Singer Lim Young-woong continued his positive influence even in a meaningful year marking his 10th debut anniversary.
Social Welfare Community Chest of Love (Community Chest of Korea) said on the 24th that Lim Young-woong, together with his agency Fish Music, recently donated 200 million won to help residents affected by heavy rains in the southern region. In particular, this time he again delivered the donation in the name of his fan club "Hero Era," adding more meaning to sharing with fans.
The donation will be used for residents affected in the southern region, including Geoje and Tongyeong in Gyeongnam, through the Community Chest of Love's ongoing "2026 heavy rain damage special fundraising." It will be used for emergency relief for displaced people and temporary housing support, as well as recovery of affected areas and restoration of residents' daily lives.
Because this year marks his 10th debut anniversary, this act of charity is even more meaningful. Lim Young-woong posted a long message on the fan cafe on the 8th, his 10th debut anniversary, looking back on the time gone by and expressing his gratitude to fans.
He recalled that 10 years ago he started with a few songs and a small number of CDs without glamorous stages or massive promotion. He said he pushed himself with the single thought, "someday I will be the best singer."
Above all, he expressed special feelings to the fans who made him who he is today. He said he feels the love of fans who chose him among many singers and waited for his stage every day, and promised, "I will remain a person who sings by your side for a long, long time to come."
Lim Young-woong, who has been returning the love he received from fans through consistent sharing, has attracted even more attention because since 2021 he has participated in donations not only on birthdays and holidays but also whenever various disasters occurred.
Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong debuted in the music industry by releasing the digital single "I hate you" on Aug. 8, 2016. Having started on small stages and now marking his 10th debut anniversary, he continued a meaningful course with a donation of 200 million won to neighbors suffering from the heavy rains.
