'AAA Daesang' Lim Young-woong, This Year's Brightest Hero

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Singer Lim Young-woong swept up four trophies, including the grand prize.

On the 2nd, Lim Young-woong won a total of four awards at the '2021 Asia Artist Awards' (2021 AAA) held at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, receiving the RET Popularity Award, U+ Idol Live Popularity Award, Best OST, and the Grand Prize in the Trot of the Year category.

After receiving the grand prize that day, Lim Young-woong said, "I am happy just to attend, but I am even happier to receive four awards," and expressed his gratitude to "Heroic Age (his fandom) family members."

He continued, "There are people who devote themselves more to our traditional songs than I do, and I think I received this award on their behalf. Thank you," dedicating the honor to them.

In addition, actors Lee Jung-jae, Yoo Ah-in, Lee Seung-gi, groups BTS, NCT 127, Seventeen, aespa, and Stray Kids also received awards.

Lim Young-woong's winning streak is just beginning. He is scheduled to attend the 'Melon Music Awards 2021' (MMA2021) on the 4th, and given his strong performance on the music charts this year, winning is highly anticipated.

Earlier, Lim Young-woong's song "Love Always Runs Away," released in October, reached a peak position of 9th on the charts on November 15. This song, released as the OST for the drama "Gentleman and Lady," performed well on the charts as much as the drama was popular.

In addition, many of Lim Young-woong's digital singles, including "My Love Like Starlight," released in March, "HERO," "Trust Me Now," and several songs released during his appearance on the variety show "Love Call Center," have consistently ranked high on the charts.

Furthermore, on the 10th, he will perform on the KBS year-end special solo show "We’re HERO Lim Young-woong." Prior to this, from the afternoon of the 2nd, Lim Young-woong's official light stick was unveiled and sales began. The light stick features a refreshing color symbolizing the fan club Heroic Age and boasts a clean yet sophisticated design.

At Lim Young-woong's KBS solo show, instead of cheers, a blue wave is expected to spread throughout the audience.
