Ah, romance. Nothing quite captures the ethereal essence of true love like a seven-minute TikTok roast, a full-blown war over luxury handbags, and artificial intelligence acting as a relationship counselor.

Singapore has suffered a devastating blow: Steven Lim Kor Kor and his content-creator girlfriend Lihui have officially broken up. According to Lihui, there is “no way we will patch back anymore.”

Before we dive into the fallout, we need to take a step back and answer the question for anyone who has been living under a rock: Who on earth are these people?

The Players: Who Are Steven Lim and Lihui?

If you grew up in Singapore anytime in the last two decades, Steven Lim needs no introduction. He is the ultimate OG internet personality—a man who basically pioneered “unhinged clout-chasing” long before TikTok was even a twinkle in ByteDance’s eye.

Steven first exploded onto national television during the 2004 Singapore Idol auditions, where he famously stripped down to his yellow underwear while aggressively dancing to Ricky Martin’s She Bangs.

Since then, Steven’s entire career has been a fever dream of legendary proportions:

* The Eyebrow Street Plucker: He published a 20-page autobiography titled Steven Lim, The Eyebrow Street Plucker, teaching readers essential life skills like eyebrow shaping and skin care.

* The Famous Celebrity Agency: He ran a talent management agency where he would recruit young “models” via bizarre online casting calls and rank women using a strict “pointer” scale (e.g., calling someone a “9.5 pointer”).

* The AFC Boxing Incident: In 2017, he participated in a live celebrity boxing match against bodybuilder Pradip Subramanian (after original opponent Sylvester Sim pulled out). Tragically, Subramanian passed away from cardiac arrest after the match, but Steven’s bizarre social media reaction post-fight left the entire nation speechless.

Fast forward to mid-2025: Steven, pushing late 40s and actively advertising for a girlfriend on social media, announced he had found love with Lihui, an established lifestyle content creator and live-streamer. According to Steven, Lihui slid into his DMs to “apply” to be his girlfriend. The two immediately launched a joint TikTok account (@sarahstevenlove) to document their grand romance.

Naturally, it took less than a year for the relationship to completely implode.

The Breakup Drama: Dior, Chanel, and TikTok Diss Tracks

The breakup didn’t happen behind closed doors. This is Steven Lim we are talking about; it had to be a public circus.

Lihui fired the opening shot by uploading a marathon 7.5-minute TikTok video detailing the grocery list of Steven’s alleged red flags:

1. The Livestream Oversharing: She accused Steven of being deeply insecure and “talking cock” about their private intimacy on public livestreams.
2. The “Materialistic” Hypocrisy: Steven allegedly branded her “materialistic” for purchasing a Dior bag—even though Lihui claims she frequently showered him with expensive gifts.
3. General Cheapness & Calculation: She described him as overly calculative and impossible to deal with.

Steven’s Counter-Offensive: Enter ChatGPT

Not one to let someone else steal his spotlight, Steven launched a counter-strike on their joint TikTok account, claiming Lihui was painting him in a bad light. According to Steven, the real reason they broke up was because Lihui wanted him to sponsor a luxury Chanel bag (along with paying for literally everything else), and he refused.

When local media outlet Mothership reached out to Steven for a formal comment, Steven didn’t provide a standard PR statement. Instead, he delivered the most peak-2026 response imaginable: he sent them screenshots of his chat history with ChatGPT.

Yes, you read that right. Steven Lim outsourced his relationship counseling to OpenAI.

According to the screenshots, Steven dumped his relationship problems into ChatGPT, asking if his girlfriend’s demand for a Chanel bag was normal. The AI chatbot—acting as Steven’s digital wingman—diagnosed Lihui’s request as a major “red flag” and explicitly recommended that Steven refuse the bag, call out her behavior, and let her walk away if she wasn’t happy.

Armed with artificial intelligence validation, Steven stood his ground. To add a cherry on top of this absurdity, Steven also claimed that Lihui made him feel insecure because she was allegedly “teaching” other women how to flirt.

The Verdict

Forget couples therapy or mature communication. In the year 2026, Singapore’s most iconic internet personality ended his relationship through a chaotic cocktail of TikTok receipts, handbag warfare, and an AI chatbot telling him to dump his girlfriend.

It’s tragic, it’s petty, and it’s undeniably kopi tiam talk for the next month. Rest in peace, Sarah & Steven Love (May 2025 – August 2026). Truly a romance for the history books.
