1. Eli Announces Remarriage, When is the Wedding?
Eli personally announced the news of his remarriage on his social media on June 11, 2026.
He shared wedding photos taken with his fiancée and revealed that the past five years were the most difficult yet transformative time of his life. He added that during that process, he met someone who brought him understanding, happiness, and peace, and expressed his gratitude for the news that he has now found the person to spend his life with.
It is reported that the wedding will take place in Korea on June 14, 2026. Eli, who currently resides in the United States, stated that he plans to continue his married life there after the wedding. However, he also mentioned that he expects to visit Korea frequently, leaving open the possibility of future domestic activities and communication with fans.

2. Who is Eli's bride-to-be?
Eli's fiancée is a non-celebrity woman. According to reports, she was born in 1991, making her the same age as Eli. The two first met on December 12, 2022, through a mutual acquaintance and began dating. Her occupation or specific personal details have not been disclosed.
Eli revealed that the reason he decided to get married was because his fiancée understood even the fact that he was divorced and had a child. He expressed his gratitude, in particular, for cheering him on whenever he visited his child and for supporting him by asking about the child's well-being.
Beyond simply finding new love, the core of this announcement appears to be the choice to make a fresh start with someone who has accepted both their past and present.
3. What happened after the divorce from Ji Yeon-su?
Eli married Ji Yeon-su, a former racing model and TV personality, in 2014, and welcomed a son in 2016.
However, in 2020, about six years after their marriage, they announced their divorce. At the time, Eli stated that he was staying in the United States while his ex-wife and son were in Korea, and that he would visit his son whenever possible and do his best to become the father his son needs.
Afterwards, Eli and Ji Yeon-soo garnered attention again by appearing together on the TV Chosun variety show *We Got Divorced 2*. The show attracted public interest as it revealed conflicts during the divorce process, financial issues, family problems, and their feelings for their son. Although the possibility of a reconciliation was mentioned at one point, the two eventually went their separate ways.
With this remarriage announcement, Eli has started a new family six years after his divorce.
4. Why is the statement “I won’t remarry” being brought up again?
Following the news of Eli's remarriage, his past remarks on a TV show are being brought up again. While appearing on *We Got Divorced 2*, he once stated that he had no intention of remarrying someone else after going through a difficult divorce process.
At the time, he likely felt resolute about remarriage because he was deeply traumatized after the divorce and was in the process of settling his relationship with his son and ex-wife, Ji Yeon-su.
However, as time passed, the situation changed. Eli met his current fiancée in late 2022 and described her as someone who helped him get through difficult times. Therefore, this remarriage can be seen not simply as a reversal of his past statements, but as a choice to change the direction of his life after a long period of recovery following his divorce.
Public reaction is also divided, with sentiments ranging from surprise and congratulations to consideration for Ji Yeon-su and her son.
