Ji Yeon-soo Congratulates Ex-Husband Eli on Remarriage: "I'm Already Happy with My Son Min-soo"

Broadcaster Ji Yeon-soo (45) has shared her thoughts on the remarriage of her ex-husband Eli (35), a former member of the boy band U-KISS.

On June 22, on her YouTube channel "Ji Yeon-soo's Yeonsooropda," Ji calmly spoke about Eli starting a family with his new partner on June 14, saying, "I knew about his marriage. I just didn't know when it would happen." Ji and Eli had a son, Min-soo, but ended their six-year marriage and divorced in 2020.

Ji continued, "To be honest, my first thought was of Min-soo. Some of the parents at school know who Min-soo's father is, so I was worried that he might hear about it at school and get hurt." However, she shared that Min-soo also knew about his father's remarriage and reacted calmly, even offering his congratulations.

Ji added, "He is still in his 30s. It is an age where he should live his life, getting remarried and having children if he wants. I believe I have already found happiness with Min-soo. He is just bearing the fruits of happiness a little later than I did. Since he made this decision, I sincerely hope everything goes well for him and that he is happy."

Ji previously appeared with Eli on the TV Chosun variety show "We Got Divorced," which aired in 2022. Although this led to many misunderstandings and controversies, Ji confessed regarding the broadcast at the time, "We did it to make a living. We chose that show for our livelihood, and it is true that I made money in exchange for revealing my private life. However, that choice was made by the adults, not Min-soo. I always feel sorry about that part."

Regarding the ongoing fake news on YouTube, Ji emphasized, "Watching YouTube, I thought I had remarried. There were rumors that I remarried a dentist five years younger than me and even gave birth to a daughter. In reality, I have never even met such a person. Seeing things completely unrelated to my life spread as if they actually happened made me realize I need to distance myself from such fake news. I don't want to be involved in any rumors. I just want to live as myself."

Meanwhile, Ji is currently raising her son Min-soo while running a restaurant and continuing her broadcasting activities.
