Kim began skipping the Korean men's team in 2013, winning a bronze medal at the renamed 2013 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. He won another bronze at the 2014 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships, a gold at the 2015 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships and another bronze at the 2016 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. The gold medal in 2015 qualified South Korea for the 2016 World Men's Curling Championship, where Kim would once again skip the Korean national team. There, Kim would lead his country to just two wins and nine losses, settling for 11th place.
