Beenzino's Wife Miryo-va Looks Back on 16 Years Together: 'Still Happy Every Morning'

Model Miryo-va marked her anniversary with rapper Beenzino on social media this week, tracing 16 years of their relationship in a post that covered long-distance romance, his military service, two adopted rescue dogs, and the home they eventually built together. The post arrives as the couple prepare for their second child, a detail visible in the accompanying photos.

Miryo-va wrote that the two have been together for 12 years and married for four, then listed what those years actually contained: a long-distance relationship, Beenzino's mandatory military service, relocating to an unfamiliar country, adopting two stray dogs, turning a space into a home, and the arrival of their first child. "And so many hairstyles along the way," she added, before closing with something quieter: that waking up next to Beenzino, whose given name is Im Sung-bin, still makes her happy every morning.

The photos, taken in what appears to be a residential garden, show the couple in relaxed, affectionate poses. Miryo-va, dressed in a grey tracksuit, smiled openly while visibly far along in her pregnancy. Beenzino had his arm around her waist.

For readers less familiar with Korean hip-hop, Beenzino is one of the genre's more respected figures from the early 2010s Illionaire Records era, known for a measured, literary approach to rap that has always kept his personal life relatively out of view. Miryo-va, a model of Ethiopian-Korean heritage, has been more publicly visible in recent months after joining FC World Class, a celebrity women's football team on the SBS variety program Goal Hits the Girls.

The couple welcomed their first son, Rubin, in 2024. The new pregnancy has not been formally announced beyond what is visible in this post.
