[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Singer and fashion designer Lim Sang-ah drew attention by expressing her deep affection for her daughter Olivia and showing gratitude to her ex-husband.


Lim Sang-ah appeared alongside Kim So-yeon, the CEO of her agency, on the SKY·KBS variety show 'Sumi Mountain Lodge' aired on the 1st.


When the two came down to the restaurant, they were moved by the carefully prepared meal. In particular, Lim Sang-ah repeatedly praised the taste of the beef soup with rice, which she had wanted to eat. Kim So-yeon, who wanted spring vegetables, also reacted by saying "It's so delicious" when spring cabbage salad was served.


When Kim Soo-mi asked about her hometown, Lim Sang-ah explained, "It's Seoul. My father is from Jeolla Province. My mother is from Gyeongsang Province, but I learned all the Jeolla Province dishes for my father."


Then Kim Soo-mi said, "There is no spring cabbage in the U.S.," and Lim Sang-ah said she was seeing it for the first time as well. At this time, Lim Sang-ah mentioned her 17-year-old daughter Olivia, saying, "Olivia is good at making salads." She continued to boast about her daughter, saying, "(My daughter) likes food, so she makes kimchi and tofu. She even cooks doenjang jjigae right on time."


Jung Eun-ji asked, "Didn't she come to Korea together?" and Lim Sang-ah replied, "She went to school." Looking at Jung Eun-ji, Lim Sang-ah asked, "Aren't you someone who appeared in a drama?" After learning that Jung Eun-ji appeared in 'Reply 1997,' Lim Sang-ah showed a ‘true fan’ reaction, saying, "I'm so glad. I feel like crying. I've watched it five times," which brought laughter.


Lim Sang-ah also expressed her affection for Olivia, saying, "Eating beef soup with rice keeps reminding me of my daughter." When asked if she thought of her husband, she said, "My husband is doing well with his beautiful new wife," and added, "We divorced when Olivia was eight. My ex-husband remarried two years after the divorce. Olivia also has a (half) sibling. They are expecting a second child in May."


Lim Sang-ah revealed that she maintains a good relationship with her ex-husband even after the divorce, saying, "My ex-husband's daughter also often comes to our house. I'm very grateful to my ex-husband because it's good for Olivia to have a sibling."


Kim So-yeon added, "(Lim Sang-ah) even spends Thanksgiving with her ex-mother-in-law," and as Lim Sang-ah’s ‘cool’ story continued, Park Myung-soo sighed, saying, "It's complicated, so I can't make a comment," which caused laughter.
