Lim Kim's Early Life and Music Journey

Lim Kim was born in South Korea. For high school, she decided to study overseas. She attended Leonia High School in New Jersey, USA.

In 2011, while still in high school, she heard about auditions for the South Korean singing competition Superstar K3. She asked a fellow Korean student, Do Dae-yoon, to audition with her. Do Dae-yoon was known as a great guitarist at their school.

They formed a band called Togeworl and successfully passed the auditions. They then flew to Seoul, South Korea, to compete in the show.

Competing on Superstar K3
