Biography[edit]

Kim was born in South Korea. For high school, she decided to go overseas, and attended Leonia High School in New Jersey.^[2] While attending high school in 2011, she heard about the New York City auditions for the South Korean singing competition Superstar K3. She asked a fellow Korean student Do Dae-yoon, who was known as a great guitarist at the school, to audition together, even though she did not know him well.^[3] He agreed, and they formed the band Togeworl. Togeworl managed to pass the audition, and flew to Seoul to compete. The duo were successful, and were picked to be mentored by singer-songwriter Yoon Jong-shin.^[4] Eventually they finished third in the competition, after Ulala Session and Busker Busker.^[5]

After the competition, Kim and Do remained in South Korea, where they continued to receive musical training, and signed a contract with Mystic89.^[4][5] Togeworl released their first song in February 2012 for the soundtrack for the TVN variety show The Romantic. Kim began attending high school in Bundang-gu, Seoul in March 2012.^[2]

In March 2012, Kim made an appearance in the drama Flower Band,^[6] and released 2 songs for the soundtrack, 'Two Months' and 'Love U Like U,' which was a duet with L from the boyband Infinite.

Though Togeworl planned to debut in 2013, member Do Dae-yoon had to return to the United States, due to issues with high school.^[7] Because of this, it was decided Kim should debut as a solo artist before reuniting as a duo.^[4]

In June 2013, Kim released the extended play A Voice, led by the song 'All Right.' The song was successful, reaching number two on Gaon's singles chart.^[8] Then, she released a second extended play in September, Her Voice, and a full-length album in November called Goodbye 20.

In April 2015, she released her third extended play, Simple Mind. The track 'Awoo' was the only K-pop song included on SPIN's 101 Best Songs of 2015, coming in at #51. In the article, Andrew Unterberger praised the song, saying 'no [American] pop song this year breathed like this Korean emoji of a pop song' and calling it 'a kinetic environment bursting with creativity, synthesis, and an intrinsic passion'.^[9]Billboard's 20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2015 ranked the song at #8, claiming that Kim outdid herself and praising the song's 'mix of woozy synths, trance-like chants, and trappy snares [...] pulled off with a sense of sophistication that's hard to make believable.'^[10]

On May 30, 2016, Mystic Entertainment posted an official statement announcing Kim's departure from the label after her contract has ended.^[11][12]

After an over-three-year hiatus, Lim Kim released 'Sal-Ki', her first published song as a rapper.^[13]
