Celebrity Ji Yeon-soo Calls Child Support from Ex-Husband Eli 'Grossly Insufficient'

South Korean celebrity Ji Yeon-soo has spoken out about the inadequacy of child support payments she receives from her ex-husband, Eli, a member of the K-pop group U-KISS. Ji Yeon-soo, who is raising their child alone, stated that the monthly payment of 850,000 won is "grossly insufficient" to cover the child's needs.

The prices are going up, but the calculation table is still insufficient, making it woefully inadequate.

In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Ji Yeon-soo addressed the issue of child support, particularly in response to a viewer's story about an ex-husband flaunting luxury goods on social media while allegedly neglecting payments. Ji Yeon-soo advised that such matters often require legal intervention, emphasizing that child support is a child's right, not a payment to the former spouse.

“

I receive 850,000 won (from my ex-husband Eli), but the minimum child support is 640,000 won.

She pointed to the outdated child support calculation standards, which she believes fail to keep pace with inflation and the rising cost of living. "Prices are going up, but the calculation table is still insufficient, making it woefully inadequate," Ji Yeon-soo explained. She noted that the minimum child support amount is 640,000 won, making her received 850,000 won barely above the minimum, despite the child's needs and the ex-husband's apparent financial capacity.

Child support is money spent on a child's upbringing, so it is the child's right. Men need to change their mindset first, thinking they are giving their own money to this woman.
