During a recent taping, the two visited a trendy mugwort moxibustion spa to catch up, discussing fellow singers born in 1981 who have dominated the music industry. They looked back on the exceptionally talented lineup of artists born in 1981—including Park Hyo-shin, Gummy, Lee Young-hyun, Kim Tae-woo, Hwanhee, and Yoon Mi-rae—and named who they each thought was the “best singer born in ’81.” They added to the fun by attempting an impromptu phone call to one of their fellow singers on the spot, sparking a heated debate over the “vocal prowess rankings for those born in ’81.” Later, at a karaoke bar they visited, the two checked the rankings of their own songs on the popular charts. After a brief moment of surprise at the unexpected results, they launched into a full-fledged singing showdown. Not only did they swap songs to sing each other’s tracks, but they also delivered a rare, high-quality duet performance that exceeded the studio audience’s expectations. In particular, the episode featured a conversation about their feelings following marriage and divorce. When K.Will confided that he lacked the courage to start a family, Lyn shared her thoughts, saying, “I chose to get a divorce, but I do recommend marriage.” Lin recalled, “It was a marriage filled with many happy and beautiful moments,” but also candidly shared her complex feelings, saying, “After the divorce, it felt like I had lost a very close friend.” Lin and Lee Soo were married in 2014 and remained a couple for 11 years before announcing their separation in 2025. Lee Soo debuted in 2002 as a member of MC the Max, while Lin has enjoyed steady popularity since her 2000 debut, releasing numerous ballad hits such as “I Loved You” and “Back in Time.” This episode of “My Ugly Duckling,” in which Lin reveals her innermost thoughts, will air on the 5th at 9 p.m.
