Singer Lim Young-woong celebrated the 6th anniversary of his rise to "Mr. Trot" Jin (眞).
Lim Young-woong has been active for six years since he was selected as the first guest with 1.37 million votes in a text message vote on TV Chosun's "Tomorrow is Mr. Trot" on March 14, 2020. In the process, he set a new record in the history of popular music beyond trot stars, establishing himself as a true hero of the Republic of Korea.
Lim Young-woong achieved unrivaled results in music and records. Cumulative streaming on Melon, Korea's largest music platform, exceeded about 13.5 billion times, ranking first among all singers. The first full-length album "IM HERO" sold 1.1 million copies initially, setting a record for a solo artist at the time. In addition, he tried a new way by omitting the CD from his second album "IM HERO 2 (I'm Hero 2)" and composing the package only with "Album Book". The decision was introduced in consideration of reducing the economic burden on fans and protecting the environment.
It was also popular in performances and screens. He performed a total of 81 performances, and all episodes were sold out. The cumulative audience reached 911,148. I'm Hero the Stadium, a live performance film released in 2024, recorded a cumulative audience of 350,000, ranking first among all live performance films of all time.
Lim Young-woong also received attention from awards and donations. He won 125 trophies at various award ceremonies. The total amount of known donations is more than 3.6 billion won, and his fan club "Hero Generation" also continued to donate in a relay, showing the good influence of the fandom.
Lim Young-woong, who said six years ago, "I will become Lim Young-woong who I trust and go." Now this pledge has become a reality. Expectations are higher for Lim Young-woong's hero moves in the future.
