I Sejin Lee Se-jin (Korean: 이세진; born 9 November 1981), better known by the stage name Lyn (린), is a South Korean singer.[1] She debuted in 2000 and rose to fame with the 2002 single "Have You Ever Been Hurt By Love?".[2] She is best known for ballads and TV soundtrack appearances, including "Back in Time" from 2012's Moon Embracing the Sun, and the award-winning "My Destiny" from 2013's My Love From the Star.[3]
Lyn made her singing debut in 2000 with the album My First Confession, released under her real name, Lee Se-jin. The album was unsuccessful, and Lyn temporarily quit her singing career.[2]
She re-debuted under the stage name Lyn in 2002 with the album Have You Ever Had Heart Broken?, which included her breakthrough single "Have You Ever Been Hurt By Love?" (사랑에 아파 본 적 있나요?).[2] Her next album, 2004's Can U See The Bright, was an even bigger success and spawned the hit single "We Were in Love" (사랑했잖아).[4]
Lyn's next several albums were commercial successes. She released her third album, One and Only Feeling, with the lead single "Ordinary Woman" (보통여자), in 2005.[5] She followed it up with 2006's Misty Memories, an album of remakes of popular South Korean songs from the 1980s and 1990s.[6] In 2007, she released her fourth official album, The Pride of the Morning,[7] which was the second best-selling album of March, according to Music Industry Association of Korea's monthly chart.[8] The album's lead single, "Parting Life" (이별살이), performed well on the Bugs! digital song chart.[9]
In 2008, Lyn collaborated with Shin Hye-sung of the boy band Shinhwa to release the album The Story of the Man and the Woman (그 남자 그 여자 이야기).[10] The following year, she again saw commercial success with her digital single "Charisma" (featuring rapper MC Mong)[11] and "Love.. It's All Lies" (사랑..다 거짓말), the lead single from her fifth album, Let Go, Let In, It's a New Day.[12]
Lyn released her sixth album in two parts, with New Celebration released in 2009 and Candy Train in 2010.[13] "Honey Baby Love" (자기야 여보야 사랑아), the lead single from Candy Train, was considered an upbeat departure from Lyn's trademark sad ballads and was a steady hit on several digital song charts.[14][15] She also released her seventh album in two parts, releasing Metro Sexy 7 in 2011 and Love Fiction in 2012.[16]
In 2012, Lyn sang "Back in Time" (시간을 거슬러) for the soundtrack to the period drama Moon Embracing the Sun. The song reached number one the weekly Gaon Digital Chart,[17] was the best performing soundtrack on the chart for the first half of 2012,[18] and ranked number 20 on the year-end chart,[19] selling over three million copies.[20]
She then sang "My Destiny" for My Love from the Star, for which she won Best Original Soundtrack at the 50th Baeksang Arts Awards in 2014. She is the first artist to win in the category.[21] In 2015, she also sang "Just One Day" for melodrama Mask, followed by "Such Person" with 4MEN's Shin Young Jae for the drama Oh My Venus.[22] In 2016 she sang "With You" for the drama Descendants of the Sun.[23] After that, she sang "Love Story" for the main soundtrack of The Legend of the Blue Sea. In 2018, she collaborated with Hanhae on "LOVE", a song from the soundtrack of Are You Human?.
On 27 October 2015, Lyn's label MUSIC&NEW announced on through an official Facebook post[24] that the singer's contract with the company had ended. She would be continuing promotions under her new individual music label COMPANY919.[25]
Lyn married her longtime boyfriend ISU of MC the Max at Conrad Hotel Seoul on 19 September 2014.[26] On August 23, 2025, Lyn's agency confirmed that the couple had recently divorced.[27]
