Lim Hyun Joo Reveals Earnings Shock: Makes More from Instagram than Acting!
Actress Lim Hyun Joo has caused a stir with her recent comments about income. On the May 28, 2025 episode of the YouTube channel No-Bakku Tak Jae Hoon, she declared that her most significant paycheck comes from Instagram ads, not acting.
She first gained fame in the dating reality show Heart Signal.
“I barely make anything from acting. Right now, I make a living from Instagram ad revenue. It’s enough to get by," she stated, expressing disappointment over her YouTube subscriber count not hitting 100,000 yet.
Hyun Joo is still navigating her acting career. She mentioned:
“I’m looking into acting courses in London. I’d love to try a global character like a Bond girl. I’m also learning cello, horseback riding, and stretching. This is a time of training for me. I believe my moment will come."
Despite her struggles, she’s optimistic and focused on self-improvement.
Lim Hyun Joo has appeared in dramas such as A DeadbEAT’s Meal and A Superior Day.
