In this paper, we consider a semi-linear elliptic equation in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $ with the nonlinear exponent approaching infinity. We study asymptotic behavior of sign-changing once radial solutions obtained by Bartsch-Willem in [3] and [16]. Assuming $ u_{p}(0)>0 $, we prove that a suitable rescaling of the positive part $ u^+_{p} $ converges to the unique regular solution of Liouville equation in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $, while a suitable rescaling of the negative part $ u^-_{p} $ converges to a solution of a singular Liouville equation in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $. We also obtain the asymptotic value of the $ L^\infty $-norms of $ u^-_{p} $ and $ u^+_{p} $. Moreover, we show that $ pu_p $ blow up at the origin and $ pu_p $ convergence to the fundamental solution of $ -\Delta +1 $ in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $ (up to a multiplier).

Keywords: Asymptotic behavior, blow-up analysis, Liouville equations.
