Lim Young-woong's Melon digital music has surpassed 6.9 billion cumulative views

Singer Lim Young-woong has reached the gold club by exceeding 6.9 billion cumulative streams of music released on Melon, and is enjoying the highest stock price as expected of a music powerhouse.

On the 26th of last month, Kakao Entertainment announced that music platform Melon's 'Melon Hall' would open this afternoon. 'Melon Hall of Fame' is a space of honor that celebrates the Melon records of domestic and foreign artists and domestically released albums.

First, a total of 91 teams entered the 'Artist Category (Billions Club)', which celebrates artists who have achieved more than 1 billion cumulative streams of music released on Melon.

BTS recorded a cumulative 12.3 billion streams and was the only group to enter the 'Diamond Club', which only artists with more than 10 billion views can enter.

IU, Lim Young-woong, and the group 'EXO' are in the 'Gold Club' with more than 5 billion views. 19 teams, including Seventeen, Blackpink, Red Velvet, Heo Gak, Sung Si-kyung, and Park Hyo-shin, entered the 'Silver Club' between 2 and 5 billion won.

In particular, Lim Young-woong has already surpassed the Gold Club by surpassing 6.9 billion streams as of the 27th, and is running at lightning speed to achieve the Billions Club.

1st place BTS with 12.2 billion views, 2nd place EXO with 8 billion views, 3rd place IU with 7.7 billion views, 4th place Lim Young-woong with 6.9 billion views (daily increase of about 7.53 million views), reaching the 10 billion club when calculated by daily increase. It is expected that this will be achieved within about 1 year and 2 months.
