At the 2013 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships, Kim won bronze in the women's team pursuit with Noh Seon-yeong and Park Do-yeong. She also placed 11th in the women's 1500 metres and 9th in the women's 3000 metres. Later that year, she participated at the 2013 Winter Universiade, winning gold in the women's 1500 metres and women's team pursuit (with Park Do-yeong and Yang Shin-young), as well as silver in the women's 3000 metres and women's 5000 metres. A few months later, she finished 21st in the women's 1500 metres and 13th in the women's 3000 metres at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The South Korean women's team pursuit team of Kim, Noh Seon-yeong and Yang Shin-young also finished last of eight at the Games. She tore her anterior cruciate ligament during the women's 5000 metres, restricting her appearances for the rest of the season.
