Following the announcement by U-KISS‘s Eli that he got married in 2014 and that his wife is three months pregnant, his agency NH EMG has released an official statement on the news.
According to NH EMG’s statement on December 5, Eli had been with his spouse, a model who is 11 years his senior, for five years before they registered their marriage in June of last year. However, Eli did not notify his company of the marriage until October 2014. Because he worried that the news of his marriage getting out would negatively affect the company and his members, Eli decided not to announce the marriage at the time.
When Eli discovered his wife was pregnant in early November, he alerted the company and began to consider announcing his marriage to the public then.
The statement continued on to say that the company was just as surprised by Eli’s announcement on Instagram as everyone else was. “Hiding the fact that they were married and avoiding the public eye was putting a strain on the mother and baby,” the statement said. “Eli has apologized for any harm done to his members and the company because of his surprising announcement.”
NH EMG has said that Eli’s marriage and his wife’s pregnancy will not affect his activities, U-KISS or otherwise. His current schedules, an upcoming fan meeting in Japan and his participation in the drama “Only You” with fellow member Kevin, will continue on as planned.
Meanwhile, former member Dongho just got married last week. It sure seems like the wedding bells are ringing for U-KISS!

U-KISS leader Soohyun has taken to Twitter to voice his thoughts on fellow member Eli’s big announcement.
오늘 있었던 일라이의 갑작스러운 발표로 놀라게 해드린 팬 여러분들 정말 걱정많이하셨죠 놀라게해드려서 죄송합니다 저희도 당황스러웠지만 생각해보니 본인은 그동안 얼마나 힘들었을지 생각하니 마음이 아프네요 .아마미리알리고싶었을테지만 용기가나지않았을겁니다.
— shin soo hyun (@ukissSH) December 5, 2015저희 유키스는 이번일로 더욱 팬들과의 소통에 신경쓰겠습니다.화나신분들도 계시고 축복해주시는분도 계십니다. 용기를 낸 일라이에게도 앞으로 태어날 아기에게도 힘을 주세요.
— shin soo hyun (@ukissSH) December 5, 2015이런일이 있었다해도 저희 유키스는 변할것이 없습니다.이번일로 더욱 성숙된모습 보이겠습니다. 다시한번 리더로서 죄송하다는말 전해드리겠습니다. 더열심히 하겠습니다.
감사합니다.
— shin soo hyun (@ukissSH) December 5, 2015In a string of tweets, Soohyun wrote, “Our fans must be really worried because of the shocking news today. I apologize for the shock. We were also taken back, but I’m heartbroken thinking about how long [Eli and his wife] must have suffered. They probably wanted to tell us ahead of time but didn’t have the courage to do so.”
He continued, “Because of this, U-KISS will make sure to pay more attention to our communication with the fans. There are people who are angry, and people who send their blessings. From here on out, please lend your strength to Eli, who has gathered his courage, and to his baby who will be born.”
In his final tweet, Soohyun finished by promising that U-KISS wouldn’t change and that they will show a more mature side of themselves. “As the leader, I wish to express my apologies once more,” he wrote. “We’ll strive to work even harder. Thank you.”

Former U-KISS member Dongho tied the knot with his non-celebrity wife
Celebrity baseball player Cho Young Bo posted a selca with Dongho to his Instagram, writing, “Congratulations on your wedding, baby bridegroom. You’ve already gotten married… when will it be my turn…”
The wedding was attended by a number of celebrities, as well. Comedian Byun Ki Soo presided over the ceremony, and Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun and singer McKay Kim sang the nuptial songs.
Dongho previously opened up about the wedding, saying, “I’ve always wanted to get married early. I’m really in love with my fiancée.” He added, “Of course there are people who are worried about us getting married so young, but we discussed it a lot between the two of us beforehand.”
Former U-kiss member Alexander also attended. :)
Congratulations Dongho!😁 @Dongho94 막내야! 행복하게살아!!😍 https://t.co/r8XDQDS5UJ

Meet the young handsome bridegroom! (Not me but Dongho of course 😏). To be honest, I was worried about our magnae when I first heard the news. But after attending the wedding, I'm not worried anymore. I almost forgot that he's a grown-up young man already. Reminds me of our debut song Not Young (어리지않아). "We're all grown up!"🎵😁 If u truly support Dongho, respect his decision and send him your blessings!^^ Congratulations and may God bless and guide your marriage Dongho!😭😁💖 (P.S:Where's my wife!?!?👀 LOL)
막내야~~ 진심으로축하한다!! 먼저가면 형이 어덯해!?!?😭 ㅋㅋㅋ 앞으로 행복하게 살아!!!💖😁 #Dongho #신동호 #Xander #알렉산더 #wedding #banquet #결혼식 #congratulations #handsome #young #bridegroom #beautiful #wife #delicious #meal #PerfectWedding #SoTouched #iFeelOld #ButiLookYoungSoWhatever #WheresMyWife

Date: 2015-12-05 10:54 pm (UTC)Dongho's wife looks a bit older too. Even tho hes 21, I still can't help but think of him as the child he debuted as. Nonetheless, I wish them both happy marriages.
Also, my heart fluttered at Alexander. I was just thinking about him (and Kibum) the other day and he still looks really good

Date: 2015-12-06 12:05 am (UTC)eli on the other hand... i know that he always said he likes older women, that he wants to become a young father (man it all makes sense now lol), but a woman 11 years his senior? god damn. i wonder what his wife sees in him, if she treats him like a man or just a... young boy? idk how to explain it, but i never understand what exactly older women see in young men. and 11 years is a lot considering his age.

Date: 2015-12-06 02:06 am (UTC)NH media hasnt done the best job before but when it comes to making their artists happy, they're pretty good at it. Letting Dongho leave when he wanted, letting Jaeseop study, letting the boys stay with their family instead of in a dorm, etc. I'm happy the boys are given the chance to live a less stricter lives compared to other idols.
