He then posted moments of him flying the aircraft, accompanied by his flight instructor. “Time stops when you’re flying in the sky,” he wrote. 

Lim first shared that he enrolled in Topflite Aviation Academy in September. The following month, he posted a video of his first solo flight.

“Nothing compares to the thrill of taking flight and seeing the world from above. Here’s to new heights and unforgettable views,” he wrote in the caption. 

Lim recently co-starred in the TV series Love. Die. Repeat with Jennylyn Mercado. He also directed Kuman Thong, which premiered in July and was produced and co-written by his girlfriend, Iris Lee. It marked his third directorial film after 2019's psychological thriller Tabon and 2023's fantasy comedy Hello, Universe. He also directed an episode of GMA Network’s Wish Ko Lang in 2022.
