Singer Im Young-woong marked his 10th debut anniversary Saturday with a message of gratitude to his fans.

A post on Im's official social media account celebrated "the 10th debut anniversary of artist Im Young-woong and 10 years with Yeongwoong Sidae," the name of his fandom. "Always stay healthy and happy! 'Geonhaeng' (short for health and happiness)," the post read, accompanied by a photo of Im holding a cake.

Im debuted in the music industry on Aug. 8, 2016, with the single "Miwoyo." In 2020, he won the top prize — known as "jin" — on TV Chosun's trot music competition show "Mr. Trot," showcasing his exceptional vocal ability.

Im won wide acclaim with songs including "I Only Trust You Now," "Love Always Runs Away" and "My Love Like Starlight," and in 2024 held his first stadium concert at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Im is set to hold his second stadium show, "IM HERO-THE STADIUM 2," at Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province from Aug. 4 to 6.
