Lim Young-woong's YouTube hits 1.8M subscribers and 3.2B views

From 1M to 1.8M: six years of steady growth

Lim Young-woong's official YouTube channel passed 1.8 million subscribers on October 3, 2026. Cumulative views exceeded 3.2 billion. The growth started in October 2020, when the channel first hit 1 million.

The climb has been steady. 1.3 million in February 2022. 1.4 million by August that year. 1.5 million on May 2, 2023. 1.6 million on March 16, 2024. 1.7 million on February 23, 2025. Each gap between milestones has shrunk slightly, and the jump from 1.7M to 1.8M follows that trend.

What stands out is the channel's age. Lim Young-woong created it under his own name roughly five years before his 2011 debut—meaning the archive predates most of his professional discography by a significant margin.

The catalog keeping the numbers moving

Repeat visits come from songs across his entire output: 사랑은 늘 도망가, 모래 알갱이, 순간을 영원처럼, and 또또 (ToTo) are among the tracks cited as entry points. Some of the channel's newest subscribers arrived through IM HERO10, his 2026 project. Older songs stay in rotation while new releases keep arriving—that's the dynamic the view count reflects.

New releases are expected to continue. The catalog will keep expanding. So will the cumulative view counter.
