[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Even 10 years after his debut, his music remains as powerful as ever. Following his rise to the top of the Billboard Korea chart with “Tto Tto”—a song for which Lim Young-woong personally wrote the lyrics and composed the music—tracks from the album he released to mark his 10th anniversary have also entered the charts in large numbers. It is noteworthy that listening interest is spreading across the entire new album, rather than being limited to just one specific hit song.

Other tracks from the album also made the list across the board. Several songs from the special digital album “IM HERO 10”—including “Baila,” “Moisé,” “Please Be Happy,” “To Us Who Have Lived,” and “New York”—entered the charts. In particular, “Tto Tto,” which reached the top of the chart, holds special significance as it is an original song for which Lim Young-woong personally wrote both the lyrics and the music. Featuring a charming melody and lyrics, the song showcases Lim Young-woong’s musical style not only as a vocalist but also as a singer-songwriter. “IM HERO 10” is an album that showcases Lim Young-woong’s current artistic state as he marks the 10th anniversary of his debut. It features a total of 10 tracks, including original compositions and newly remastered versions of his hits. Ahead of the digital release, he drew significant attention by premiering the new songs on stage during his 2026 concert “IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2.” (Photo courtesy of Mulgoi Music) The excitement that began at the concert venues carried over to the music charts. Immediately after the album’s release, it entered the charts on major domestic music streaming sites such as Melon, Genie, and Bugs, and topped both Melon’s Top 100 and Hot 100 charts. On the latest Billboard Korea charts, several tracks—led by “Tto Tto”—made the list simultaneously, once again demonstrating his strong competitiveness in the music scene. Lim Young-woong is continuing his 10th-anniversary activities, most recently releasing the music video for another self-composed song, “Moisse.” Marking his 10th anniversary since debut, he is maintaining his presence not only in live performances but also in the music charts, proving the enduring strength of his long-standing fanbase.
