Lim Young-woong unveils ‘Gather Round’ MV, capturing a grand scene of unity on the 15th — ‘A song made for festival day’

Singer ‘Lim Young-woong’ has returned with a new song that reinterprets Korea’s traditional celebratory spirit in a modern way. His agency, Fish Music, drew public attention on the 15th by unveiling the music video for ‘Gather Round’, a track from his new album ‘IM HERO 10’.

Stunning visuals meet traditional mask dance

The newly unveiled music video for ‘Gather Round’ vividly captures the dynamic process of an entire village coming together to prepare for a massive festival. The addition of lively performances by a traditional lion-mask dance troupe and a pungmul percussion ensemble delivers an unparalleled visual thrill.

The song is the result of ‘Lim Young-woong’ personally taking part in writing and composing it, further elevating its musical authenticity. Warm, folksy lyrics — “How wonderful, hooray, Korea is wonderful” — blend with a catchy melody that lingers in the ear, creating a deep sense of connection that transcends generations.

Earlier, when he performed the song at his large-scale solo concert ‘IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2’ at Goyang Stadium, he expressed particular affection and confidence in it, calling it “a song that is perfectly suited to a day of celebration.”

‘IM HERO 10’, which has surged steadily since its release, now holds firm in the top tier of major music platforms, once again demonstrating Lim Young-woong’s explosive commercial power as an irreplaceable artist.
