Career

YouTube

Im and Sarah Chu started the YouTube channel, ClothesEncounters, in 2010 while the two were living in Los Angeles. Their videos focused on affordable fashion and quickly developed a fanbase.[7] Chu left ClothesEncounters at the end of 2011 after Im moved away to attend the University of California, Davis.[8] Im continued to create videos for the channel, which garnered more than 319 million views by August 2019.[4] She currently has over 3.07 million subscribers on her YouTube channel.[9]

Collaborations

Im has collaborated with numerous beauty and fashion brands, including Calvin Klein, Levi's, Macy's, and Clinique.[4] In 2016, she released a makeup collection called "Jenn Ne Sais Quoi" with cosmetics brand ColourPop.[10]

Fashion line

In August 2017, Im launched a clothing line called Eggie, which is the Korean word for "baby" and a reference to Im's position as the youngest member of her family. The clothing line incorporated elements of Im's Korean heritage and also featured gender-neutral clothing items.[11] The line sold out within minutes of its online release. The line releases several collections a year.[5] On July 23, 2021, Im announced on her socials that after 3 years and 18 collections, Eggie would be closing its door as she begins to focus on her next chapter in life as a new mother.

Im's parents were born in South Korea. Her mother is a bank teller, and her father works in clothing manufacturing.[4] Im was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She has an older brother named James.
