Dynamic Duo's Gaeko and influencer-entrepreneur Kim Su-mi announced their divorce after 14 years of marriage, and Kim Su-mi's past remarks are receiving renewed attention.
Gaeko posted on his social media on the 16th, "Last year, after many long conversations, we decided to end our relationship as a married couple while respecting each other's lives," announcing the divorce and saying, "The two of us will continue to carry out our responsibilities as co-parents and fulfill our roles to the end."
On the same day, Kim Su-mi also said, "After many long, sufficient conversations last year, we decided to end our relationship as a married couple as a choice that respects each other's lives," and added, "Both of us will continue to carry out our responsibilities and roles as parents without change. We ask that you watch over us with a little warmth rather than excessive interest or hasty interpretations."
Amid widespread surprise at the sudden divorce announcement, remarks Kim Su-mi made when appearing on a web variety show are again receiving attention.
On the YouTube variety show "Not an annoying attention seeker sister," released in April last year, Kim Su-mi, asked by Lee Ji Hye "Would you marry Gaeko again if you were reborn or not?", replied, "Do I have to be reborn?" and could not answer easily.
To that, Lee Ji Hye asked again, "Would you marry a star or not?" and Kim Su-mi firmly said, "I would not marry a star."
She honestly revealed, "Living as a star's wife is not easy. Even after doing this play, when I talked about my feelings, I said thank you for letting me exist purely as the person Kim Su-mi, not someone's wife or someone's spouse."
She continued, "The life of a star's wife is in any case really difficult to be solely myself. Wherever I go, the introduction is someone's wife. It was like that even when I was a girlfriend, so I kept feeling like I didn't exist," which drew attention.
Meanwhile, Kim Su-mi married Gaeko in 2011 and has one son and one daughter, and she works as a broadcaster, beauty and fashion entrepreneur, and influencer, and she also took her first step as an actress through the play "12 Angry Men."
