The duet stage of Lim Young-woong and Jeong Dong-won that unfolded on ‘Call Center of Love’ has once again written a legend.On February 13, 2021, the video of ‘Becoming a Thousand Winds’ posted on Lim Young-woong’s official YouTube channel recently surpassed 13 million views.Even now, three years after the stage, this song is still quietly blowing, embracing someone’s heart.

“A Thousand Winds” is a world-famous funeral march that was originally set to the melody of the English memorial poem, “Do not stand at my grave and weep.” In Korea, it was first introduced in February 2009 by pop opera tenor Lim Hyung-joo, who included it in his mini-album “My Hero” after rearranging and partially rewriting it.Since then, it has been remembered as a song of comfort to many.The title of the mini-album is also notable, “My Hero.” Did he ever predict that one day “another hero” would sing this song?

In this stage where Lim Young-woong and Jeong Dong-won performed together, warmth and sincerity were added to the sadness and tranquility of the original song.The two people’s delicate emotional expression, clear tone, and restrained harmony were a ‘healing experience’ that went beyond a simple song.

Lim Hyung-joo praised him, saying, “Lim Young-woong’s songs are filled with his sincerity.He is a singer with exceptional talent who can make any song his own.” As a world-renowned pop opera singer and original singer, his praise was by no means light.

Lim Hyung-joo is an artist who has captivated audiences around the world with his beautiful voice and rich emotions.The fact that Lim Young-woong sang the songs he sang again and reinterpreted them with a completely different warmth adds to the meaning of this stage.

This song is a bridge of hearts connecting those who are left behind and those who have left.The message, “I will become a thousand winds and stay by your side,” is even more profound when delivered by Lim Young-woong’s voice.Because the song is a memory to some and a comfort to others.

Perhaps that is why the comments are still filled with sincere responses like, “I got through it thanks to this song,” and “When I listen to this song at the end of the day, my mind is clear.”
“13 million plays is 13 million comforts.”
