U-KISS' Eli Announces Remarriage Five Years After Divorce From Ji Yeon-soo, Who Is 11 Years Older

U-KISS member Eli has announced his remarriage, sharing the news five years after his divorce from Ji Yeon-soo, a former racing model who is 11 years older than him.

On the 11th, Eli posted wedding photos on his social media account and told fans that he was making a new start. The announcement marked a personal turning point for the singer, who first became known to the public as a member of the K-pop group U-KISS.

In his message, Eli looked back on the past five years as one of the most difficult periods of his life, as well as a time filled with major changes. He said there had been many ups and downs, painful lessons to learn, and moments that forced him to grow. He also described that period as one that changed the way he looked at life.

Eli then explained what his new wife has meant to him. He said that, through that process, he was blessed to meet a wonderful woman who brought understanding, happiness, and peace into his life. According to Eli, her patience and support helped him get through his hardest moments, while also making the good moments feel even more meaningful.

He continued by saying that he was happy to share the news that he had met the person with whom he would spend the rest of his life. Eli said he felt deeply blessed to be starting a new chapter together and that he was very much looking forward to the future that would unfold for them.

Eli also expressed sincere gratitude to everyone who had supported him over the years. He said the kindness he received through U-KISS activities, whether from friends, through prayers, or through a single warm word of encouragement, had given him more strength than people might realize.

In particular, Eli said he would not be who he is today without the people who stayed by his side during difficult times. He thanked them deeply for all the love, support, and encouragement they had sent him.

Eli debuted in 2008 as a member of U-KISS. In 2014, he married Ji Yeon-soo, a former racing model 11 years his senior, and the two had one son together. They divorced in 2020.

After the divorce, Eli and Ji Yeon-soo drew attention in 2022 when they appeared on TV Chosun's entertainment program 'We Got Divorced 2.'

Eli left U-KISS in 2019 after his contract with his agency expired, but he rejoined the team in 2023.
