Lim first debuted in the 2002 KBS2 drama “Whenever the Heart Beats,” but it was her appearance on the groundbreaking reality program “Romance in the Alps: War of the Roses” (tentative title) that catapulted her into national fame.

The series, a forerunner of today’s “I Am Solo,” captivated viewers with its then-revolutionary format, placing male and female contestants together in a scenic mountain lodge as they explored romantic connections.

Her pure and charming visuals, combined with a sweet demeanor, made her a fan favorite. Lim even won the hearts of fellow contestants, including singer Lee Sung-jin, and drew comparisons to modern reality dating icons. During a recent guest appearance on MBC “FM4U’s 2 O’clock Date,” host Ahn Young-mi said, “You were like the OG Ok-soon. Everyone voted for you.”
