Born Kim Joonmin in Jeju Island, South Korea, Booster was adopted by an American couple as an infant.
He was raised in Plainfield, Illinois, in a "conservative, white, Evangelical Christian family" and was initially homeschooled.

Booster is gay and often talks about his sexuality in his stand-up.

During his senior year of high school, his parents found out his orientation by reading his diary where he had described his sexual encounters with other boys.
Booster moved out and began to couchsurf until he stayed with a family friend.
He moved to New York in 2014 to pursue a career in comedy.
He performed a set on Conan in 2016.
He then appeared in his own Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents special in 2017.
Booster has also written for the shows Billy on the Street, Big Mouth, and The Other Two.
On November 3, 2018, he released his debut stand-up album, Model Minority.
The material covers racism in the gay community, growing up Asian in a white community, and his own non-adherence to stereotypes about Asian Americans.
Booster has acted in various roles such as with Susan Sarandon in the YouTube original film Viper Club; on Netflix's The Week Of and on Hulu's Shrill starring Aidy Bryant.
He co-starred as Jun Ho in the NBC comedy series Sunnyside, which ran for one season.

Booster wrote and starred in the 2022 romantic comedy film Fire Island, streaming on Hulu and inspired by Pride and Prejudice.
The film received positive reception and was noted for its cinematography, faithfulness to Pride and Prejudice, and depiction of a loving friendship between Howie and Noah (played by Yang and Booster).
In 2022, he released a stand-up special on Netflix called Joel Kim Booster: Psychosexual.
Abbey White of The Hollywood Reporter described the special positively: "...Psychosexual offers a hilariously biting deconstruction and reconstruction of Booster’s identity onstage; a repudiation not only of himself as a representative or “role model” for his various communities, but an affirmation that as a comedian, his only job is to tell jokes — regardless of whether that speaks to any community at all."
Booster was called a Comic to Watch by Variety and one of Vulture's 20 Comedians You Should and Will Know, and was named a Forbes ' 30 Under 30 in Hollywood & Entertainment.
