"Korean rapper" Code Kunst breaks up with girlfriend of 8 years

Korean rapper, producer, and TV personality Code Kunst has split with his longtime girlfriend.

According to reporting by Ten Asia on June 30, Code Kunst has ended his relationship with a non-celebrity partner he had dated for more than eight years. Both born in 1989, the two had been together since 2016 before parting ways. His former partner is known to work in the fashion magazine industry. The couple bonded over shared interests in fashion, music, and cats, sustaining their relationship for years.

Code Kunst has kept a packed schedule in recent years, splitting his time between broadcasting and producing. An industry source said he is staying focused on music work and TV commitments following the breakup.

In March 2025, Code Kunst spoke about his thoughts on marriage during an appearance on the YouTube channel "Naraesik." "I also want to get married and have a baby," he said at the time. "Everyone says they want to get married, but I think there has to be something you can let go of first. Right now, we keep pushing it to next year. These are things you should do as a person."

Code Kunst debuted in 2013 with the single "Lemonade." He went on to release albums including "Flower," "JOKE!," and "XI," establishing himself as one of Korea's leading producers. He has also been a regular presence on Korean television, appearing on MBC's "I Live Alone," Mnet's "Show Me the Money" series, and JTBC's "Sing Again 3," earning recognition for both his musicianship and on-screen presence.
