Elie (35), formerly of the group U-KISS, announced his remarriage, bringing renewed attention to his past remarks on the TV Chosun variety program 'We Divorced 2'.

Elie appeared on 'We Divorced 2', which aired in 2022, alongside his ex-wife Ji Yeon-soo. Previously, he married Ji Yeon-soo, a former racing model 11 years his senior, in November 2014, and they had a son in 2016 before their marriage ended in 2020. The two later appeared on 'We Divorced 2', sharing updates on their lives after divorce and sparking widespread discussion.

Notably, in the May 20, 2022 broadcast, Elie and Ji Yeon-soo were shown reuniting temporarily due to their son Min-su's wishes. During the broadcast, they discovered an old wedding photo album and reminisced. When Ji Yeon-soo suggested, "Let's throw everything away except Min-su's photos," Elie asked back, "Are you sure?" and "You have no lingering feelings?" while hesitating briefly.

Elie then said, "We shouldn't throw away the album," adding, "We don't know the future, so why throw it away? If Min-su later wants to see his mom's wedding photos, we should show them." He persuaded her accordingly. Ji Yeon-soo responded, "Just put it in a box for now," to which Elie replied, "Regardless, since we're family, we should keep family photos. Even after divorce, we're still family."

When Ji Yeon-soo asked, "What if you remarry like that?" Elie turned the question back with, "With you?" creating an awkward atmosphere. He then added, "I won't remarry (with someone else). I'll live like this," drawing attention.

Ji Yeon-soo then joked sharply, "Do you want to experience the pain of being kicked out of here within a day of moving in?" while smiling. However, with Elie announcing his remarriage six years after the divorce, his past remarks are once again drawing attention.

On the 11th, Elie personally announced his remarriage via his SNS. He shared wedding photos and stated, "The past six years were the most difficult yet transformative period of my life. They were filled with twists and turns, hard lessons, personal growth, and moments that allowed me to see life from a different perspective."

He continued, "In that process, I was blessed to meet a wonderful woman who brought understanding, happiness, and peace into my life. Her patience and support helped me get through my most difficult times, and the good moments became even more meaningful."

According to The Korea Herald, Elie is scheduled to marry his same-age partner on the 14th. In an interview with the outlet, he said, "We started dating on December 12, 2022." This means he found a new connection about five months after 'We Divorced 2' concluded in July 2022.

Elie also said, "I am grateful to be able to share the happy news that I have found someone to spend the rest of my life with. I consider it a great fortune to start a new chapter with her, and I look forward to all the futures that lie ahead for us."

He also expressed gratitude to his fans. He stated, "I sincerely thank everyone who has supported me. Your love and encouragement have been a greater strength than I could have imagined. Without those who stayed by my side during difficult times, I would not be who I am today."

Finally, he said, "At this moment when I am starting a new chapter in my life, I once again deeply thank you for your love, encouragement, and support."
