Singer Lim Youngwoong filled the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul with a sea of sky-blue cheering sticks from January 16 to 18, kicking off his 2026 nationwide tour concert, "IM HERO."
During the Seoul concert, Lim Youngwoong greeted his fans by saying, "Thank you for being the compass and answer in my life," and added, "Let's meet again at the concert hall." Over the three days, approximately 18,000 people attended each show, drawing a total audience of about 54,000.
The concert opened with "Wonderful Life," a track from his second studio album. Lim Youngwoong continued with a jazz arrangement of "Trust in Me Only," as well as his previous hit songs such as "I Will Become a Wildflower" and "Because It Rained." He showcased his vocal talent with "Since I Sent a Reply" and "ULSSIGU," then continued with the title tracks "Make the Moment Last Forever" and "Don't Look Back."
Lim Youngwoong also hosted the "Hero Singing Contest" segment, passionately performing songs requested by fans on the spot and engaging with the audience. Returning to the Gocheok Dome stage after a year, he featured large three-sided screens and vertical relay displays to capture his facial expressions up close for the audience. A seat mapping technology was also implemented, allowing the color of the cheering sticks to change in sync with the songs.
