Interest is focused on the remarriage announcement…Eun Ji-won said, “If I have a child, I will stop broadcasting and dedicate myself to parenting.”
As fans showered Eun Ji-won, a former member of Sechs Kies, with congratulations on his remarriage news announced after 13 years, attention is also focused on his past statements about his true feelings on parenting and whether he plans to have a second child.
Earlier, on the 12th, his agency, YG Entertainment, officially stated, “Eun Ji-won recently took wedding photos and plans to have a quiet wedding ceremony this year. Please watch over them with warm eyes.” The bride-to-be is known to be a non-celebrity stylist, and it is said that the couple decided to marry after quietly nurturing their love.
Meanwhile, remarks made by Eun Ji-won on the MBN entertainment program “Dolsing Geurijeu 6,” which he hosted, are once again attracting attention. While discussing remarriage to someone with children, when a participant’s mother said, “If a woman with children likes you, that’s a bonus,” Eun Ji-won immediately responded, “I think the same way. I wouldn’t have the stress of wanting to have a child. I would just be grateful to have a child.”
This was not just a comment for broadcast. Recently, when Eun Ji-won met with members of Sechs Kies, he said, “(If I have a child) I won’t work. I will stop all activities. I will only take care of the child. I think I will be so obsessed that it’s scary to think about how I will change,” revealing his deep sense of responsibility regarding parenting. He also conveyed his sincerity by stating during his appearance on Jang Su-won's YouTube content, “Watching Jang Su-won’s marriage made me change my mind. If I have a child, I think I will quit everything and just raise the child.”
Additionally, he said about remarriage, “I have to do it. I might die alone. When I collapse, someone has to call 119,” adding humor, but within that was a clear yearning for family.
These remarks are from just over a month ago. And the remarriage announcement made in that short time has brought surprise and warm emotion to many fans. Among fans, there are responses expressing congratulations and support, such as, “Now Eun Ji-won can finally build a warm family,” “I look forward to seeing him raise a child,” and “I want to see him living happily for a long time.”
Eun Ji-won debuted in 1997 as a member of Sechs Kies, and has established himself as an idol star representing a generation while actively working as a singer and entertainer. He married once in 2010 but divorced after two years, and has lived as a single person for a long time since. Now he has chosen love once again, and this time he is stepping closer to the essence of life, which is ‘family.’
