Broadcaster Ji Yeon-soo announces intention to remarry with specific criteria

Broadcaster Ji Yeon-soo revealed her decision to remarry during a video released on her YouTube channel on the 19th. Seeking a stable home for her son Min-su, she specified that a potential partner must be a high school graduate, have completed military service, and abstain from alcohol.

Broadcaster Ji Yeon-soo, who divorced Eli, has made a surprise announcement that she has decided to remarry. After opening up about the conflicts and wounds experienced during her past marriage and raising her son alone, she has begun to dream of forming a new family. She drew significant attention by specifying that her potential remarriage partner must have completed military service, be a high school graduate, abstain from alcohol, and be a good match for her son, Min-su.

A video capturing Ji Yeon-soo's recent life was released on the YouTube channel Ji Yeon-su's Yeonsuropda on the 19th. While discussing her health and daily life, she confessed that her thoughts on remarriage have changed. "I had no intention of remarrying at all. I had no intention of meeting anyone," Ji Yeon-soo stated, adding, "But my mind has changed. I should remarry."

Having previously not even considered meeting someone new, Ji Yeon-soo has now opened the possibility of marriage. However, this decision was not merely to soothe loneliness or for her own happiness. She explained, "I thought it would be okay to marry if it is someone who can build a good family and can get along well with my son, Min-su." This implies that it is important to find someone who can provide a stable home for both her and her son.

Her criteria for an ideal type were also specific. "The basics are a man who has completed military service, is a high school graduate, and does not drink alcohol," Ji Yeon-soo revealed, adding that she wants "someone who does not act recklessly and is prudent toward themselves and their family." This suggests she prioritizes an attitude of building trust in daily life and taking responsibility for the family over flashy qualifications. In particular, as she must consider a future living with her son, the partner's character and attitude toward family appear to be crucial standards.

Ji Yeon-soo's remarks regarding remarriage are garnering even more attention due to the pain she disclosed regarding her past marriage. Appearing on TV CHOSUN's "We Got Divorced 2" in 2022, she looked back on her relationship with Eli and shared the difficult times she faced due to conflicts with her in-laws. During the psychological counseling process at that time, she made the heartbreaking claim, "Those parents always said, 'If only you weren't here, my son could marry a virgin. If only you weren't here, he could live a new life.'"

She continued to express the resentment she felt during her marriage, stating, "Those parents tried to break down what the son chose for the first time in any way possible, and the son did so." On the other hand, Eli showed a different perspective, stating, "I don't think my parents would have made Ji Yeon-soo suffer." The two showed differing views at the time regarding the issues in their marriage, including the conflict with the mother-in-law.

Given that Ji Yeon-soo, who previously revealed such past wounds, is now reconsidering new relationships and a family, this confession carries special meaning. Above all, her emphasis on harmony with her son Min-su as a condition for remarriage caught the eye. As meeting a new spouse could affect the entire lives of the two, it is evident that she intends to choose a partner carefully.

Ji Yeon-soo married Eli, who is 11 years younger, in 2014 and had a son, but they divorced in 2020. Since then, she has been raising her son alone. Now, after a long time has passed since the divorce, interest is gathering in what kind of connection Ji Yeon-soo, who has directly mentioned the possibility of remarriage, will meet in the future.
