Malaysian badminton star Lee Chong Wei responded to Chen: "You beat me first before playing with @jjlin". And Chen replied: "Wow, bro... it's impossible to beat you."
Lin then suggested to Lee: "You teach me to play, while I teach you to sing?"
THE STRAITS TIMES says, Lin was recently nominated for Best Male Singer (Mandarin) for his album Drifter • Like You Do at this year's Golden Melody Awards in August, but lost to Taiwanese rapper Soft Lipa.
