Singer Lim Young-woong shared a story of a pure confession he prepared for a girl he had a crush on during his school days, presenting both laughter and a mature charm to his fans.

On a previously aired variety show, Lim Young-woong revealed the behind-the-scenes story of attempting a "candle event," much like a scene from a drama, for his past crush. He recalled deciding to confess under the influence of a popular drama at the time, making thorough preparations by lining up numerous candles in a playground.

Lim Young-woong confessed, "Back then, I thought all women would like those kinds of events," and added, "I blindly told her to come to the playground without any prior explanation," drawing sighs from the cast. However, contrary to his ambitious preparations, his crush never showed up at the playground, and the event ended in a hollow failure.

In particular, he made the studio burst into laughter by adding the sad backstory of having to blow out the candles alone, saying, "Back then, I didn't use low candles like people do now, but set up long ones, and I struggled to keep putting them back up as they kept falling over".

In response to Lim Young-woong's candid confession, fans showed enthusiastic reactions, such as "Lim Young-woong was pure in front of a crush too," "It's a relief she didn't show up," and "Even a failed event feels like a narrative when it's Lim Young-woong".

Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong is currently solidifying his position as a "master of emotion," receiving nationwide love regardless of age or gender with his unparalleled singing ability and kind fan service.
