The audio track video for ‘Love Always Runs Away,’ the first OST he participated in, has surpassed 104 million views on YouTube, marking another major milestone.

​As of the 4th, the ‘Love Always Runs Away’ audio track video on Lim Young-woong's official YouTube channel ‘Lim Young-woong’ has exceeded 104 million cumulative views. Last August, it set a ‘mega record’ by reaching 100 million views as a single audio track video, and in just a few months it has added 4 million more, continuing an unstoppable run.

​The prowess of the ‘OST final boss’ that continues even after the drama ended

​Inserted as the main OST for the KBS2 weekend drama ‘Young Lady and Gentleman,’ the song swept to No. 1 on various music charts upon release, sparking the ‘Lim Young-woong phenomenon.’ Although a long time has passed since the drama ended, his signature delicate sensibility and understated vocals continue to capture the hearts of listeners, and it still firmly holds top positions on karaoke and music charts.

​The majesty of the YouTube king… the record-making machine keeps going

​This surpassing of 104 million views is especially meaningful in that it was achieved solely with an ‘audio video (audio track video),’ rather than a music video or a lyric video. It is also proof that, without flashy visual elements, Lim Young-woong's single ‘voice’ alone has earned steady favor from the public.

​At present, in addition to ‘Love Always Runs Away,’ Lim Young-woong holds numerous ten million (10 million views) videos, showcasing unrivaled influence on YouTube. With the fervent backing of the fandom ‘Hero Generation,’ new records are being set every day, and many judge that reaching the 110 million view milestone is not far off.

​A result powered by the ‘Geonhaeng’ energy of Hero Generation

​Fans who heard the news are sending messages of congratulations, saying, “A timeless masterpiece that moves the heart”, “Let us go from 100 million to 200 million views”, and “The voice of Lim Young-woong is a comfort in our lives”.

​Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong has recently been communicating with fans through various performances and activities, and each song he releases receives love across all generations, solidifying his position as a top artist in South Korea.
