“What is memorable is not the taste of the food, but the taste of the heart.”

On April 19, the volunteer sharing room ‘Laon’ within Lim Young-woong’s fan club ‘Heroic Era’ visited ‘Rodem’s House ‘, a facility for the protection of severely disabled children located in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do, again.It was already the 46th time.

On this day, Laon donated a total of 1.82 million won worth of meals, snacks, and supplies, and added sincerity by directly cooking and distributing the food to the children in the kitchen.This month’s menu, prepared for the Day of Persons with Disabilities, is filled with a rich menu for a celebratory day, from seaweed soup to bulgogi, japchae, chive and mushroom pancakes, sweet potato lotus root candy, and rainbow rice cakes.
This table of sharing, generously prepared with snacks, fruits, and even Korean beef for children, was closer to a ‘blessing’ than a simple distribution.

Laon said, “We arrived earlier than usual to match the event schedule and prepared food that required a lot of work, but it was more rewarding than ever,” adding, “Seeing the children enjoy the food made us forget all the hard work.”

Laon has reached out to places that need help, including the shantytown, Yongsan Box Village, the Seoul Children’s Welfare Association, ‘People Who Sell Hope’, and most recently, Seoul National University Children’s Hospital.The cumulative donations for the past four years amount to 157.27 million won, and the words ‘sincerity’ and ‘continuity’ naturally follow this number.

What is most noteworthy is that all of these actions are in line with singer Lim Young-woong’s philosophy.He always values communication with his fans and his attitude of practicing ‘warmth’ in his life is also having a profound impact on fandom culture.

● 213 weeks in first place, the temperature of the fandom hidden behind the numbers

During the same period, Lim Young-woong achieved another new record by achieving 1st place for 213 consecutive weeks on the Idol Chart Rating Ranking.In the third week of April, he received the most votes with a whopping 366,130, and also had the most ‘Likes’ with 35,992.This achievement, made possible by the voluntary participation and constant support of fans, goes beyond a simple ‘numbers battle’ and shows the depth of ‘relationships’.

His music touches us, and the touch of his fans warms every corner of our lives.The organic connection between the two is becoming a new model for fandom in our time.
“Liking good people may be the quickest way to becoming a good person.”
