Yim's career began in the mid-2010s, in indie stand-up shows in Toronto. They then were named to the Bob Curry fellowship for The Second City and worked as a juror for the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival.[3][4] In 2017, Flare named them one of Canada's Top 100 Notable Women.[5] They have also written for a number of publications, especially on topics of Korean-Canadian identity and racism in pop culture, including Vice and The Globe and Mail.[6][7][8]
In 2019, they were awarded the 2019 Canadian Women Artists' Award by the New York Foundation for the Arts.[9] In May that year, their play Not Only Is Everyone As Wonderful was produced at the National MFA Playwrights Festival.[10]
In 2020, they were hired by Saturday Night Live, the only new writer to be hired for the show during that hiring season and the first writer to identify as non-binary (a non-binary cast member wouldn't come until two years later with Molly Kearney).[11] In 2023, within the second-half of season 48, Yim became a writing supervisor for the show.[12]
