Zin Lim was born in Seoul, South Korea and received a B.F.A. in 2000 in Industrial Design (Environmental) from Hong Ik University. That same year, Zin Lim moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. There Zin Lim received his second B.F.A. in 2003 and a Masters of Fine Art in 2006 from the Academy of Art University.

Zin Lim dedicated his school time to achieve solid craftsmanship in representational oil painting. Simultaneously, Lim spent half of his time studying the Non-Representational realm, due to Zin Lim's belief that each of these disparate structures not only complements the other but also increases space of creative potentiality between them.
