Lyn released her third album, The Pride of the Morning, on 7 March 2007, and sold 15,358 copies in that month, placing second in the Music Industry Association of Korea's monthly chart.[3] Again, it was a success and was once again reclaim her title as one of the best R&B female singer. Overall her album sold 25,171 copies. Lyn then released more albums afterwards, and did not become very successful, but in 2009 she made a comeback with her 5th album called 'Let Go, Let In, It's a New Day'.[4][5] In early 2012, she released her 7th album title 'Love Fiction'.[6]
