Lim Young-woong Sets a Record with Hero Generation: "We'll Be Together for the Next 10 Years, Too"

[Financial News] Goyang Stadium was bathed entirely in sky blue for three days. Singer Lim Young-woong, marking the 10th anniversary of his debut, created another special memory with approximately 95,000 members of Hero Generation and set a record of approximately one million cumulative attendees across his concerts.

According to Mulgogi Music on the 7th, Lim Young-woong held the "2026 Lim Young-woong Concert IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2" at the main stadium of Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province from the 4th to the 6th, meeting approximately 95,000 fans.
Lim Young-woong, who celebrates the 10th anniversary of his debut this year, expressed his deep affection for the fans who have shared his journey. He said, "The 10 years I spent with Hero Generation were truly precious, and I was grateful," adding, "I want to spend the next 10 years with you as well, and I will continue to sing diligently for a very long time."
Including this concert, the cumulative attendance at Lim Young-woong's concerts has reached approximately one million. The figure is especially meaningful because it was achieved together with Hero Generation, who have remained by his side for 10 years.
The concert opened with a VCR capturing Lim Young-woong's past decade, during which he grew with the love of his fans. He raised the energy in the audience from the outset with a newly rearranged version of his debut song "I Hate You," followed by "Love Always Runs Away" and "Grain of Sand."
He then presented a sky-blue music festival for all generations, performing a series of beloved hits including "Sungan-eul Yeongwoncheoreom," "Rainbow," "I Love You (For Real)," and "Not by Stairs, but by Elevator."
Lim Young-woong's signature emotional style was complemented by the spectacular production expected of a large stadium concert. A water screen decorated the stage, while Lim Young-woong rode a mobile vehicle around the expansive venue to move closer to his fans. A turntable lift heightened the emotions of the songs and deepened the audience's immersion.
New songs from the special digital album "IM HERO 10," scheduled for release on the 8th, were also unveiled to fans for the first time. "Baila," the title track "ToTo," "New York," and "Budi Haengbokhaejil Geot" were revealed for the first time, drawing enthusiastic cheers.

During the concert, the VCR "Gourmet World," featuring Lim Young-woong, actors Hyun Bong-sik and Yoon Byung-hee, and comedian Hong Yoon-hwa, added to the laughter. The band's vivid playing, the rich harmonies of the chorus and Kyungbok University choir, and the energetic performances by the dance team filled every part of the stadium stage.
The highlight of the concert was the fireworks and drone show that illuminated the night sky. As drones formed the words "My Love, My Hero Generation" above Goyang Stadium alongside Lim Young-woong's narration, cheers erupted from the audience. It was a scene that seemed to symbolize the 10 years shared by Lim Young-woong and his fans.
Lim Young-woong delivered laughter and emotion with "Warmth," "Left in the Rain," newly rearranged versions of "A bientot," "ULSSIGU," and "Nest," before returning to the stage in response to the fans' enthusiastic encore requests. Together with a 24-member pungmul troupe, he performed "Moise" and kept the venue charged with overwhelming energy until the very end.
After creating memories with approximately one million audience members at his concerts, Lim Young-woong is now opening the next chapter of his 10th anniversary. He will release the special digital album "IM HERO 10" through various music platforms at 6 p.m. on the 8th. The music video for "ToTo," whose lyrics and composition Lim Young-woong participated in personally, will be released at 6:16 p.m. on the 7th.
