Pianist
Her first album, <Mozart Recital> has released on the Steinway & Sons Label in July 2023. Presented as ‘one to watch’ by Gramophone Magazine and ‘critics’ choice’ by International Piano Magazine, as well as one of the <Album of the Year> by Allmusic choice, her performance is described as having ‘expert finger legato and a sense of air between phrases that is easier to hear than to explain’ (Gramophone), ‘full of contrasts: serious, playful, extrovert, introspective, dancing, operatic... Kim’s playing delights and illuminates’ (classical-music.com).

She emerged not just as a skilled technician but a refined, probing artist.
Her rendition of Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit was notable not just for how easily she dispatched the finger-breaking, hand-twisting demands of the score, but the eerie tension she built across the work’s three ghoulish movements.
