Dynamic Duo's Gaeko and businesswoman Kim Sumi announced their divorce after 14 years of marriage.
On the 16th, Gaeko opened by posting on his social media, "Hello. This is Gaeko. I am sharing a personal matter with a cautious heart." He directly announced the divorce, saying, "Last year, after many long conversations, we decided to conclude our relationship as a married couple while respecting each other's lives."
He added, "We, as parents, will carry on the shared responsibility of co-parenting and fulfill our roles to the end," and asked, "Please watch over us with a warm gaze."
On the same day, Kim Sumi also released a statement about the divorce on social media. Kim Sumi said, "Because this is a personal matter, I share it with a cautious heart," and added, "Last year, after long and sufficient conversations, we decided to organize our relationship as a married couple by choosing to respect each other's lives."
She also reiterated the intention for co-parenting, saying, "Both of us will continue to share the responsibilities and roles of being parents without change," and urged, "Rather than excessive interest or premature interpretations, please watch over us with a slightly warm gaze."
The two married in 2011 and have one son and one daughter. After marriage, Kim Sumi focused on childcare, then took on a cosmetics business and established herself as a businesswoman, candidly sharing her experiences of childbirth, career interruption and reemployment, which resonated with many.
Through past entertainment shows and YouTube content, Kim Sumi revealed an independent attitude toward life with remarks such as, "I don't know exactly how much my husband earns," and "When I started my business, I earned a lot too." Those remarks have come back into focus and attracted attention following Gaeko's divorce announcement.
However, because Gaeko had publicly shown affection by sharing daily life with his wife, including posting photos from a trip to Japan for their anniversary last year, fans have been surprised by the sudden news of the divorce.
Meanwhile, Gaeko has continued steady musical activity in the hip-hop scene as a member of Dynamic Duo, and Kim Sumi has walked her own path, operating a brand and producing content as a businesswoman. Although the two have ended their relationship as a married couple, they made clear that they will maintain a cooperative relationship as the children's parents.<
