Singer Lyn and MC The Max's Lee Soo have chosen to divorce after 11 years of marriage. Lyn, who stood by Lee during the controversy surrounding his involvement in underage prostitution prior to their marriage, is now facing this news with even greater shock.
On the 22nd, the agency 325E&C stated, "Lyn and Lee Soo have agreed to walk their separate paths after sufficient conversation, and they are currently in the process of finalizing their divorce. This decision is not due to any wrongdoing by either party but is a result of an amicable agreement." They added, "Although the two are parting as a married couple, they will maintain their relationship as musical colleagues."
Lyn and Lee Soo, who are the same age, got married in 2014. They gained the nickname "musician couple" and even released a duet album together, working as musical partners. However, their marriage was not smooth. Lee Soo's past, where he was given a deferred prosecution in 2009 for charges of underage prostitution, followed them like a shadow.
The aftermath also affected Lyn. She faced public criticism directed at her husband and sometimes stepped forward to refute it. In a debate with an internet user in 2019, she stated, "While prostitution is a fact, there is also a lot of false information," defending her husband. Recently, she revealed in a YouTube interview, "I received the finger-pointing instead of my husband. I felt sorry but, on one hand, I felt more sorry."
Until last year, the couple expressed affection for one another. On their 9th anniversary, they commemorated the occasion together at a restaurant, reminiscing about the past, and on their 10th anniversary, they showcased their harmony by releasing a duet album titled 'Friend Lyn.' However, they ultimately chose to divorce.
Although legally no longer a couple, Lyn and Lee Soo will continue to maintain their musical connection. The agency announced, "They will continue to perform on their respective stages in the future." In fact, the two are still part of the same agency, and the performances scheduled for this year will proceed as planned.
Despite having endured controversy together since before their marriage, Lyn has, after many years, finally laid down the burdens of marital life. Now, the two will remain only as musical colleagues, not as a couple.
