Lim Young-woong's short film 'In October' will be released on Coupang Play and TVing on the 6th.
'In Octover' is a work about the protagonist hero overcoming various events and emotions that happen to him in a society devastated by the virus. Lim Young-woong takes on the role of the main character hero and challenges complex and subtle emotional acting.
What is interesting is that even though this is Lim Young-woong's first official acting challenge, there is no controversy or even a 'hate' response. It is a very different reaction from the official reaction of existing K-pop singers when they debuted as actors.
Of course, since Lim Young-woong, who reigns as one of the top three fandom holders along with BTS and IU, absolute support and support of the hero era were expected. In fact, Lim Young-woong received enthusiastic cheers from fans when he said in a solo concert 'I'm Hero-The Stadium' held at Seoul World Cup Stadium in May. From the fans' point of view, Lim Young-woong, who had few activities other than his main job as a singer, must have been proud and happy to try acting following entertainment programs such as 'You Quiz on the Block'You Quiz on the Block'Together,'Three Meals a Day'.

However, it is interesting that the general public is also looking forward to Lim Young-woong's transformation.
This seems to be due to Lim Young-woong's clever play. 'Heat' is a self-composed song released by Lim Young-woong ahead of his solo performance. Since it is already a familiar picture for singers to create various contents with their own songs, Lim Young-woong's debut as an actor is considered part of the new song promotion rather than an act of invading the territory.
In addition, he created a character who made the most of his strengths by making the music video into a 30-minute short film and writing the scenario himself, and recruited Ahn Eun-jin and actor Hyun Bong-sik, who rose to stardom with the drama 「Lover」, to build a natural axis to lean on.
Above all, Lim Young-woong did not simply approach acting. Lim Young-woong, who has often shown enthusiasm for acting by releasing short-form drama-style contents on his YouTube channel, did his best by receiving special training from an instructor who personally guides the acting of famous actors.
As such, a lot of support is focused on Lim Young-woong's challenge.
In particular, Lim Young-woong is the one who has already proved his powerful ticket power by selling out large-scale national tours for two consecutive years and attracting 250,000 viewers with a movie about the live performance of the show I'm Hero the Final. Attention is focusing on what other new records he will set through the new challenge.
