Lim was a first-round draft pick in 2014 from Deoksugo with a signing bonus of 200 million South Korean won ($180,000) and an annual salary of 24 million won ($22,000)[2] Lim played at shortstop in high school but switched to the outfield with Nexen. He wears number 0 because it resembles the Hangul jamo ㅇ which appears in his name three times.[3]
