Her Korean feature film credits include starring roles in "Ardor," "Yesterday," "Iron Palm," "Ginko Bed 2," "Diary of June" and the Japanese film "Rush," as well as roles in the television weekend dramas "With Love" and "Wedding Dress" and the miniseries "Hunch" and "Beautiful Vacation." She also guest hosted on ABC's "The View." She recently wrapped production on the Margaret Cho directed comedy, "Two Sisters," and the Korean crime thriller, "Seven Days.

Kim was the Goodwill Ambassador for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea, representing Korea. While born in Seoul, Korea, she grew up in Staten Island, New York. She attended the prestigious High School of Performing Arts in New York and received her BFA in acting from Boston University.
