Kim is the first figure skater from Korea to win an ISU Championship (2006 World Junior Championships). She also was the first Korean to medal at an ISU Championship (silver at the 2005 World Junior Championships) and World Championships (bronze in 2007). In 2006, Kim has moved to Canada for training. Her coach Brian Orser is the 1984 and 1988 Olympic silver medallist. Kim missed the 2008 Four Continents Championships due to a back/hip injury. She switched coaches in summer 2010 and moved to the USA to train under Peter Oppegard, the 1988 Olympic Pairs bronze medalist (with Jill Watson). Kim didn't compete all season and decided to return to competition only for the 2011 World Championships. She moved back to Korea in 2011. Kim didn't compete in the 2011/12 season but returned to competition in fall 2012.
