Career edit

Early career edit

2009–10 season: First senior national title edit

Placing first in both the short program and the free skate, she won the gold medal with 148.78 points. In April 2010, she won the novice title at the 2010 Triglav Trophy, earning 144.11 points. Her score was one of the best among the skaters who competed and the best among all the ladies. Had she competed on the senior level, she would have won the competition.

2010–11 season: Junior Grand Prix debut edit

Kim was assigned to 2010–11 ISU Junior Grand Prix events in Japan and Germany. However, her foot was injured by another skater's skate blade in training,^[8] resulting in her withdrawal from the Japan event. She made her junior international debut at the event in Germany, finishing 28th. At the 2011 South Korean Championships, she placed third in the short program scoring 46.82 points, and won the free skate with 98.47 to win her second national title.

2011–12 season edit

The following season, Kim was assigned to the 2011–12 ISU Junior Grand Prix events in Brisbane, Australia, and in Brasov, Romania. She won the short program in Brisbane with 52.26, but fell four times in the free skate, earning 78.76, to finish 5th with 131.02. In Brasov, Kim was placed sixth with 44.78 after one of her spins were considered invalid, but rebounded to third with 99.83, earning the bronze medal with a total score of 144.61. Kim then participated in the 2012 World Junior Championships and earned 51.56 in the short program and 98.15 in the free skate, finishing 8th overall with the total score of 149.71.^[9]

In her first event in Austria, Kim placed third in the short program, with her triple toe-loop - triple toe-loop combination, receiving her new personal best of 54.46. However, she dropped to fifth after the free skate, where she had some trouble with her jumps. However, two weeks later, in Slovenia, she rebounded to first in the short program, and strong consistency of jumps and high levels of other elements with strong choreography helped her defend her placement in the free skate. With the total of 147.30, she became the first South Korean woman to stand on the top of the podium since Kim Yuna, the 2010 Olympic Champion, won two golds in the 2005–06 ISU Junior Grand Prix. This made her first alternate to the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final.

She was selected to represent her country at the 2014 Winter Olympics with her national teammates, Kim Yuna and Park So-youn. She was 18th after the short program and placed 16th overall. In March, she placed 23rd at the 2014 World Championships.
