Eun Ji-won Announces Remarriage After 13 Years Post-Divorce
Eun Ji-won, a former member of the popular group Sechs Kies, has announced his remarriage 13 years after his divorce, marking a new chapter in his life. Despite the sudden nature of the announcement, public reaction has largely been one of support, with many expressing that they anticipated this move. His agency, YG Entertainment, confirmed on June 12 that Eun Ji-won recently had a wedding photoshoot and plans to hold a private ceremony later this year with only close family and friends in attendance. Fans have responded positively, with comments like, 'Finally, he’s moving on,' and 'I wish him happiness.'
Eun Ji-won has openly discussed his thoughts on remarriage in various broadcasts. In July of last year, he appeared on Lee Kyung-kyu's YouTube channel, stating, 'I originally didn’t want to get married, but now I feel like I should.' He reflected on how his perspective changed as he aged and after experiencing the loss of his father.
On the reality show 'Dolsing Singles 6,' where he serves as an MC, he shared his candid views on dating someone with children, saying, 'When I was younger, it would have been a concern, but now I see it as a blessing.' He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to build a family without the stress of having children.
In conversations with fellow Sechs Kies members, Eun Ji-won humorously mentioned, 'If I have kids, I might quit everything else. I’m afraid I’ll become too attached.' He also joked about the necessity of remarriage, saying, 'I need to get married; otherwise, if I collapse alone, who will call 119?'
In less than a month after sharing his thoughts, Eun Ji-won’s remarriage news has drawn heartfelt messages from fans, wishing him a happy and warm family life.
Eun Ji-won debuted in 1997 with Sechs Kies, becoming a beloved first-generation idol with numerous hit songs. He married a judo athlete two years his senior in Hawaii in 2010, but they divorced after two years. Following that, he has maintained a successful career in both broadcasting and music, and now embarks on a new journey with his upcoming remarriage.
