Singer Lim Chang-jung's son joins KPGA as professional golfer

Lim Jun-woo, the eldest son of singer Lim Chang-jung, has earned professional status with the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA).

Lim joined the KPGA as a professional in May, according to Sports Kyunghyang. His professional registration number is 9468.

However, he holds associate membership — a status previously known as "semi-pro" — rather than full tour-pro membership.

Lim had previously showcased his golf skills alongside his father on the SBS variety program "Pyeonmeokgo Gongchiri (072) Season 3," which aired in 2022.

Lim played baseball as a child but developed a passion for golf after attending a tournament with his father, eventually switching his career path to the sport.

Meanwhile, Lim Chang-jung made his debut as a singer in 1995 and remarried Seo Ha-yan in 2017. He has five sons in total — three from his previous marriage and two with Seo.
