The video of Lim Young-woong's performance of "Traitor" at the finals of TV Chosun's "Tomorrow is Mr. Trot" surpassed 16 million YouTube views as of May 7.

The video captures the finals' second round, the "Life Song Mission," performed by the final seven contestants of "Mr. Trot."

For Lim Young-woong, "Traitor" is a song with meaning beyond that of a mere competition piece. Before taking the stage, Lim revealed his reason for choosing the song, stating, "It is a song my father, who passed away early for heaven, often sang to my mother while he was alive," evoking deep emotion. The emotional impact was further heightened when it was revealed that the day of the finals coincidentally marked the anniversary of his father's passing.

On stage, Lim Young-woong began singing with a restrained voice rather than being overwhelmed by emotion. However, as the song progressed, the longing and tenderness for his father, which had been buried deep within his heart, flowed through the melody. Especially during the interlude, his expression seemed to be choked with emotion, and the tears shown at the end of the song moved the hearts of viewers.

The judges also praised the performance, saying, "It was a stage that showed how much strength Lim Young-woong has as a vocalist," and "He poured out his sensibility and displayed his true worth."

Through this performance, Lim Young-woong demonstrated overwhelming skill, recording the highest master score of 100 points, and ultimately secured the honor of being the final "True" (Jin) of "Mr. Trot."
