'Hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo's Gaeko and entrepreneur Kim Sumi announced their divorce after 14 years of marriage, and because they had been actively pursuing their own activities until last year, the news is all the more surprising.
Gaeko on the 16th posted on his social media, "I share personal news with a cautious heart," saying, "after many long conversations last year, we decided to respect each other's lives and conclude our relationship as a married couple." He added, "As parents, the shared responsibility of raising our children will continue to the end," emphasizing responsibility for their children.
On the same day Kim Sumi also posted on social media, "Because this is a personal matter I share it cautiously," and said, "after ample conversations last year, we resolved our marital relationship as a choice to respect each other's lives." She asked people to refrain from excessive interpretation, saying, "we will continue together in our responsibilities and roles as parents without change."
In particular, Gaeko had shared photos from a trip to Japan for their wedding anniversary last year, sharing the couple's daily life, so the belated news of the divorce came as a greater surprise to fans.
In response to the news, internet users reacted, "I was more surprised because the wedding anniversary travel photos looked so nice," "even if they look happy on the outside you can't know a couple's circumstances," and "I want to support the promise of joint parenting for the sake of the children." Messages of support continued, saying, "I hope they both stand up well in their own places again," and "I hope it was a choice made out of mutual respect."
Because the two clearly stated they would continue their responsibilities as parents even after choosing divorce, attention is focused on what paths each will take in their respective careers.
Kim Sumi has been active as Gaeko's wife, a broadcaster and an influencer; she married in 2011 and has a son and a daughter.
