Biography

Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea on August 29, 1989. She began professional modeling in 2007 when she participated in a modeling contest.[3] During her short career she modeled mainly in the runway scene, walking for numerous fashion brands. She also had an endorsement deal with a car brand in 2009.[2]

Her mother died of a heart attack in 2009, and her father died of cancer in early 2011.[1] After that, her grandmother was her only remaining family member.[4]
