Looking for an integral operator with eigenvalues $n+\frac{1}{n^2}$

We have the following integral operator $$ Ku(t)=\int_0^1 G(t,s)\ u(s)\ ds,\quad u\in L^2[0,1], $$
where $$G(t,s)= \begin{cases} s(1-t)& 0\leq s\leq t\leq 1\\ t(1-s)& 0\leq t\leq s\leq 1 \end{cases}$$ The eingenvalues of $K$ are $$\lambda_n=\frac{1}{\pi^2 n^2}, \quad n=1,2,3,\ldots$$ My question is as follows. Can we find an operator, say $K'$, related to this (with a sum?) such that its eigenvalues are $n+\frac{1}{\pi^2 n^2}$?

Thank you.
