SECHSKIES leader Eun Ji Won is set to remarry, marking a new chapter in his personal life 13 years after his previous marriage ended. The 47-year-old K-pop veteran and television personality has officially confirmed his wedding plans through his agency YG Entertainment.
Official Announcement and Wedding Plans
On June 12, 2025, YG Entertainment released an official statement confirming Eun Ji Won’s upcoming nuptials. The agency announced that “Eun Ji Won recently took wedding photos and plans to hold a quiet ceremony with close family and friends within this year”. The couple has already completed their wedding photoshoot as part of their preparation for the upcoming ceremony.
The wedding is planned to be an intimate affair, with Eun Ji Won choosing to keep the celebration private and low-key. This approach reflects his consideration for his fiancée’s privacy and his desire to protect her from public scrutiny.
About the Bride-to-be
Eun Ji Won’s fiancée is a non-celebrity stylist who is nine years his junior. The couple first met through work, with their professional relationship gradually evolving into a close friendship that eventually blossomed into romance. Their relationship developed over many years, built on mutual trust and affection, before they decided to get married.
The bride-to-be’s identity has been kept private out of respect for her wishes to avoid public exposure. Eun Ji Won has been cautious throughout the marriage preparation process to minimize any external burden or exposure for his partner.
Previous Marriage History
Eun Ji Won was previously married in April 2010 to a woman two years his senior, whom he met in Hawaii. However, the marriage ended after approximately two years due to personality differences. Interestingly, Eun Ji Won revealed on MBN’s “Dolsing Fourmen” that he never legally registered this first marriage. He explained that “in the U.S., it’s not easy to register a marriage if the couple has different nationalities,” making him technically single in legal terms.
Public Statements on Remarriage
Eun Ji Won has been open about his desire to remarry on various television programs over the years. On “Love After Divorce 4,” he stated, “I do want to remarry.

The singer’s perspective on marriage evolved significantly after his father’s passing. He explained that seeing his mother alone after his father’s death made him reconsider his stance on remarriage, with his mother even suggesting he should get married again.
