Broadcaster Eun Ji-won, former member of Sechs Kies, has announced his remarriage 13 years after his divorce, and his recent candid thoughts about family on a broadcast are gaining attention again. In particular, his statement, 'I feel like I would quit everything, including broadcasting, if I had a child,' has resonated with many and is becoming a topic of discussion.
Eun Ji-won, who has consistently kept the possibility of remarriage open, has finally chosen a new beginning after 13 years. Today, the 12th, his agency YG Entertainment announced, 'Eun Ji-won recently took wedding photos, and he plans to hold a quiet wedding ceremony in the near future,' adding, 'The bride-to-be is a non-celebrity, and we would appreciate warm support.'
Recently, during a meeting with members of Sechs Kies, Eun Ji-won caught attention by asserting in a firm tone, 'If I have a child, I won't be doing any broadcasting. All activities will stop. I'll just take care of the baby.' He also shared, 'I'm scared that I might change and become too obsessed with the child.' Furthermore, he noted, 'I have to do something. I might end up dying alone like this. If I collapse, someone needs to call 119,' providing laughs with his characteristic wit while revealing the loneliness he feels from a life lived alone.
In fact, Eun Ji-won has continually expressed his thoughts on remarriage through various broadcasts. Last July, when he appeared on Lee Kyung-kyu's YouTube channel, he stated, 'I didn't intend to get married, but these days I've been thinking that I should,' and added, 'After going through it once, I had no thoughts of marriage at all, but as I age and after losing both my mother and father, my perspective has changed a lot.'
He mentioned on the entertainment show 'Dolsing Geurje6,' in which he is currently a host, about dating someone with children, saying, 'As I get older, I'm grateful because a child could appear without my effort.' This reveals his gradually changing views on marriage. In response, netizens have expressed, 'I could feel the change in his views on marriage during the broadcast,' 'If he has a child, he will truly be all in as a dad,' and 'He joked about it on the show, but I felt his sincerity,' showing their congratulations and support.
Meanwhile, Eun Ji-won debuted with Sechs Kies in 1997 and got married in 2010 in Hawaii to a woman who is two years older and a judo athlete, but they divorced after two years. Since then, he has continued his broadcasting and music activities, receiving consistent love as his entertainment skills have been recognized.
