K-pop star Eun Ji-won has revealed his plans for having a second child.
On October 13, Eun Ji-won appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhyung Shin Dong-yup' alongside Lee Soo-geun.
Eun Ji-won announced his marriage to a stylist nine years his junior in June. At the time, his agency, YG Entertainment, stated, "Eun Ji-won recently took wedding photos and plans to have a quiet ceremony with close family members later this year. We appreciate your warm support." His wife, a stylist, has been a long-time acquaintance.
Eun Ji-won explained the reason for having a family-only wedding, saying, "Since it's my second marriage, I wanted to be more cautious. My wife and I agreed to have a family ceremony. I'm shy about receiving compliments, so a small ceremony felt right." When Lee Soo-geun mentioned Eun Ji-won's first marriage, Eun Ji-won humorously responded, "That was because we had the wedding overseas."
Eun Ji-won further shared, "It seems natural to end up with someone who has been close by. I've never gone out to meet people." Shin Dong-yup, who married a producer, and Lee Soo-geun, who married a stylist, congratulated him, acknowledging the value of knowing someone well.
When asked about plans for a second child, Eun Ji-won said, "I don't have dreams of it yet since I'm alone, but it might change when I have a family. If a child comes naturally, I'll accept it." He added, "I've never seen anyone who tried hard to have a child succeed immediately. Some people gave up on multiple IVF attempts and conceived naturally."
Previously, Eun Ji-won appeared on the YouTube channel 'Jang Su-won Hae Yo' and declared, "If I have a second child, I won't do any broadcasting. I'll stop all activities. I'll only focus on the child. I'm scared of how much I'll change and become obsessed with the child."
