Im Young-woong's YouTube channel closes in on 1.8M subscribers as cumulative views top 3.1 billion

Im Young-woong's official YouTube channel hit 1.79 million subscribers by noon on July 23, 2026. Ten thousand more and he reaches 1.8 million.

The channel holds 987 videos. Official music videos, concert clips, vlogs, short-form content. Views have climbed past 3.1 billion.

Earlier this month, his song 사랑은 늘 도망가 crossed 1 billion cumulative streams on Melon. The track came out October 11, 2021—so roughly 4 years and 9 months to get there. He now sits atop Melon's all-time cumulative streaming chart.

His SBS variety show 산골총각 영웅 pulled a 3.7% viewership rating for episode five on July 21. The network greenlit one more episode.

Im Young-woong debuted in 2016 with the digital single 미워요. He broke through nationally after winning TV Chosun's 내일은 미스터트롯 in 2020. (From a 2016 debut to the Melon all-time #1 and a 3.1-billion-view YouTube channel by 2026—that's the whole story.)
