Kim was born in South Korea and came to New Zealand in 2013. During his high school years he attended Sacred Heart Collage; his time there allowed him to develop a keen interest in sports. Through his involvement in rugby Kim required 2 major knee surgeries and his experience as a patient led to his interest in lower limb injury and rehabilitation.

He spends most of his spare time at the gym and he is very passionate about weightlifting and bodybuilding.
