Singer Lim Young-woong is gearing up for a comeback with his second full-length album, IM HERO 2. On August 18, he revealed the tracklist through his official social media, decorated with emojis he drew himself.
A Rich and Diverse Tracklist
The album includes 11 songs spanning multiple genres, such as "Since I Sent the Reply," "ULSSIGU," "As If the Moment Lasts Forever," "I'll Become a Wildflower," and "Because It's Raining." Other tracks like "Wonderful Life," "Melody for You," "Don't Look Back," "I Know, I'm Sorry," "I Am Hero," and "Goodbye to Us" round out the list.
Industry insiders noted, "Lim Young-woong is returning with a broader musical spectrum and deeper emotions, captivating audiences with his growth as an artist."
Special Album Preview for Fans
Ahead of the release, a large-scale listening event will be held on August 28 across 50 CGV theaters nationwide, drawing an audience of about 50,000. Fans will have the chance to hear the entire album before its official drop.
An Eco-Friendly Release
In a first for K-pop, Lim Young-woong has decided not to release CDs for this album. Instead, he will provide an album book version, which won't count toward official chart sales but reflects his consideration for the environment and his fans' financial burdens.
Comeback Plans
IM HERO 2 will be released on August 29 at 6 p.m. KST on major music platforms. Following the album's release, Lim Young-woong will embark on a nationwide tour, starting in Incheon this October, to connect with fans across Korea.
