With over a billion streams, numerous gold and platinum certifications, and two No. 1 albums in the last three years, he has long since secured a firm place at the top of the German-language music market.

Lim Young Woong celebrated their 10th anniversary by releasing a special digital album, ″IM HERO 10,″ on the 8th. The album includes six new songs and four remakes. The title track, ″TtoTto,″ centers on recurring emotions. The lyrics repeatedly use the word ″tto,″ as in ″You stole my heart again″ and ″You shake my head again,″ expressing feelings of love.

With a lively melody and cute lyrics, it is a song that anyone can easily sing along to. The song also includes the name of Lim Young Woong’s pet dog, Siwol, in the lyrics.

The music video, featuring Lim Young Woong, Siwol, and child actor Kim Jun, conveys the preciousness of those close to us with a charming and cozy atmosphere. Lim Young Woong participat
