[Financial News] On the morning of Lunar New Year 2026, could there be a greater gift for Hero Generation? Singer Lim Young-woong bathed his fans’ holiday in his signature sky blue with a heartfelt New Year’s message.
On the 13th, Lim Young-woong posted a video titled "Happy New Year" on his YouTube channel. Appearing not as the "Hero" on a glamorous stage, but as "our Young-woong," warm and approachable, he offered a few kind words that made fans feel as if spring had already arrived.
In the video, Lim Young-woong began by saying, "The Lunar New Year holidays of 2026 are already upon us." He went on, "I hope you all have a wonderful Lunar New Year break, spend harmonious time with your families, and enjoy lots of delicious food," gently conveying his sincere wishes.
In particular, his trademark closing line, "Happy New Year. Geonhaeng!" blended with the relaxed holiday mood and is being seen as a comfort more precious to Hero Generation than the best New Year’s cash gift.
Lim Young-woong recently wrapped up his 2026 nationwide tour concert "IM HERO" to great acclaim, covering all of Korea in waves of sky blue.
This Lunar New Year greeting, delivered before the afterglow of the tour had even faded, once again proved his desire to stay closely connected with fans and his deep affection for them.
Even while on a break, his sights are set higher. He is already preparing for "IM HERO Stadium 2," which will be held this September at the main stadium of Goyang Stadium.
Having already conquered major venues such as Gocheok Sky Dome and the Sangam area, anticipation is mounting over what kind of "miraculous stage" Lim Young-woong will present on an autumn day.
Just like his gentle voice welcoming the New Year, the journey of Lim Young-woong and Hero Generation in 2026 is expected to shine brighter than ever.
