[Financial News] Singer Lim Young-woong, who is greatly loved by fans for his vocal skills and good deeds, will appear in a new SBS variety show.
According to the entertainment industry on the 23rd, SBS is preparing a new variety show featuring Lim Young-woong. However, the program title and schedule are yet to be decided. 
Earlier that day, a media outlet reported that the new SBS variety show 'Island Village Hero', starring Lim Young-woong, has been confirmed as the follow-up to 'Whenever Possible'.
'Island Village Hero' is said to be a travel variety show where Lim Young-woong stays on an island with close friends and shares friendship. Lim Young-woong, who has announced the release of a regular album this year, is receiving high expectations from fans for this album.
Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong and the country's largest fan club 'Hero Era' are famous for practicing donation and volunteering.
In fact, 'Hero Era' recently donated 156,756,000 won (cash 140,056,000 won, goods 16,700,000 won) to neighbors in need in celebration of Lim Young-woong's 34th birthday (Woongtan Day, June 16). Over the past five years, 'Hero Era' has donated a whopping 1,168,340,000 won on Lim Young-woong's birthday or directly volunteered, adding meaning to the birthday.
Recently, Lim Young-woong also donated 200 million won in the name of the fan club 'Hero Era' to help victims and communities affected by heavy rain. Indeed, like the singer, like the fans.
'Hero Era' has an internal guideline to participate in sharing, as Lim Young-woong, known as the 'Donation Angel', emphasizes donation and volunteering with neighbors in need rather than birthday gifts from fans. Since 2021, Lim Young-woong has not received any gifts from fans, only accepting handwritten letters, and it is known that he emphasizes practicing sharing with fans.
