Kim Sumi, the ex-wife of Dynamic Duo's Gaeko and now active as a businesswoman, issued an official statement regarding the divorce.
On the 16th, Kim Sumi opened her remarks on her SNS, saying, "Because this is a personal matter, I convey it with a careful heart." She added, "After long and sufficient conversations last year, we decided to conclude our relationship as a married couple as a choice to respect each other's lives."
She also clarified the relationship after the divorce. Kim Sumi emphasized the intention for co-parenting, saying, "Both of us will continue to carry out our responsibilities and roles as parents without change," and she closed by asking, "Rather than excessive interest or hasty interpretation, please watch over us with just a little warmth."
Earlier, in January 2026, Gaeko also announced the divorce directly on his SNS. He said, "With a careful heart I share a personal update," adding, "We decided to conclude our relationship as a married couple while respecting each other's lives," and he said, "The joint parenting responsibilities as parents will continue to the end."
The two married in 2011 and have one son and one daughter. After marrying, Kim Sumi devoted herself to raising children, then challenged herself in the cosmetics business and succeeded, establishing herself as a businesswoman. Through past variety shows and YouTube content, she honestly shared her story of childbirth, parenting, and overcoming career interruption, which resonated with many.
In particular, Kim Sumi drew attention for remarks such as, "I don't know exactly how much my husband earns," and, "I earned a lot when I started my business," showing an independent attitude toward life. These remarks have been spotlighted again and drawn interest following Gaeko's divorce announcement.
