Singer Im Young-woong, known to fans as "Hero," is returning in his 10th debut anniversary year.

His agency, Mulgogimusic, announced Friday that Im will release a special digital album, "IM HERO 10," across major online music platforms on Sept. 8.

Ahead of the release, the agency unveiled the album's track list. The record is packed with new songs showcasing fresh musical directions alongside remake tracks chosen for their emotional resonance.

Six original tracks make up the new-song lineup: "Moise," "New York," "Baila," "Ddoddo," "Budi Haengbokhaeijil Geot" and "Saraon Uriege" — a set the agency says will demonstrate Im's expanded musical range across genres.

Several beloved hits will also receive new interpretations. Four songs will appear in remade versions: chart-topping megahits "Love Always Runs Away," "Grain of Sand" and "A Bientot," as well as "I Hate You," his debut single.

Im will give fans their first listen to the new material at his 2026 concert, running Thursday through Saturday at Goyang Stadium — the opening stop of his nationwide tour.
