[talk] 'Soccer field performance? Soccer shoes are default' Positive change started by Lim Young-woong, Twice followed suit

[My Daily = Reporter Kim Do-hyung] It seems like you should definitely watch out for the stars who will be performing at soccer stadiums in the future. The positive changes that started with singer Lim Young-woong are now becoming the basic preparation posture. The group Twice also performed wearing soccer cleats.

Twice took charge of the halftime stage at the first match of the 'Coupang Play Series' between Team K League and Tottenham Hotspur held at Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul on the 31st of last month. They further raised the excitement of the festival site with a total of three songs: 'Heart Shaker', 'Dance The Night Away', and 'Cheer Up'.

The outfit in particular attracted a lot of attention. The top was a soccer uniform, and the bottom was denim pants, giving off a refreshing feeling and going well with the soccer field. With the detail of soccer socks that covered below the knees and soccer shoes with a white and black design, it was evaluated as a 'conceptual celebratory performance' by soccer fans.

Twice's outfits can be seen as the result of Lim Young-woong's influence. Last April, Lim Young-woong performed at a K League 1 concert between FC Seoul and Daegu FC wearing soccer cleats, causing a huge stir among soccer fans. It was common to perform wearing sneakers, but there were no cases of wearing soccer cleats. Furthermore, the concept of not only himself but also his backup dancers wearing soccer cleats became an opportunity to captivate sports fans.

Before Twice, all 24 members of the group Triple S wore soccer cleats and showed off their synchronized dance moves during the Ulsan HD FC halftime performance in June. This received so much attention that it was even featured on the MBC entertainment program 'Point of Omniscient Interfere'.

At his concert 'IM HERO-THE STADIUM' held at Seoul World Cup Stadium in May, Lim Young-woong showed off his novel planning skills by removing all the ground seats and constructing the stage. This was to minimize damage to the grass by listening to the opinions of soccer fans and officials.

In this way, as the entertainment industry has been taking steps to be more considerate of the soccer industry since Lim Young-woong, it is evaluated that both sides are having a win-win effect. One year and four months have passed since Lim Young-woong’s performance. It may seem trivial at first glance, but his one meticulous action is bringing about positive changes in the performance culture within sports.

The positive change of wearing soccer shoes in soccer field performances, which started with Lim Young-woong, is now becoming the basic posture for preparation.

I think it's the good influence of a number one singer.
