Kim is the first figure skater from Korea to win an ISU Championship (2006 World Junior Championships). She also was the first Korean figure skater to medal at Olympic Games (gold in 2010) and 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. 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.
