Singer Lim Young-woong has launched a donation initiative ahead of his return to his main career.

The Korea Social Welfare Association (Chairman Yoon Yeojun) announced on the 24th that Lim Young-woong, together with his agency Fish Music, donated a total of 200 million won in the name of his fan club 'Young-hoong Era' to help residents affected by recent heavy rains in southern regions.

The donation will be used through the Korea Social Welfare Association's ongoing 'Special Fundraising for 2026 Rainfall Damage' to provide emergency relief and temporary housing support, as well as disaster recovery and daily life restoration for displaced persons in Geoje and Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, and other southern regions. In Geoje and Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, and other southern areas, consecutive damage such as flooded homes and roads due to the recent heavy rains has caused many residents to struggle with their daily lives.

Lim Young-woong expressed his sorrow for neighbors who have lost precious things due to sudden rain and are spending anxious times, and included in the donation his wish that affected residents regain a peaceful daily life as soon as possible.

Since 2021, Lim Young-woong has consistently made donations on birthdays, holidays, and every time disasters or calamities occur. Including this latest donation, the cumulative amount donated through the Korea Social Welfare Association alone reaches 2.5 billion won. Adding the 200th million won directly delivered to Korea University Medical Center for treatment costs of low-income and vulnerable patients on his birthday this year, the total cumulative donations amount to 2.7 billion won.

Earlier, during the large-scale forest fires in Yeongnam region in 2025, Lim Young-woong and Fish Music donated 400 million won for disaster recovery and support of displaced persons, followed by the fan club 'Young-hoong Era' raising 600 million won through voluntary fundraising to help affected residents restore their daily lives.

Furthermore, in Geoje, the area hit by this rainfall damage, 'Young-hoong Era Geoje' has delivered donations to local welfare foundations to commemorate Lim Young-woong's 10th debut anniversary, with fans across the country participating in sharing through their own unique ways.

Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong will hold a solo concert titled 'IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2 (아임 히어로 - 더 스타디움 2)' from September 4 to 6 at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi-do. He will also release a special digital album 'IM HERO 10 (아임 히어로 10)' on September 8. Through sharing, performances, and new music, Lim Young-woong plans to reflect with fans on the meaning of the past 10 years.
