Kim started skating at the age of 11 as a means of physical therapy for his health.

In the 2010–11 season, he won the junior men’s title at the 2011 South Korean Championships.

In June 2011, Kim sustained an injury to his left eardrum after falling on a rainy day during an outdoor practice session. The fall resulted in 80% of his left eardrum being torn and the need for surgery to replace the lost tissues. Despite being only partially recovered from the injury, Kim participated in the qualifying event for the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series but was unsuccessful. A few months later, in January 2012, he competed in the senior men’s event at the 2012 South Korean Championships.

At this event, he surpassed the minimum TES for the Worlds in his nearly-clean free-skate. At the JGP Croatia, Kim had a few mistakes in the short placing in eighth, but again rebounded in the free skate to place second in the free skate. With a total of 176.43, he placed in the fourth position. After two JGP events, he competed at the NRW Trophy to get the minimum TES for the short program. He skated a clean short program and qualified for the 2013 World Championships in London, Ontario, Canada. In the short program, he landed a clean triple axel and triple lutz with connecting steps and stepped out of his triple toe-loop triple toe-loop combination. He placed 26th in the short and just missed qualifying for the free skate by a point and a half.
