Lim Young-woong confesses to dementia “I don‘t remember the restaurant name well” Choreography practice also creaky

Singer Lim Young-woong confessed to his declining memory.

On the 9th, a video titled ‘Lim Young-woong Recital [RE:CITAL] Behind Ep2. The (real) prologue to the great journey’ was released on Lim Young-woong’s YouTube channel. The video contains behind-the-scenes footage of Lim Young-woong‘s recital concerts held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul at the end of last year and early this year.

In the video, Lim Young-woong shows off his warm visuals while shooting concert posters and showing off various outfits. He mentioned retro as a difference from his previous concepts, explaining, “I brought LPs, old books, and earphones as props, and I prepared outfits that have an old-fashioned feel”.

During a break during filming, Lim Young-woong became distressed when he couldn’t remember the name of the restaurant. When the staff mentioned ‘youthful dementia’, he joked, “I have youthful dementia these days. I can‘t even remember restaurant names. I think I should play Go-Stop a lot.”.

Then, a video of the concert session and the choreography practice was also released. In particular, in the choreography practice room, Lim Young-woong practiced the choreography while recalling his memories, but it wasn’t easy. When the staff asked, “Isn‘t today a mid-term check?”, Lim Young-woong replied, “No.”. He honestly confessed, “When I practice, I forget everything, and when I practice, I forget everything.”. There was a lot of concern, but after repeated practice, he showed a high-quality performance, drawing admiration.”.
