A video titled 'Christmas Mission Distributing Gifts to Citizens' was posted on singer Lim Young-woong's channel and surpassed 1 million views as of the 30th.
In the video, Lim Young-woong was given the mission to 'become Santa Claus and hand out gifts' for Christmas.
Lim Young-woong, wearing a Santa suit and a white beard, walked around the streets of Hongdae alone, trying to get used to it, but citizens quickly noticed. Then Lim Young-woong came back and was embarrassed, saying, "I've already been caught. Just walking around gets me caught."
Afterwards, they additionally wore sunglasses and began distributing gifts to citizens. He was enjoying it more and more, and he even seemed to have the time to ask who he thought he was. In particular, he joked, "I like Lim Young-woong. I hear a lot of people say that I look like Lim Young-woong," making him burst into laughter.
When Lim Young-woong revealed his identity, the citizens cheered and loved it.
Moreover, Lim Young-woong showed off his dancing skills as good as that of an idol by dancing to the group Ive's 'After LIKE', and the citizens responded enthusiastically.
Lastly, Lim Young-woong said, “I came here to share this gift with you all. I hope you have a warm end-of-year and always be healthy and happy.”
Meanwhile, last year, Lim Young-woong successfully completed a national concert tour and even had encore performances in Seoul and Busan at the end of the year.
The encore performance was released on VOD on TVING on the 14th. Lim Young-woong is planning a concert at the Dolby Theater in LA, USA on February 11th and 12th, and the theatrical version of the performance will also be released at CGV in March.
