Lim Young-woong, No. 1 male trot singer with child-like charm

Lim Young-woong took first place in ‘Male trot singer with child-like charm.’

From March 10th to March 16th, Ten Asia conducted a survey on the Top Ten Ten Asia website under the topic, 'Which male trot singer has the pure charm of a child?'

Lim Young-woong came in first place in that vote. On March 1st, Lim Young-woong's live concert movie 'I'm Hero the Final' was released. This film captures the emotions of the finale of Lim Young-woong's encore concert of 'IM HERO', which heated up Gocheok Sky Dome in the winter of 2022. Lim Young-woong has a fandom of a wide age range, so much so that it can be said to cover people from their teens to those in their 90s. The delicate emotional line and broad musical spectrum based on solid singing ability played a decisive role in gaining the popularity that it has now. The live performance film has been confirmed to be released in mid-April in four countries: Malaysia, Hong Kong, the United States, and Thailand.

Youngtak took second place. Young Tak debuted in 2007 with ‘I Love You’. He ranked second in TV Chosun's 'Mr. Trot'. He released hit songs such as ‘Why are you out there’ and ‘Jjiniya’. From February 25 to March 9, Young Tak's offline pop-up store 'YOUNGTAK POP-UP STORE 'TAKs STUDIO (hereinafter referred to as 'TAKs Studio')' was held in the agency space on the first basement floor of The Hyundai Seoul located in Yeouido. This pop-up store is the largest offline pop-up store held for a solo singer, and was planned with the concept of inviting fans to Young Tak's work space with the theme of 'Young Tak's hobby space'.

Next, Seong-Hoon Ahn ranked 3rd. Seong-Hoon Ahn took first place in TV Chosun's 'Mr. Trot 2 - The Beginning of a New Legend'. In the finals, Seong-Hoon Ahn thrilled people by showing off his outstanding singing skills with Patti Kim's 'You Are My Friend', a song dedicated to the fans who came to him without forgetting when he gave up being a singer to make a living. Seong-Hoon Ahn recorded a total master score of 1288 points, 700 points in online cheering votes, and 1500 points in real-time text voting, for a total of 3488 points.
