Kim debuted as an actor in live theater. She subsequently made her film debut in 2006 with "Solace" and made her mark on the small screen through JTBC series "Thirty-Nine" (2022) and "Artificial City" (2021).

Based on the webtoon “D.P: Dog Days” by Kim Bo-tong, the series tells the story of the deserter pursuit team in the Korean military. The team’s mission is to track down soldiers who have deserted their bases. Season 1 starred actors Jung Hae-in, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim Sung-kyun and Son Suk-ku.

Late last year, “D.P.” was selected as one of the “Best TV Shows of 2021” by The New York Times.
