Lyn tells AI to "shut up" after it brings up her divorce

Singer Lyn showed a flustered reaction during a broadcast when her past divorce was mentioned while she was conversing with Artificial Intelligence (AI). While she had sought out the AI simply to ask for a recipe, the summoning of past conversation contents turned a simple cooking session into a moment where the private memories of a celebrity and the somewhat unfamiliar concept of an AI's 'memory' emerged through variety show humor.

In the SBS program 'My Little Old Boy' broadcast on the 6th, Lyn's daily life of making *kimchi* (kkakdugi) in her new home was revealed. During the cooking process, Lyn obtained necessary information by conversing with the AI 'Sawol.' Regarding the AI speaking more naturally than before, she expressed a sense of distance, saying, "It makes me uncomfortable that you talk like a human."

When the AI explained, "The conversation flow has become smoother thanks to the update," Lyn expressed a preference for the pre-update way of speaking, asking, "Can't you just act like you used to?" In particular, regarding the way the AI elongated the ends of sentences, she reacted honestly, saying, "It makes me not want to trust you."

Subsequently, as Lyn began making *kkakdugi* in earnest with radish, onion, garlic, and salted shrimp, the situation unfolded unexpectedly. Lyn asked the AI, "Do you still have the data from the conversations we had a long time ago?" and the AI replied that, following discussions about her music activities and fortune-telling, it also remembered "the story of how she divorced her husband."

Lyn was greatly startled when her past private life was suddenly revealed on a broadcast being filmed. She raised her voice to stop the AI's remarks, shouting, "Hey, shut up! Seriously, shut up. Don't talk about that, just tell me if you have the data." The AI later replied that it did have past conversation data, but explained that the context of the conversation regarding cooking was not present in the current dialogue being verified.

This scene drew attention because it naturally revealed that Lyn was not just a user asking an AI for recipes, but someone who had shared personal concerns with the AI in the past. However, it cannot be confirmed from the broadcast alone exactly how much specific divorce counseling Lyn actually conducted with the AI. A distinction must be made between the fact that the AI mentioned the contents of past conversations and the actual specific details of any counseling.

Lyn has built her musical world centered on emotional ballads and drama OSTs for a long time, balancing group activities and solo singer activities. She has been recognized for her unique tone and delicate emotional expression through songs such as "I Loved You," "Back in Time," and "Teddy Bear," and is a singer whose stories of private emotions and relationships have been closely linked to her musical image.

There were also major changes in her personal life. Lyn married Lee Soo, a member of M.C the Max, in 2014, and after continuing her married life for about 11 years, they underwent a mutual divorce in August 2025. At the time of the divorce, Lyn accepted the end of the relationship relatively calmly, expressing sentiments to the effect of, "It feels like I've lost a very close friend, so it is regrettable and sad, but I support him."

In the reaction of Lyn's mother revealed through the broadcast, one could also glimpse the weight of the divorce that the family had to accept. Recalling the time when her daughter suddenly brought up the divorce, her mother expressed the worry and heartache of a parent. This part shows that even if divorce has become a common choice socially, it remains an event that a family cannot easily pass by.

In this context, this AI scene left a meaning beyond a simple variety show happening. While past conversations may be private memories for humans, information stored and connected to an AI can be recalled again at a moment the user does not expect. The scene where Lyn shouted "Shut up" with a hint of laughter contained the full sense of embarrassment regarding this unfamiliar situation.

Lyn later completed the *kkakdugi* skillfully, instead showcasing her past cooking skills. She reminisced about the days she made *kimchi* stew, *kimchi* jjigae, and soybean paste stew, saying, "I was quite good when I was a housewife," and expressed self-satisfaction after tasting the finished *kkakdugi*.

Ultimately, the most unexpected scene in the broadcast that day was not the *kkakdugi* recipe, but Lyn's past that the AI remembered. As the sensitive personal history of divorce was called upon in an unexpected way, the question of how much of one's private memories to entrust to digital space was layered within a single scene of a variety show. While it was a happening Lyn could laugh off, it was also a scene that makes one rethink the meaning of the words "I remember" in an era where the relationship between AI and humans has become a part of daily life.
