Eli of U-Kiss dropped a huge bomb on Kiss-Me’s all over the world when he announced about his secret marriage and soon-to-be father status on his Instagram post. What followed was pure chaos as the Instagram post was deleted, reposted and again deleted. With members Soohyun and Kevin speaking in support of Eli’s marriage through Twitter.
After posting on his instagram and then deleting it , Eli has finally came out and broke the silence on why he kept his marriage silent for nearly a year.
In his twitter post, Eli confesses on keeping the marriage secret with his girlfriend of five years because of his idol status and in concern of his family-like group members. Wanting to come clean many times, Eli failed to announce his wedding publicly, and admits he felt guilty about not being able to even attend the hospital with his wife when they got to know about the pregnancy, leading to the public announcement in his Instagram post.
안녕하세요 유키스 일라입니다. 제일먼저 사랑하는 가족들 사랑하는 멤버들 우리 키스미팬분들 그리고 nhemg 식구들 일본 에이벡스 식구들과 절 사랑하는모든분들께 걱정끼쳐드리고 사전에 미리 말씀 못드려서 죄송합니다.

제 행동이 너무 갑작스러워서 많이 놀라셨죠? 그동안 힘든일이 많았지만 유키스로서 살아오면서 한번도 후회해본적은 없습니다. 하지만 아이돌이라는 신분으로 사는 저로 인해 제 가족은 너무 힘들었습니다.

어디서도 떳떳히 못하게 숨어다녀야만 했습니다. 아이가 생겼을때도 병원도 맘편히 다니지를 못하는 제 자신이 너무 바보같았습니다. 가족을 지키지 위한 저만의 행동이었습니다.전 책임을 지고 싶었으니깐요…
