Trot Star Im Young-woong Sells Out Gocheok Sky Dome Shows Within Minutes
Trot singer Im Young-woong has extended his remarkable sold-out streak after tickets for his January 2026 Seoul concerts disappeared within minutes of going on sale.
The ticket sales for Im Young-woong's IM HERO tour at Gocheok Sky Dome opened on December 4, 2025 at 8 PM KST through NOL Ticket. All three shows scheduled for January 16-18, 2026 sold out completely in rapid fashion, continuing the pattern established throughout his nationwide tour.
The sellout marks another milestone for the 36-year-old singer, who has achieved complete ticket sellouts across every city on his 2025-2026 tour. The Gocheok Sky Dome concerts will accommodate roughly 18,000-20,000 fans per show, making them among his largest indoor performances.
Im Young-woong recently completed two weekends of shows at KSPO DOME from November 21-23 and November 28-30. The final November 30 performance was livestreamed on TVING, allowing fans unable to secure tickets to watch remotely.
His IM HERO tour began in Incheon in October before moving to Daegu and Seoul. The concerts feature elaborate production including three-sided screens, live band performances, and the popular "Hero Song Party" segment where Im takes spontaneous song requests from fans.
Following the Gocheok Sky Dome shows, Im Young-woong will continue his tour with performances in Gwangju (December 19-21, 2025), Daejeon (January 2-4, 2026), and Busan (February 6-8, 2026).
Im Young-woong rose to fame through TV Chosun's "Mr. Trot" in 2020 and has since become one of South Korea's top-selling solo artists. His second album "IM HERO 2," released in August 2025, serves as the foundation for the current tour.
