Eun Ji-won Announces Upcoming Marriage with Longtime Stylist

Eun Ji-won (은지원), the renowned singer and member of the iconic group Sechs Kies (젝스키스), is set to embark on a new chapter in his life as he prepares to marry his longtime stylist. Recent reports confirm that he has completed a wedding photoshoot with his fiancée, who is a non-celebrity and nine years younger than him. The couple plans to hold a private ceremony later this year, inviting only close family and friends.

The stylist, known for her warm and calm demeanor, has been a trusted companion to Eun Ji-won for many years, and their relationship has reportedly blossomed into love based on deep mutual trust. Eun Ji-won has introduced her to his close friends, who are already aware of their relationship. However, he has been careful to keep the wedding preparations discreet, ensuring that the public's interest does not overwhelm his fiancée.

Having previously experienced divorce, Eun Ji-won is approaching this marriage with caution. He was married in 2010 but amicably separated after about two years, stating in past interviews that they ended their relationship on good terms without any negative feelings. Notably, they did not file for legal divorce at that time.

Following the initial report of his marriage, his agency, YG Entertainment, confirmed on June 12 that Eun Ji-won has indeed taken wedding photos and plans to have a quiet ceremony with close acquaintances this year, asking fans to watch over them with warm regards.

Eun Ji-won has expressed his desire to remarry in various broadcasts. On MBN's 'Dolsing Singles 4' (돌싱글즈4), he stated, "I am not against marriage. I don’t want to live alone for the rest of my life," and shared on YouTube that his thoughts on marriage have deepened as he has grown older and after losing his father. His evolving views on marriage have also been a topic of discussion on KBS2's 'Salim Nam 2' (살림남2) during conversations with fellow Sechs Kies members.

As the news of his upcoming marriage confirms previous speculations, fans and colleagues have been showering him with congratulations. Eun Ji-won plans to continue his active career in the entertainment industry even after the wedding. Born in 1978, he debuted in 1997 with Sechs Kies, leaving behind numerous hits and establishing himself as a leading figure in the K-pop scene. He later transitioned to a successful solo career and has been a beloved figure in various variety shows, known for his engaging characters.
