The suburban landscape of Incheon features heavily in her debut work Sentimenteoldo haruiteul (센티멘털도 하루이틀 Sentimentality Works Only for a Day or Two). With both her parents working, she was often left home alone during her childhood. According to an interview, she began writing fiction to cope with years of pent-up loneliness and anger.

Although Kim has written fewer stories about fathers since her first book, her works still show sympathy with the old. “Jo Junggyuneui segye” (조중균의 세계 The World of Jo Jung-gyun) is a short story about the anonymous poets of a bygone era who resisted South Korea’s former authoritarian government, and “Sesilia” (세실리아 Cecilia) recounts the past of a rape victim and social outcast.

She made her literary debut in 2009 when her short story “Neoui dokyumeonteu” (너의 도큐먼트 Your Document) won the Korea Times New Writer’s Contest. She published her first short story collection Sentimenteoldo haruiteul (센티멘털도 하루이틀 Sentimentality Works Only for a Day or Two) in 2014. The book won the 33rd Sin Dong-yup Prize for Literature. Her short story “Jo Junggyuneui segye” (조중균의 세계 The World of Jo Jung-gyun) received the 6th Munhakdongne Young Writers’ Award in 2015.

In 1998, Kim enrolled in the Korean literature program at Inha University. Kim recalls being “a Korean literature nerd who loved fiction and only wanted to write fiction.” Upon graduation, she joined a publisher as an editor. She perceived both social injustices and opportunities for social solidarity during her tenure at the publisher. In particular, she was frustrated at the company’s heavy-handed behavior toward its employees, treating salary payments as a charitable act rather than fair compensation for their work. This was how, she believed, the company forced workers into submission. At the same time, however, she met good colleagues and observed a strong bond between workers.

Kim restores the values of old or forgotten things. Many of the short stories in her debut work Sentimenteoldo haruiteul (센티멘털도 하루이틀 Sentimentality Works Only for a Day or Two) are about fathers who were heroes of a previous generation but now have no place to stand. For example, “Neoui dokyumeonteu” (너의 도큐먼트 Your Document) is about a woman who goes around town holding a map to look for her runaway father. “Aideul” (아이들 Children) is also about a woman’s journey to understand the lives of her parents who worked all their lives to realize their middle-class dream.
