Not known for his batting, Kim was an excellent utility infielder and was a key component to the defensive formula of the Samsung Lions in the late-1990s.

After a career year in 2004 Kim was signed as a free agent by the SK Wyverns and played there until 2007 when he announced retirement.
Kim served as the infield instructor of the SK Wyverns reserve team.
