A music producer couple is about to be born. The protagonists are Kush, who created the global hit song "Soda Pop," and Vivien, the cousin of Girls' Generation member Yuri. After nine years of dating, Kush and Vivien are approaching a second act in life through marriage.
The Black Label, the agency representing Kush and Vivien, told OSEN on the 8th, "Kush and Vivien will tie the knot on the 11th," and said in an official statement, "We ask for your understanding that it is difficult to disclose detailed information about the wedding."
Thus, Kush and Vivien, who went public with their relationship in July 2016, after nine years of a long-term relationship will form a marital bond. Their union is receiving significant attention from K-pop fans because it marks the birth of a music producer couple.
Kush, born in 1984, and Vivien, born in 1993, are a couple who overcame a nine-year age gap. They nurtured their love through a long-term relationship lasting up to 10 years and also share music as a common denominator. Both are actively promoting under The Black Label.
Kush officially debuted in 2003 with Stony Skunk, and in 2007 he transitioned to songwriting, working on tracks for Big Bang and 2NE1 at YG Entertainment. In 2008 he participated in G-Dragon's solo song "But I Love U" and Taeyang's solo album "Hot" track "Look at Me Only," and began walking the producer path in earnest. He was highly praised for writing, composing and providing rap featuring on Taeyang's "Make Love."
In 2009 he co-wrote 2NE1's first mini album title track "I Don't Care" with Teddy, and he also worked on 2NE1's first album title track "Clap Your Hands." Kush also worked on singer Zion.T's "Yanghwa Bridge," and in 2015 he produced the song for MBC variety program "Infinite Challenge"'s "Yeongdong Expressway Song Festival." He also became widely known through the cable channel Mnet's "Show Me the Money Season 5."
Kush joined The Black Label, under YG, founded by Teddy in 2016, and in 2017 he was embroiled in controversy over alleged violations of the Narcotics Control Act. At the time, he was indicted on charges that he bought 2.5 grams of cocaine from an acquaintance and consumed 0.7 grams across seven occasions at his residence and elsewhere, and he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison with a four-year suspended sentence.
Kush, who has worked with Miyau and Izna, recently gained fame again by participating in the songwriting and composing of "Soda Pop" and "Your Idol," sung by the Lion Boys, for the Netflix animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," which has been a global hit.
Former model Vivien appeared in numerous magazine pictorials and advertisements and first gained fame as the cousin of Girls' Generation member Yuri. She attracted great interest when she publicly dated Kush starting in 2016, and last year she participated as a producer on the Mnet girl group debut survival program I-LAND2: FINAL COUNTDOWN. She later worked as the creative director of the team Izna formed thereafter.
Vivien appeared on variety shows with Yuri in the past, and in 2017 on the cable channel MBC Every1's "Video Star" she answered about her cousin Yuri's fame, "While I benefit from my sister's influence, I am also building my own career."
As a music producer, he participated in works including Big Bang's "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter," BLACKPINK's "Ready For Love," Taeyang's "Nightfall," Jeon So-mi's "Individually," BLACKPINK Jisoo's "Flower," Cho Hyun-a's "I'll Give," Heize's "Round and Round," and G-Dragon's "HOME SWEET HOME," among others. He also worked with his partner Kush on songs for Jisoo, Cho Hyun-a and Heize.
