‘King of YouTube’ Lim Young-woong ranked 1st among male solo singers

Singer Lim Young-woong ranked first as a male solo singer among the top 4 popular artists on YouTube.

According to YouTube music charts and statistics on the 7th, he ranked 4th among YouTube Korea's most popular artists last week (February 24 - March 2). It appeared on the charts 161 times and was viewed 6.49 million times.

Meanwhile, 'I'm Hero the Final', which was released on the 1st, is a film that contains the live performance of Lim Young-woong's national tour encore concert 'I'm Hero (IM HERO)' held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul in December last year. It contains various aspects of Lim Young-woong that have not been seen before, including behind-the-scenes stories of the national tour and unreleased exclusive interview videos.

According to the Youngjin Committee's integrated movie ticket network on the 5th, 'I'm Hero the Final' attracted 65,780 audiences last weekend. It was released on the 1st and the cumulative number of viewers was 144,037.

Lim Young-woong's fandom's interest in Heroic Generation is producing one of the best achievements among live performance films ever released in theaters.

The most popular live concert documentary is 'Break the Silence: The Movie', which drew a cumulative audience of 131,693 people from BTS's world stadium tour in 2019, and Lim Young-woong's 'I'm Hero the Final' has already surpassed this record, becoming the 1st record in history. As he was running above, I was able to feel Lim Young-woong’s power once again.
