★1 line cut: 100 million views in 19 days, Lim Young-woong is becoming a ‘Melon legend’
Singer Lim Young-woong has once again made Melon streaming history.With the strong support and encouragement of his fandom, ‘Heroic Era’, he has proven his hot presence by breaking the highest record for a solo singer.

As of the 1st, Lim Young-woong recorded 11.887 billion cumulative streams on Melon.This is a figure that proves his immense music power once again, adding 100 million streams in just 19 days since surpassing 11.7 billion streams on the 13th of last month.

In January 2023, Lim Young-woong was added to the ‘Billions-Gold Club’, which is given to artists with cumulative streaming of 5 billion to 10 billion in the ‘Melon Hall of Fame’ compiled by Melon.Later, on June 18th of last year, he became the owner of the ‘Billions-Diamond Club’ by surpassing 10 billion cumulative streaming.So far, only BTS and Lim Young-woong have been added to this club, and Lim Young-woong is the only solo singer.



● Not only streaming record… but also brand reputation is #1
Lim Young-woong’s power is not limited to music charts.He also took first place in the May singer brand reputation index, and also took first place in the trot singer category.He boasted an all-round influence by continuously ranking in the top tier, including third place in the star category and third place in the advertisement category.

The unprecedented record of 11.8 billion streams is not the result of Lim Young-woong’s power alone, but a miraculous time created together with ‘Heroic Era’.Now, I’m more curious about the story than the numbers, as to how far he will reach in the future.
