'Space Empathy' left viewers with a deep lingering impression through the performances of two musicians who overcame profound growing pains and built their own solid worlds.

The EBS program 'Space Empathy,' broadcast on the 19th, featured Lim Kim and Yoon Da-hye under the keyword "My Voice, My Story," sharing their intense struggles and growth through music while connecting passionately with the audience.

Lim Kim, who returned to 'Space Empathy' for the first time in 13 years, calmly recounted her journey from enduring a long burnout to standing as her complete self. Recalling herself at age 20, she said, "I had no clear picture of what kind of singer I wanted to be." She then shared how she decided to "do whatever I want without any constraints" in an independent state, narrating her rebirth from 'Kim Ye-rim' to the self-directed artist 'Lim Kim.' Continuing, she explained that during her burnout, she waited until she could honestly express what she wanted to say now, vividly unfolding the story of her recently released full album through a live performance after a long wait.

Singing about loneliness and contradictions in an unfamiliar world with "Exit" and "Hello," Lim Kim conveyed her sincere wish: "Even if visuals or styles differ, I hope people feel the real me within my music." She then illuminated the stage with "Through the Glow," which depicted a new beginning beyond others' gazes and rules. Responding to encores with her hit song "All Right," she completed a touching moment connecting past and present as the audience joined in a powerful sing-along.

Next, irreplaceable R&B vocalist Yoon Da-hye took the stage. Having performed with multiple groups, Yoon Da-hye expressed that she felt a thirst for music she created herself. "There is no place left to retreat," she said, adding that she made her debut solo album 'King of Ants' with the mindset that time does not wait for her. Regarding how the music born from a note written during a period of deep wandering—"Some nights are longer than life itself"—eventually led to winning the Korean Music Awards, she shared her emotional reflection: "It felt like being officially recognized that I was right."

Yoon Da-hye then performed title track 'King of Ants' followed by 'White Tee,' 'Friends,' and more, showcasing her unique R&B sensibility. Particularly moved by a story from an audience member who said the included track "She Is a Goldfish Finger" felt like a prescription for herself, Yoon Da-hye read it aloud directly. She confessed, "It's amazing that thoughts I thought were solely mine have become your stories. I hope we can continue to be sources of comfort for each other in the future," leaving the audience deeply moved. Finally, she reversed the atmosphere with her last song 'Love Power Warrior,' promising never to betray the audience and delivering a thrilling catharsis.

Meanwhile, next week's broadcast is expected to feature Lim Mi-jeong and Yong Lee & The Returnees, generating anticipation.
