Lim told USA TODAY post-victory,
“It was awesome and such a fun run,”
He added,
"Darci Lynne deserved it. She can sing, she can do comedy, all with her mouth closed. That's almost like me doing magic without my hands. … And she sang opera, for God’s sake. Obviously, I’m thankful for (the superfans) voting me through and I couldn't be happier.”
Terry Crews, the judge of the show had an up-close spot for Lim’s winning routine in last week's show. The judge was spellbound by the amazing card trick of Lim.

He told USA today,
“He’s incredible, I was trying to catch what he was doing. I was watching cards disappear in his bare hands and I was like, ‘What in the world?’ You know it’s a trick, but he was fooling me every time.”
Shin formerly didn’t want to compete in the special edition of the NBC's show. He wanted to take a much-needed break after bagging the 13th season win but eventually decided to give it a shot.
