Lyn opens up about divorce as mother shares heartfelt reaction

Singer Lyn calmly steadied her heart while listening to her mother's honest feelings regarding her divorce.

In the episode of the SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy' broadcast on the 16th, the lives of Lyn and her mother as they traveled to Sokcho were revealed. After finishing a tour of famous restaurants, Lyn took her mother to a hotel with an ocean view and then gifted her a car camping trip she had prepared herself. The choice drew laughter when her mother reacted honestly, saying, "It's a bit much," as it was quite different from the hotel she had expected.

However, the conversation between the two became much more serious after they prepared for the car camping.

Lyn checked on her mother's feelings by mentioning the public's recent concerns surrounding her. During her first appearance on 'My Little Old Boy,' Lyn's habit of spending time knitting in the bathroom was revealed, and she remarked, "People were worrying a lot about my emotional state," adding, "Please don't worry too much about me being in the bathroom."

In response, her mother confessed, "People keep asking me why you are being like that."

Lyn then cautiously asked, "Do you have any hard feelings toward me?" After hesitating for a moment, her mother finally brought up the topic of her daughter's divorce.

Her mother began by saying, "You suddenly came to me saying you were getting a divorce."

She continued, expressing her complex emotions: "Even if divorce is common these days, a parent's heart doesn't feel that way. It would be good if you lived well, but isn't it something that just happens? Still, I wonder how much you must have suffered to make such a choice..."

It was a moment that revealed both the heart of a parent who found it difficult to easily accept their child's choice and the heart of a mother who ultimately had no choice but to understand her daughter's pain.

After listening quietly to her mother's words, Lyn replied, "I will live even better."

Though it was a short sentence, it contained her determination to rebuild her life following the divorce.

The conversation between the mother and daughter naturally led to Lyn's song, "Mother's Dream." This song, which her mother loves most, had previously garnered attention because Lyn shed tears while singing it herself.

Lyn revealed that while writing the lyrics, she had asked her mother, "What is your dream?"

Her mother had replied, "That you all stay healthy and happy," and Lyn recalled, "It was heartbreaking to realize that my mother's dream is my happiness."

Realizing that her mother's greatest dream was her own happiness, Lyn focused on her mother's health that day. She checked her mother's condition closely, asking, "You have to be healthy. When are you going to the hospital next?"

There was another concern for her mother: the revelation that she had suffered from liver cirrhosis.

Lyn said, "It was a situation where we had to be careful because it could turn into liver cancer if it got worse, so I'm glad we found out quickly." She then shared her feelings from that time, saying, "Back then, while following my mom to the hospital, I couldn't even imagine her being sick, so I was so flustered when those days actually came."

She expressed her sincere wish, saying, "I just want Mom to be healthy."

On this day, the conversation between Lyn and her mother went beyond a personal event like divorce and showed the process of a family accepting each other's wounds. While her daughter's divorce was a choice that was difficult for her mother to easily understand, the episode also captured how she ultimately sought to respect her daughter's life by considering the immense pain behind it.

Lyn, too, rather than making excuses for her choice, answered with the words, "I will live even better." It was a statement suggesting that while she cannot turn back the past, she will take responsibility for her choice through her future life.

Ultimately, the trip to Sokcho was not just a simple mother-daughter trip. It was a time for the mother, who worried about her daughter's divorce, and the daughter, who worried about her mother's health, to confirm each other's feelings. In their own ways, the two embraced each other's wounds and moved forward toward their daily lives again.
