Singer Lim Young-woong shone as a 'record factory' by surpassing 1.1 billion cumulative streams on Melon with 'IM HERO 2'.
According to Melon, Korea's largest music platform, on the 25th, Lim Young-woong's second full album 'IM HERO 2' surpassed 1.1 billion cumulative streams that day. This achievement comes about eight months after the album's release.

This 1.1 billion stream milestone was the result of all 11 tracks on the album being loved evenly, rather than being skewed toward a single song.
Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong topped the all-time cumulative stream ranking on Melon on the 11th of last month, surpassing BTS.
Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong is scheduled to hold 'IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2' at Goyang Stadium in September.
