The family spent quality time together and also engaged in sincere conversations. During dinner, Eli carefully commented, "My parents must've been very upset because I went on and registered for marriage without them knowing." 

His mother responded, "I was upset but what can I do? I have to respect my son's decision." Eli's father also stated, "Yeah, we were upset. I even said that I will only see my son and not Yeon Soo (Eli's wife)." 

However, Eli's father revealed that his mind changed after a phone call. He explained, "But I remember it was when you were in Japan for a concert. I was talking on the phone with you and I said, 'Son, you know I love you, right?' and you said, 'Dad, I love Yeon Soo'. Then I felt like we can end up facing a situation where we no longer see each other, and I couldn't let that happen."

During the interview, Eli's father further explained, "It felt like the sky was crashing down. At first, I didn't really know who she was." 

Eli's mother shed tears and revealed, "My son told me ahead of time before the news officially broke out. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't eat for a week. I was against it because of the age difference but I couldn't just keep rejecting. After I accepted, my daughter-in-law seemed very beautiful. She's very nice."

Back in 2015, Eli surprised many with his sudden marriage news with girlfriend 11 years his senior.
