW (around $413)."

 

Ji Yeonsoo pointed out how broken the system is, saying, "The cost of living keeps rising, but the child support standards haven't kept up with reality. It's nowhere near enough." She explained:

"Rather than relying solely on child support, it's more realistic for me to find part-time work."

To make ends meet, she revealed that she's been working part-time as a server at a Seollongtang (Ox bone soup) restaurant, and it's taken such a toll on her body that she's suffering from severe wrist pain.

On top of the physical pain, she explained that simply keeping a job as a single parent is incredibly hard, saying, "But when your child is young, the daycare can suddenly call because they're sick or have a fever, and you have to pick them up immediately. You can't take your child to work with you, so who would hire you easily? That's the reality for single mothers."

For a little bit of context, Ji Yeonsoo married Eli (who is 11 years younger than her) back in 2014. They had their son, Minsoo, in 2016, but ended up getting a divorce in 2020. The two actually appeared together later on TV Chosun 'We Got Divorced 2' to show what their relationship looked like post-divorce.

Meanwhile, Eli recently announced that he is getting remarried to a non-celebrity woman who he has been dating for about three years since December 2022.

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.

According to a recent report by MTN, Eli (35, real name Kim Kyungjae), a former member of U-KISS, has announced that he is getting remarried.

On the 11th, Eli posted wedding photos on his social media along with the caption, "The past six years have been some of the most challenging and transformative years of my life," adding:

"Along the way, I was blessed to have met a wonderful woman who brought understanding, happines, and peace into my life."

He continued, "Her patience and support have helped me navigate some of the hardest times and have made the good moments even more meaningful," and added:

"I'm grateful to share that I have found the person I will be sharing the rest of my life with."

He also wrote, "To everyone who has supported me over the years, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you supported me through UKISS, friendship, prayer, or simple words of encouragement, your kindness has carried me through more than you may ever realize."

Meanwhile, Eli debuted in 2008 as a member of U-KISS. In 2014, he married Ji Yeonsoo, a former racing model who is 11 years older than him. The couple had a son together, but they divorced in 2020. The two later drew significant attention in 2022 by appearing on TV Chosun's 'We Got Divorced 2.'
