The stage video of singer Lim Young-woong's life-defining song "Traitor" has reached 16 million views.

As of May 7, the stage video of "Traitor" performed by Lim Young-woong at the finals of TV Chosun's "Tomorrow is Mr. Trot" surpassed 16 million views on YouTube.

The video captures the "Life Song Mission" stage in the second round of the finals, where the final seven contestants of "Mr. Trot" competed. At the time, Lim Young-woong chose "Traitor" by Do Sung, focusing on conveying sincerity rather than flashy technique. The stage immediately sparked explosive reactions upon its release.

For Lim Young-woong, "Traitor" is a song with meaning beyond that of a mere competition piece. Before taking the stage, Lim revealed the reason for his song choice, saying it was a song his father, who passed away early, often sang to his mother while he was still alive, evoking deep emotion. The fact that the day of the finals coincidentally marked the anniversary of his father's death further added to the moving atmosphere.

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, long 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, stating, "It was a stage that showed how much strength Lim Young-woong possesses as a vocalist," and "He poured out his own 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 claimed the ultimate honor of "True (Jin)" in "Mr. Trot."
