Singer Lim Young-woong gave fans a special gift for Children’s Day by sharing cute photos from his childhood, showing his deep love for soccer.
On May 5, Lim Young-woong uploaded photos to his account with the caption, “Child Lim Young-woong who loves soccer.”
In the photos, a young Lim Young-woong strikes a confident model pose with one hand on his hip, suggesting his relaxed stage presence was there from the start. His kind eyes and long limbs, which remain unchanged today, captured attention and proved his natural visual.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting, “His proportions were already amazing since he was little,” “So his love for soccer started back then,” and “Like his grandmother said, it would be perfect if he just finds a good partner now.”
Recently, Lim Young-woong has been rewriting music history with his overwhelming digital power. In March, he surpassed 13.6 billion cumulative streams on Melon, Korea’s largest music platform, firmly holding the all-time #1 spot over BTS. Additionally, according to the audit report of his one-person agency, Mulgogi Music, Lim Young-woong reportedly earned a total of 15.5 billion won last year, including approximately 14.5 billion won in settlements and 1 billion won in dividends, showcasing his status as a “walking SME.”
News of performances and global projects also continued. Following the successful completion of his 2026 nationwide tour ‘IM HERO’, he will meet fans again in September for his solo concert ‘IM HERO – THE STADIUM 2’ at Goyang Stadium. Furthermore, he is expanding his global reach by participating in the Korean dubbing project for the world’s #1 YouTuber, MrBeast.
In a Sapporo travel vlog released on the 22nd of last month, Lim Young-woong drew attention for his filial piety by preparing a surprise event for his family during their trip to Japan. At the time, his grandmother gave him some realistic advice, saying, “Making money is great, but get married soon,” to which Lim Young-woong responded with a shy smile, bringing warmth to viewers.
