She gained international attention with her role in A Brand New Life (2009), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. She further sealed her reputation with acclaimed performances in The Man from Nowhere (2010)—South Korea’s highest-grossing film that year—and The Neighbour (2012), which earned her award recognition.

However, Kim largely withdrew from public life in 2022 following a drunk driving incident. She was fined 20 million won (£11,000) in April 2023 for the offence. The controversy led to the editing out of most of her scenes in her last role in Netflix’s 2023 drama Bloodhounds.
