How did Lim Jae-Bum Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on January 4, 1994, in Going, South Korean, Lim Jae-Bum entered the showbiz after successfully auditioning for JYP Entertainment at the age of fifteen. By 2013, he had made his debut as a member of the boy band Got7. A year later, the group released their first studio album, Got It?, which effectively launched them into fame. To date, more than 61,000 copies have been sold across South Korea.
Later that same year, they also released their first chart-topper, Got Love, which proved to be an instant hit. Not long afterward, they accomplished the same results with their studio album, Identify, which has since sold over 91,000 units across Korea.
Since then, the singer has contributed to several of the group’s albums including Flight Log: Departure, 7 for 7, and Flight Log: Turbulence, among several others. By the mid-2010’s, Got7 had established themselves as one of the most popular boy bands in South Korea. Considering that, it wouldn’t be surprising if Jae-Bum were to have earned himself a decent amount from the said projects.
As you can probably expect, the boy band has also embarked on several concert tours since their formation in 2014. Not only that, but they regularly organize fan meetings across the world; most recently last year, that had greeted fans in Hong Kong.
In addition to his work with Got7, he’s also one-half of the pop duo, JJ Project with Jinyoung. Debuted in 2012, they recently dropped an album titled, Verse 2, which reached as high as number two on the music chart.
Music aside, the artist has also been involved with several TV shows since the early 2010’s. For instance, he had starred in the popular television drama, Dream High in 2012. Some of the other titles that he’s starred in include Dream Knight, and When a Man Falls in Love.
Besides acting, JB has also taken part in a few variety shows such as Celebrity Bromance, and Law of the Jungle. In 2012, he also co-hosted JJ Project Diary with Jinyoung.
