[TV Report = Reporter Jo Eun-ji] Rapper Beenzino and his German model wife Stefanie Michova have revealed their son’s nationality.
On the 29th, Stefanie Michova shared on her personal account, calling their son “Germany’s newest citizen” and showing his German passport. In the photo, Beenzino is seen smiling brightly while holding their son, who is clutching his passport with his small hand, bringing smiles to those who see it.
According to German nationality law, if one parent is a German citizen, the child automatically acquires German nationality. Similarly, under Korean nationality law, if one parent holds Korean nationality, the child automatically qualifies as a Korean national.
With parents of different nationalities, Beenzino’s son must choose which country to obtain citizenship from before he turns 22. Currently, he holds dual citizenship in both Korea and Germany, but dual nationals must choose one nationality under the law.
Meanwhile, born in 1987, Beenzino debuted with the album ‘Lifes Like’ in October 2010. He gained great popularity with hits such as ‘Aquaman,’ ‘Boogie On & On,’ ‘Dali, Van, Picasso,’ and ‘Break.’
Last year, Beenzino received the ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Best Rap & Hip-hop: Album’ awards at the 21st Korean Music Awards. At the 8th Korean Hip-hop Awards in the same year, he won ‘Artist of the Year,’ ‘Hip-hop Album of the Year,’ and ‘Collaboration of the Year,’ proving his enduring popularity and skill.
Stefanie Michova has appeared in music videos of singers like Kim Junsu and the group ‘Super Junior,’ among others, while being active in Korea. She made headlines due to her public relationship with Beenzino, becoming well-known to Korean audiences.
Beenzino and Stefanie Michova reportedly started dating in August 2014. Beenzino proposed to Stefanie Michova in 2020, and they officially registered their marriage in August 2022, becoming a formally married couple.
