Suspicions have arisen that legendary Sechskies idol member Eun Ji Won (46) might have a girlfriend.

On July 11, the MBN variety show 'Love After Divorce 5' aired a segment featuring Gyu Deok and Hye Kyung visiting an electronics store. The MCs were surprised and asked, "Are they already preparing for marriage?" as the two discussed various appliances like refrigerators and rice cookers, showing their experience as former married individuals.

In the studio, Lee Hye Young, watching the scene, asked Eun Ji Won, "Do you have a rice cooker at home?" The other MCs, curious, leaned in, waiting for his answer. Eun Ji Won replied, "Yes, I have a rice cooker."

When asked if he cooks himself, he seemed a bit flustered and said, "I don't cook much myself, but my mother comes over and cooks sometimes."

Lee Ji Hye then teasingly suggested, "Sometimes a special lady comes over and cooks for you, right?" Eun Ji Won denied it, saying, "What special lady comes over to cook?"

Austin Kang, observing the conversation, interjected, "Not a special lady, but a girlfriend," to which Eun Ji Won responded vaguely, "Oh, come on..." He then added, "I'll take care of myself," further arousing the MCs' suspicions.

Eun Ji Won debuted in 1997 as a member of the idol group Sechskies and has since been active as a solo singer and entertainer. He married a Korean-American woman in Hawaii in April 2010, but they separated in August 2012. Since they did not officially register their marriage, it was not a legal marriage and divorce.

Meanwhile, on Lee Kyung Kyu's YouTube channel, Eun Ji Won appeared in a video on July 10, saying, "I originally had no plans to get married, but now I feel I must. As I attend more funerals than weddings at my age, the need has become more urgent."
