The King of “Fan Service” Gets Outdone By His Own Concert Staff
Soloist Lim Young Woong is now best known for his immaculate “fan service,” putting the comfort and satisfaction of his fanbase first when he performs.
The set-up and amenities provided at his past concerts have been paradigm-changing for K-Pop fans…

…who then demanded more from their favorite groups’ management companies to “do better.”
Making concerts more accessible for every person, no matter the age (because not being able to see doesn’t just apply to older people anyway, lol), is what every artist should strive for, TBH…
He’s always so admirable.

It seems, however, that the King of Fan Service himself got outshined at his “IM HERO – THE STADIUM” concert in Seoul!
On the first of the two-night performance, Lim Young Woong’s concert staff was spotted helping a senior attendee find their seat. A tweet highlighting the staff’s kindness claimed, “As soon as the staff saw the elder, they offered to carry the elder on their back.”

Happening right now at the first night of Lim Young Woong’s concert in Sangam. I’m deeply moved by this staff. They saw an elder struggling with the stairs and they immediately offered help. They carried the elder on their back to the correct seat. I have nothing but praise for this staff! But if they want this tweet deleted, I will remove.

The staff received a tremendous amount of praise when the tweet went viral across social media platforms and online communities…
- “Must have been difficult and dangerous to carry someone up the stairs that steep. This is amazing.”
- “Aw, this is making me tear up… I’m so grateful for the staff.”
- “Incredible… Being nice and taking action are different things. They could’ve chosen not to intervene. But they did, and they even had the strength to actually carry the elder up the stairs… Whenever I hear things about Lim Young Woong’s concerts, I realize that most artists can, they just won’t. Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, TBH… Haha.”
- “Wow, incredible.”
- “Even his concert staff members are kind?! So incredible.”
- “You all know how hard it is to go far and beyond your pay rate. It’s incredible how this staff reacted. They’re the ones interacting personally with the audience, so they really can make or break the experience.”
- “Daebak. The staff looks quite young. I can’t believe how kind they were. I’m tearing up.”
- “How many concerts would the elders feel like they could attend with confidence that everything will be accessible? Not many. So this concert is significant in so many ways.”
- “This is making me emotional and I miss my grandma.”
- “A huge compliment to both the soloist and his staff. This is quite frankly the most perfect concert experience.”
- “On the third floor?! Even the healthiest people have trouble walking up those stairs. This staff is simply amazing.”
…which, then, reached Lim Young Woong.
