‘Vertical rise in popularity’ Lim Young-woong “There were many painful times, but I changed my mind… Fans are stars bigger than the sun”

Singer Lim Young-woong confessed about his worries after gaining popularity.

In the last episode of KBS2 Lim Young-woong’s solo reality entertainment ‘My Little Hero’ (MY LITTLE HERO), which aired on the 25th, Lim Young-woong met science YouTuber Orbit.

Young-woong Lim finds a man at a restaurant where he arrives for dinner and approaches him. Lim Young-woong, a ‘space virtuoso’ whose favorite movie is ‘Interstellar’, couldn’t keep his mouth shut when an unexpected guest appeared and was happy, saying, “I couldn’t even imagine it. It’s so good.” The person Lim Young-woong met was the science YouTuber Orbit.

Promising to go see the stars together, the next day they took an old truck and headed to the vast desert. Lim Young-woong, who took the steering wheel, was excited, saying, "It's my first time driving an old car. It's fun to achieve a romance."

Lim Young-woong and Orbit quickly got closer by exchanging questions related to science and space. Orbit, who is also close with singer Younha, said, "Younha wrote the songs 'Event Horizon' and 'Black Hole' after watching my video. He said that I was his muse. The song itself was written scientifically well." At the same time, he recommended, “I would like to make a song related to space science, too.”

Lim Young-woong said, "I told my fans a lot that 'you are like stars'. The stars you see here may be small and insignificant, but the stars that emit their own light are much bigger than the sun." I thought about using it as lyrics. I want to talk with Orbit and solve it further.” Lim Young-woong and Orbit also decided that 'You are more than the sun' as the song's working title.

In an interview with the production team, Lim Young-woong said, "When the opportunity arises, I will continue to make my own songs. Next time, I want to make a song related to space science."

To Lim Young-woong, who became a top star, Orbit said, “Now is an important time. I have come. It seems to be an important situation where I have to think a lot now.”

Lim Young-woong confessed, “I have a lot of worries. There were many painful times.” He continued, "However, I changed my mind that it was not a worry that I thought a lot and struggled with, but a worry that excited me every day. He also thanked Orbit, "I didn't know he would say such a good thing." Orbit praised Lim Young-woong, saying, "You're growing yourself. You're an adult." "I saw him on the air and thought he must be a good person. I became a fan more when I saw him take care of the people around him. I think he's a good friend."
