The race to snag seats for Lim Young-woong’s concerts has turned into a full-on frenzy―culminating in sellouts across every stop on his nationwide run.
According to his label Fish Music, tickets for the Daejeon leg of Lim’s 2025 "IM HERO" tour opened at 8 p.m. on Aug. 30 via the NOL Ticket platform and, like other cities, sold out across all dates at lightning speed, underscoring his unrivaled ticket power.
In recent weeks, social media has been flooded with posts from fans stuck in virtual queues for hours―often with dozens still ahead―making it nearly impossible to buy. Each ticket drop has sparked another fierce scramble, from the opening salvo in Incheon to Daegu, Seoul, Gwangju and now Daejeon, with every city gone in a flash.
This tour promises a deeper emotional arc and a wider range of staging and looks, aiming to captivate fans across generations.
With his second full-length album, “IM HERO 2,” resonating across the tracklist, anticipation is already high for what he’ll unveil onstage this time around.
The nationwide trek kicks off Oct. 17-19 at Incheon’s Songdo Convensia, where Lim is set to light up the arena in his signature sky-blue ocean of light.
From there, the momentum rolls through Daegu and Seoul in November; Gwangju in December; Daejeon and Seoul in January 2026; and Busan in February.
