Club career

Kim signed with Busan IPark on 3 January 2017.[2] He was a regular starter for Busan in his first professional season, playing in a number of positions, including winger, wing-back and full-back.

In 2018, under new coach Choi Yun-kyum, Kim played more frequently at full-back. Despite only making 18 league starts, he was named in the K League 2 Best XI at the end of the season. The following year, Kim played almost exclusively at right-back under new coach Cho Deok-je. He was a regular fixture in the team that achieved promotion to the K League 1, and Kim was named in the league's Best XI for the second season in succession.

Kim signed with Los Angeles FC on 11 January 2021.[3]

International career

In 2018, Kim featured for the Korea Under-23 team in both the AFC U-23 Championship and the Asian Games. Korea were victorious in the latter, earning Kim and his teammates exemption from military service.

Kim's impressive performances at right-back earned him a full international call-up in September 2018. He made his debut as a substitute in a 2-0 win over Costa Rica on 7 September, and his first start came in the AFC Asian Cup against China on 16 January 2019.
