"Do you love them that much?" Lim Young-woong completely disarmed in front of soccer boots... excitement shining behind his sunglasses

[The Financial News] The "master of emotion" on stage turns into nothing but a pure "soccer boy" when he is in front of soccer boots. Singer Lim Young-woong once again proved his unwavering love for the sport, bringing a warm smile to his fans.
On November 10, Lim Young-woong posted recent photos on his own Social Networking Service (SNS), adding no caption other than a single soccer ball emoji. In the released images, he is seen visiting a sports store, gazing at rows of soccer boots and uniforms on display.
What really catches the eye is his casual outfit and overall look. Wearing comfortable jeans paired with sunglasses, he exudes a hip yet laid-back charm. In particular, the faint smile spreading across his lips, as if he has found a pair of boots he really likes, is enough to make viewers' hearts flutter. Many say they can feel his pure passion from the way he makes time to browse soccer gear despite his hectic schedule.
Lim Young-woong's obsession with soccer is already well known in the entertainment world. He is the owner and former top scorer of the amateur KA League team he personally runs, and he recently made his debut as a coach through a television program, further expanding his own "soccer universe." Fans are already excited to see which pitch he will light up next in his new pair of boots.
Netizens who saw the photos reacted enthusiastically, commenting, "After the Daegu concert, you'll be flying around in your new shoes," "Even with sunglasses on, I can see the sweetness in your eyes," and "Our hero who is sincere about both singing and soccer, overflowing with boyish charm."
It seems that in the New Year of 2026 as well, Lim Young-woong's left foot—and his joyful soccer life—will continue under clear skies.
