The Asia Brand Research Institute announced on the 25th that Lim Young-woong ranked first in the 'K-Brand Index' advertising model category.
This evaluation was conducted by combining various data such as trends, media, social, positive and negative, activation, community, and AI index. This is the result of analyzing 4,8963,133 online big data accumulated from January 1st to December 31st, 2025 for the top 30 people in portal site search volume.
Lim defeated competitors such as IU, Park Bo-gum, Jang Won-young, Yoo Jae-suk, Jung Kook, Byun Woo-suk, V, Karina, and Lee Jun-ho. The institute explained that the results show that Lim Young-woong's brand value is at the top in all fields.

The Asian Brand Research Institute analyzed, "The result is that the firepower of the fandom, which has a wide range of popularity and powerful purchasing power across all generations, is reflected in the brand value in three dimensions." Lim Young-woong is contributing to the increase in sales by working as an advertising model in various industries such as finance, distribution, and home appliances.
In particular, the support of the fandom 'Hero Generation' is creating a 'Lim Young-woong effect' that goes beyond simple recognition and leads to actual consumption. The institute predicted that Lim Young-woong's performance will continue in 2026. Brand experts are paying attention to Lim Young-woong's future moves, saying, "The name Lim Young-woong itself has become a powerful content and symbol of trust."
