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.[6] Chu left ClothesEncounters at the end of 2011 after Im moved away to attend the University of California, Davis.[7] Im continued to create videos for the channel, which garnered more than 319 million views by August 2019. She currently has over 3.07 million subscribers on her YouTube channel.[8]

Collaborations

Im has collaborated with numerous beauty and fashion brands, including Calvin Klein, Levi's, Macy's, and Clinique. In 2016, she released a makeup collection called "Jenn Ne Sais Quoi" with cosmetics brand ColourPop.[9]

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.[10] The line sold out within minutes of its online release. The line releases several collections a year. On July 23, 2021, Im announced on her socials that after 3 years and 18 collections, Eggie would be closing its doors to focus on her next chapter in life as a new mother.

Personal life

Im's parents were born in South Korea. Her mother is a bank teller, and her father works in clothing manufacturing. Im was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She has an older brother named James. She studied in community college before she transferred to the University of California, Davis and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Communications Studies in 2013.[11] [12]

On March 26, 2017, Im married Ben Jolliffe, former drummer for the British alternative rock band Young Guns. They held their wedding ceremony in Malibu on August 18, 2018.[13] [14] In May 2024, Im announced that, after six years of marriage, she and Joliffe had decided to separate, while remaining friends and co-parenting their son, Lennon.[15] [16]
