Career
The name 'Lim Sang-choon' is a pen name derived from the Chinese characters "想賰," which means "plentiful imagination". Lim aims to tell stories through the characters in her work rather than being illuminated as an artist, hence her use of a pen name. In 2017, during the press conference for Fight for My Way, she was inevitably revealed to be a woman in her early 30s. However, she stated that she wanted to remain anonymous and would not reveal any more personal information. If her identity are to be revealed, she plans to write under a different pen name. Consequently, she was absent from all awards ceremonies she was invited to.
Prior of becoming a writer, in her late 20s Lim was working at a company. Writer Lim says she dreamed of becoming a writer after seeing people being happy watching dramas.
"I saw people smiling while watching dramas on their cell phones on the bus going home with their tired bodies. I thought I should write a drama that makes people happy."
