[Sports Seoul | Reporter Choi Seung-seop] Singer Lim Young-woong turned heads after unveiling a striking new platinum-blonde look.
Lim shared three photos on his official social media on the 9th, accompanying the post with a bob-hair emoji.
In the images, Lim debuts a bright blonde style he hasn’t shown since his debut, projecting an unexpectedly fresh aesthetic.
In a mirror selfie, he pairs cute striped pajamas with sleek sunglasses, showing a confident, fashion-forward side. Another shot finds him in a T-shirt and shorts, striking a relaxed pose that emphasizes a refreshing, boyish charm.
The visual makeover is matched by an equally impressive milestone.
On the same day, Melon — South Korea’s largest music streaming platform — reported that Lim Young-woong’s cumulative streams surpassed 13,490,700,000 plays. That figure eclipses the previous record held by BTS and now stands as the highest total in the history of Korean pop, underscoring Lim’s broad, cross-generational appeal.
Combining both strong visuals and a powerful musical presence, Lim Young-woong is set to headline IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2 at Goyang Sports Complex this September. thunder@sportsseoul.com
