The concert film 'Lim Young-woong | IM HERO THE STADIUM 2' will begin screening at CGV nationwide on November 18, featuring a first-of-its-kind 4-side SCREENX experience that expands video to the side walls and ceiling. The film captures the stadium concert that drew a cumulative audience of 1 million people.

The stadium concert of singer Lim Young-woong is set to be revived in theaters with an even more overwhelming scale. The concert film 'Lim Young-woong | IM HERO THE STADIUM 2', scheduled for release on November 18, has confirmed a SCREENX screening. In particular, expectations are rising among fans as this marks the first time one of Lim Young-woong's concert films will meet audiences in a 4-side SCREENX theater, where the video expands beyond the front screen to the left and right walls and even the ceiling.

This work captures the emotion of the stadium concert, which recorded a cumulative audience of 1 million people, and brings it to the large screen with rich sound. It also carries the meaning of a special festival, looking back on the 10 years Lim Young-woong and the fandom Heroic Age have walked together and promising a new 10 years to follow. Rather than simply recording stage scenes, it is composed to allow audiences to re-experience the emotions created by the performance, the bond with fans, and monumental moments within the theater space.

Above all, this SCREENX screening focuses on maximizing the scale and sense of presence of the venue. The 4-side SCREENX, which spreads images across the left and right walls and the ceiling beyond the front screen, provides an immersive feeling as if the audience is standing in the middle of the stage by expanding their field of vision. As the cheers of the audience filling the stadium and the brilliant stage production expand in all directions, it is expected to provide a visual experience different from existing concert films.

The drone show and fireworks, considered highlights of the performance, will also fill the theater space. The spectacle of drones decorating the night sky and brilliantly exploding fireworks is expected to convey the grandeur of the stadium even more vividly as they extend to the ceiling and walls. Combined with the cheers and shouts created by tens of thousands of spectators, it is expected to recall the heated atmosphere of the performance at the time.

Lim Young-woong's musical charm is also a core element of this work. His unrivaled musical spectrum that spans genres, combined with the liveliness of the band live and the dynamic performance of the choreography team, enhances the completeness of the stage. As the energy created by singing, playing, and dancing can be enjoyed through the expanded screen and three-dimensional video production, it is expected to be a time to recall memories for those who experienced the live performance and a new viewing opportunity for fans who could not visit the venue.

The poster released alongside the confirmation of the SCREENX screening also puts the heat of the performance at the forefront. The image of Lim Young-woong singing passionately under red lighting and the view of the stadium shining with the cheers of Heroic Age are captured in one frame. The energy of the singer on stage and the fans filling the seats blend together, emphasizing the overwhelming scale and festive atmosphere of the performance.

In particular, the fact that this is the first 4-side SCREENX screening among Lim Young-woong's films is a differentiating factor for this release. It is an attempt to expand the expressive range of concert films by moving away from the typical viewing method centered on the front screen and expanding the audience's field of vision in all directions. The goal is to deliver an immersive feeling as if the audience has become part of the performance by implementing not only the stage view but also the atmosphere surrounding the venue through video.

This work, which commemorates the time built together by Lim Young-woong and Heroic Age as they mark his 10th anniversary since debut, holds significance as a cultural event that shares the memories and emotions of the fandom beyond a mere record of the performance. Attention is focused on what kind of reaction the emotion of the stadium concert, which led to a cumulative audience of 1 million, will draw in theaters. 'Lim Young-woong | IM HERO THE STADIUM 2' will be screened at CGV nationwide starting November 18.
