Lim Young-woong, Melon streaming exceeds 6.7 billion times
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 12.1 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 6.7 billion streams as of the 28th, 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 7.6 billion views, 4th place Lim Young-woong with 6.7 billion views (daily increase of about 7.31 million times), reaching the 10 billion club when calculated by daily increase. It is expected that this will be achieved within about 1 year and 3 months.
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 of last month. Lim Young-woong finished the concert at the Dolby Theater in LA, USA on February 11th and 12th, and on March 1st, the theatrical version of the performance was released at CGV, ranking first in advance sales. It shows great heat.
