Trot superstar Im Young-woong is preparing to launch his 2025 nationwide tour while broadcaster Kwak Sun-hee has publicly announced her marriage to a same-sex partner, creating major buzz in the Korean entertainment industry. Both developments represent significant milestones in domestic entertainment.
Largest Scale Nationwide Tour Launch
Fish Music announced the "IM HERO TOUR 2025" schedule through official social media earlier this month. The massive tour begins with performances at Incheon Songdo Convensia from October 17-19 and continues through February 2026, expecting to attract over 500,000 total audience members.

Seoul's six KSPO DOME shows particularly demonstrate Im Young-woong's explosive popularity, with ticket wars already anticipated among fans.
Second Studio Album "IM HERO 2" Release Imminent
Im Young-woong is also preparing to release his second studio album "IM HERO 2" on the 29th, alongside the concert tour. Expectations are high for his evolved musical transformation based on his previous work's emotional vocals and diverse genre adaptability.
Industry officials expect "Im Young-woong's new album will showcase a broad musical spectrum transcending trot, becoming the biggest topic in the second half of 2025's music industry combined with the nationwide tour."
Kwak Sun-hee's Marriage Announcement in US
Meanwhile, broadcaster Kwak Sun-hee has created significant buzz by publicly announcing her marriage to a same-sex partner. Kwak revealed through social media that she will "hold wedding vows in the US in November and is currently cohabiting."
