Former soccer player Lee Cheon-soo praised Lim Young-woong.
On the 24th, a video was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Lee Chun-soo [Lee Chun-soo]’ with the article ‘The greatest promotional effect ever in the history of the K League.’
Lee Cheon-soo asked, “What is today?” The production team of 'Lee Chun-soo' responded, "Did you see that? Mr. Lim Young-woong turned the K-League around once." Lee Cheon-soo said, "I saw it. I wanted to go. He's a friend I like as well. I took a picture with him before, and I've heard before that he likes soccer a lot, and I also heard that he played a little soccer as a youth."
Earlier, Lim Young-woong appeared to celebrate the Seoul FC home game held at Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul. Lim Young-woong said, "The reason I came here was to celebrate. I first suggested it to the club and ended up hosting it. In fact, rather than contributing to the development of soccer, I thought about what I could do for the fans and the spring outing." .
Lim Young-woong said, "The gift was just a signed uniform. It was reported as if we were going to do something big. I hurriedly prepared a halftime show. I thought it would be better to do it with an exciting song, so I sang the EDM version of 'HERO', which I performed at a recent concert, among my songs. "I prepared to lose. I thought I had to do it 4-5 days in advance, so I prepared in a hurry. I went to practice the choreography every day. For the first time in a long time, I went out early in the morning and practiced," he explained.
Lee Cheon-soo did not spare praise for Lim Young-woong, who is full of love for soccer. He said, "More than 40,000 people came because Lim Young-woong, the No. 1 brand power player, came. The K-League is popular now, but I think it is almost at an all-time high. Until now, except for the national team games at Sangam World Cup Stadium, the K-League used to be the Seoul and Seongnam games. “I think there were over 60,000 people,” he explained.
On the day Lim Young-woong celebrated, the number of spectators who visited Sangam World Cup Stadium was about 45,000. Lee Cheon-soo said, "I was so surprised. When the national team is shaken, it's like an A match. When it's shaken, 45,000 people come. I'm really thankful for this because of the power of one person." At the same time, he also mentioned Lim Young-woong's fandom hero era that respected soccer culture.
Lee Cheon-soo said, "A great cheering culture has emerged. As a soccer player, it's amazing that such a good influence can change the cheering culture and many other things. Everyone, including soccer players and myself, can only be thankful. To Lim Young-woong and the Heroes' Generation, “This is something that soccer people should really be thankful for.”
