I knew someone was going to do this. Eli from Ukiss was married for a year and had not told the fans. He also kept it from his company and his members.
Before his marriage was announced, I said this was going to happen. In fact, if I were in this industry in Korea this is exactly what I would have done. There are just too many fans that would have hated on my husband because we got married or were dating, so I would keep it a secret until our first child, or possible second if I could keep it that long.
The interesting thing about them is the 11 year age gap, and his wife is older. But, frankly, I have seen many kdramas with large age gaps and I shipped those couples so I have no issues with age gaps as long as the couples look good together and they do, so I don't care.
Eli might be the first Ukiss member to get married but we have an ex-Ukiss memeber Dongho who got married recently.

and their son, Shin Ah-sel. (Dongho is no longer in the entertainment business and is living a pretty normal life with his wife and son.) Asher Shin (I believe this is his English name).
Eli even added in a cute thank you for his wife and mentioned his child in their Ukiss album Stalker.
It reads,''And also I want to thank my wife for always standing by me when times are tough and always having my back when no one does. And after 10 months of pain thank you so much for bringing our angel into the world! ^^I love you! Michael I love you too!''
Recently, Eli was on a show called Mr. House Husband. We got to see a little into the life he know lives as a married man and father.
Here is the link to the show:

I just want to Thank Eli for Finally telling us so that we can congratulate him and see how cute his family really is. Some fans might be upset that he kept from Kissmes for so long, but, my respect for this man grew when I found out. He was trying to not hurt his fans and not have his family bashed publicly by fans. Kpop Fans are not that tolerant of their stars getting married and so what else should the Kpop stars do?
I think that keeping this information from us was the only real option I see. In fact, I feel bad for him he spends hardly any time with his family because Ukiss is more popular in Japan than in Korea and so he basically lives in Japan. I hope he gets on a constant show such as Superman Returns so he can spend more time with his wife and child.
