Singer Lyn and Lee Soo have faced divorce after 11 years of marriage. It has been revealed that this is not due to any wrongdoing or liability, while an anecdote about Lyn, who was willing to resort to 'physical confrontation' to protect Lee Soo, has come to light.
Lee Soo received a deferred indictment in 2009 for charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution. At that time, Lee Soo acknowledged the act of solicitation but claimed he did not know the other party was a minor, leading to controversy. Due to the allegations of soliciting a minor for prostitution, not only did Lee Soo have to halt his activities with the group MC the Max, but his individual endeavors were also put on hold for a long time.
The controversy over 'soliciting a minor for prostitution' also affected the marriage of Lyn and Lee Soo five years later in 2014. Whenever news of Lee Soo and Lyn was reported, the label of 'soliciting a minor for prostitution' followed them, and ultimately, Lyn exploded after five years of marriage in 2019.
At that time, Lyn revealed a photo of a bracelet worth 8 million won that she gifted to Lee Soo on Valentine's Day, and an internet user mentioned the minor prostitution controversy in a comment. In response, Lyn wrote, "While solicitation was a fact, many falsehoods circulated around it." In particular, when there was a comment saying, "the crime is severe," Lyn replied, "I'm really losing it. The fact is I'll let you know when I see your face," which escalated into the 'physical confrontation' controversy.
Lyn defended and supported Lee Soo. In January, while appearing on the YouTube channel 'PDC by PDC', Lyn mentioned, "I don't think I have a good image. Even when I'm feeling good, people say it doesn't seem real. I've been misunderstood as intentionally pretending to be cheerful and labeled as insincere," while addressing various controversies.
When asked, "It seems you may have had a harder time due to the distortion of expression after getting married," Lyn replied, "At that time, I was a very good target. If I posted anything on social media, articles like that would come out. Because of that, I became scared to express something," adding, "There were also comments saying, 'Just don't use social media.' But there was a strange stubbornness that I just wanted to document myself, even if my fans would see it. It made my husband uncomfortable and feel sorry for me while I was taking all the hits. That made me feel sorry instead. If I stay quiet, I'm fine, but I just end up creating a scandal. I just wanted to say that what isn't right isn't right, but looking back now, I wanted to win the fight."
Lyn particularly noted, "I don't think it was helpful for either my husband or me. Now I realize that it was wrong, and I've learned to pause a bit and know how to stay quiet. I've come to understand that this is what time can resolve, and my heart has become more at ease."
Up until early this year, Lyn had been defending and supporting her husband while reflecting on her actions. However, about seven months after the video was released, the news of their divorce sparked disappointment.
The agency stated, "Lyn and Lee Soo have agreed to part ways based on ample communication and mutual respect, and they are currently finalizing their divorce process. This is not the result of any wrongdoing or liability from either party and is a decision made under amicable agreement."
