Lim Young-woong, wearing a black suit, tearful memorial stage… Careful communication with fans, conveying sincerity

Lim Young-woong finished the opening song wearing a simple black suit and black tie to pay his respects instead of a flashy outfit, and expressed his deep condolences, saying, "It is with a heavy heart that I greet you all today. I am deeply saddened to hear the news that precious lives were lost in a plane crash, and I would like to send my sincere condolences to the victims and their families."

He continued, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who is doing their best at the scene during the difficult situation of the plane accident," and expressed his gratitude to those who are working hard at the scene.

I want to convey hope and comfort through today's performance along with the sincerity I had while preparing the stage.

Lim Young-woong maintained a calm tone while talking to fans during the song selection and performance, and the fans also joined in on the atmosphere as they fully conveyed Lim Young-woong's sincerity in a careful yet firm, non-heavy yet serious, and considerate manner that did not cross the line.

Lim Young-woong suppressed his emotions while observing the audience and fans who came from far away to see the performance with respect, but as he sang, his eyes filled with tears welling up like a tidal wave, and we could feel his heart growing deeper and wider.

At the news that the 'Lim Young-woong Recital' would go ahead as scheduled, an online community posted a post titled, "The reality of the performance industry that has been hit hard by the recent disaster," with a netizen saying, "I'm not saying that everyone should stop mourning and immediately hold all performances and events. There are people who don't understand that there are far more people who work for a living than celebrities involved, and they are cursing the event itself or even demanding that it be forcibly canceled (or even punished). While they use that as an excuse to curse at celebrities, saying they are an aristocracy, no one cares about the fact that the livelihoods of ordinary people working in the cultural and artistic world are being threatened. All the people who prepared for the performance are the ones who are being hit the hardest."
