While he was attending the Chin Chin Song Festival in Busan, Star Empire recruited him as a trainee.[9] He entered a nine-member group called "Children of Empire", where he trained for three years. In 2009, the group started doing guerrilla performances around the country.[10] On January 7, 2010, the group debuted with their EP, Nativity under the name ZE:A.[11] He is also a member of the sub-unit, ZE:A-Five.[12]
Acting
Yim joined the cast of the period dramaMoon Embracing the Sun (2012), playing the young version of Heo Yeom.[13][14] Moon surpassed 40% ratings and gained "national drama" status, launching Yim to fame.[15] Later that year, Yim was cast in the revenge drama Man from the Equator, playing a cold young man with a sad story behind his negative outlook on life.[16] This was followed by the sitcomStandby (2012)[17] and Drama SpecialWaiting for Love (2013).[18]
In September 2013
