Lim Young-woong releases music video for 'Please Be Happy' as homage to Leslie Cheung

Mulgogi Music announced on the 20th that Lim Young-woong has released a music video for "Please Be Happy," a track from his "IM HERO 10" digital album that incorporates fan messages into its lyrics. The video, which pays homage to the late Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung, has already reached 26th on the Melon "Hot 100" chart.

Singer Lim Young-woong has provided another special gift to his fans by unexpectedly releasing a music video for his new song. As the track incorporates the feelings of his fans into its lyrics, the music video serves as an opportunity to reaffirm the long-standing affection and connection between Lim Young-woong and the Heroic Age.

Mulgogi Music announced on the 20th that the music video for Lim Young-woong's new song "Please Be Happy" has been released. In the video, Lim Young-woong appears on stage wearing a black suit, singing passionately with his signature emotional style. His restrained styling, serious expression, and focus on the song work together to deeply convey the lyrical sentiment of the track.

The concept of this music video is an homage to the Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung, who passed away on April Fools' Day, much like a lie.

The music video particularly draws attention through picket sign messages containing the sincere feelings of fans. Phrases such as "A passing encounter is fate, a permeating encounter is love" and "Excitement with no expiration date" appear, adding special meaning through the affection and support shown toward Lim Young-woong. The scenes are completed by naturally weaving the fans' hearts into the song and video, demonstrating the relationship between the artist and the fans.

"Please Be Happy" is a track included in the special digital album "IM HERO 10," which Lim Young-woong released on the 8th of last month. A key feature of the song is that it translates picket messages sent by fans into lyrical lyrics, and Lim Young-woong himself participated in writing the lyrics to add his sincerity. The greatest charm of the song lies in the structure where the language of the fans becomes a song, which is then delivered back to the fans.

The reason Lim Young-woong's music continues to be loved can be found in this emotional connection that links the stage to daily life. Rather than flashy performances or intense stimulation, he approaches his audience with lyrics and a voice that soothe the heart. This new song holds significance beyond being a mere album track, as it returns the messages of the fans through music.

The song's digital performance is also drawing interest. As of the morning of the 20th, "Please Be Happy" ranked 26th on the "Hot 100" chart of Melon, South Korea's largest music platform. With the music video now released following the initial interest after its debut, attention is focused on whether public response to the song will continue.

Lim Young-woong met with fans through the "IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2" performance held at Goyang Stadium from the 4th to the 6th of last month. Released while the lingering emotions of that performance continue, this music video is a gift that knocks on the hearts of fans once again. Much like the title "Please Be Happy," interest is centered on how the warm wishes conveyed by Lim Young-woong through his song will resonate with his fans.
