Lim Young Woong sets up 12 special large screens at his concert venue for his elderly fans who have trouble seeing

AKP STAFF

Trot singer Lim Young Woong's compassion for his fans was undeniably displayed at his recent concert.

Being aware of his significant elderly fan base, a characteristic of the trot genre, Lim Young Woong invested millions of KRWs (thousands of USD) to ensure their comfort by setting up 12 expansive screens at the concert venue. This thoughtful endeavor earned him praise from concertgoers.

Starting on October 27, Lim Young Woong commenced his 'IM HERO TOUR 2023' at the Seoul KSPO DOME, offering a thorough three-night performance. Further concerts are also slated to take place at the Seoul KSPO DOME from November 3 to 5.


Recently, Korean communities were abuzz with positive reviews from fans who were lucky enough to attend Lim Young Woong's concert. The innovative stage equipment, unlike anything seen in previous concert venues, was a noteworthy highlight for the audience. To minimize blind spots in the vast concert hall, a total of 12 large screens were strategically hung in the air, a stark contrast to traditional idol concerts.

Conventionally, individuals watching concerts from the 2nd or 3rd floors often grumble about the poor visibility of the stage and the screens in the typically dim concert hall. However, at Lim Young Woong's concert, the clever arrangement of screens allowed a clear view of his performance from every angle in the 360-degree seating area.

Lim Young Woong's consideration for his fans extended beyond the large screens. Every seat was equipped with a cushion for increased comfort, and safety personnel used flashlights to guide fans through the dark concert hall. Post-performance, staff were stationed from the concert venue to various subway stations to ensure fans made their way home safely.


The concert venue also featured an innovative 'family waiting room.' For the first time in the history of concerts, a space was designated for children who accompanied their parents to the event. This thoughtful addition allowed children a safe and comfortable place to rest until the end of the performance.

The public admiration for Lim Young Woong was overwhelming, with netizens showering him with comments such as, "Just wow, it's not just about the music," and "Other agencies should learn from this." Others confessed, "My mom's his fan but I feel like I might fall for him too," "I would want to go to his concert just to see him sing but seeing his treatment of his fans, I want to go more," and "He's really on another level. I'm excited for a concert where I feel so much love from the singer."
