According to a report from TenAsia on June 30, Code Kunst and his longtime girlfriend recently decided to separate after much consideration. The couple, both born in 1989, had been together since 2016, supporting each other throughout their relationship before ultimately deciding to go their separate ways and wishing each other the best for the future.
Code Kunst’s ex-girlfriend is reportedly a professional working in the fashion magazine industry. The couple bonded over several common interests, including fashion, music and their pet cat, and quietly kept their relationship away from the public eye. Despite Code Kunst’s growing popularity through both music and television, the couple largely kept their romance private.
According to insiders, Code Kunst has remained focused on his music production work and previously scheduled television appearances despite going through the emotional aftermath of the breakup. In recent years, he has balanced a hectic schedule filled with music production and appearances on popular variety shows, leaving him little personal time.
Following news of the breakup, fans revisited Code Kunst’s candid remarks about the wedding last year. In March 2025, while appearing as a guest on the YouTube talk show Naareesikhe openly admitted that he wanted to get married and start a family one day. “I want to get married and have kids too. But even though everyone says they want to get married, I think I need to be able to let go of certain things in my current life first. Somehow, we always end up putting everything off until next year. These are things that people do naturally, but we keep putting them off.”
His honest comments resonated with many viewers at the time, as he spoke about the difficulty of balancing his career ambitions with his personal life.
Code Kunst debuted in 2013 with the single “Lemonade”. Since then, he has established himself as one of Korea’s leading hip-hop producers through acclaimed projects including “Flower”, “JOKE!” and “XI”. In addition to music production, he has also become a familiar face on television through programs such as Home alone (I live alone) AND Show me the moneywhere his witty personality and thoughtful criticism earned him widespread popularity.
Although his long-term relationship has come to an end, it is expected that Code Kunst will continue to focus on both his music career and broadcasting activities.
