The concert comes before the album
'IM HERO 10' arrives on September 8. Yet the stages for all ten of its songs are unveiled first at this run, starting today and lasting three nights.
Usually the recording comes first and the concert follows. Singing songs the audience already knows is what a concert is built on.
This time the order is reversed. The audience hears ten songs they have never heard, live, before any recording exists. The album that arrives four days later becomes the place where that memory gets confirmed.
What the ten songs are
The album is six new songs and four remakes. The new ones are 'Moise', 'New York', 'Baila', 'ToTo', 'May You Be Happy' and 'To Us Who Have Lived'.
The four remakes are Lim Young-woong's own earlier releases: 'Love Always Runs Away', 'Grain of Sand', 'A bientôt' and 'I Hate You'. 'I Hate You' is the debut digital single from August 8, 2016.
For an album named as a tenth-anniversary special, the shape fits — new songs alongside a re-recording of the very first one. The starting point sits inside the album.
A post office for letters
Outside the venue there is an 'IM HERO Post Office' where letters addressed to Lim Young-woong get delivered. There is also a commemorative stamp booth and photo zones, and a pre-show event begins forty minutes before the main set.
The post office suits the direction of the concert. Something travels from the seats to the stage, not only the other way.
Before you go
The run is three nights from today — the 4th, 5th and 6th.
Goyang Stadium's main ground is outdoors. Early-September evenings swing between day and night temperatures, so bring a layer.
The pre-show event starts forty minutes before the concert; arrive then and you have time for the post office and the photo zones.
My bag's already packed.
