Before fame

Kahyun Kim's journey to mainstream success was characterized by daring and hard work, taking part in arts education, and the difficult immigration process as a young artist. Kim is a South Korean native who was surrounded by a healthcare environment as her mother worked in the hospital. In fact, she volunteered in the middle school nurse's office.

While growing up, she was introduced to classical ballet, but her mother realized that she was quite vibrant and energetic in personality, and that her lifestyle was not suitable for a classical ballet dancer. Kim then turned her attention towards musical theatre, though she confessed that she wasn't the best singer, but that ultimately she settled for just acting.

Trivia

Following her drama studies, Kim started auditioning for television guest stars and independent films in Los Angeles and New York, in a sporadic fashion. She has appeared in minor roles on NBC's The Mysteries of Laura (2015), Disney Channel's Austin & Ally (as Sun Hee) and Showtime's Shameless.

She got a part in the critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ Korean American drama Spa Night (2016) that was first presented at the Sundance Film Festival. She then did smaller films such as the thriller Bad Match (2017). In 2018, she played the character Torrey Min in Disney's musical movie remake of Freaky Friday.

She featured in the romance drama Fire Island in 2022, and did a few high-profile network guest appearances on Grey's Anatomy, 9-1-1, and The Rookie: Feds.

Kim was given an extensive wide release after being cast as Beth the Paramedic in the Universal Pictures comedy-horror movie Cocaine Bear, helmed by Elizabeth Banks (2023). Kim was cast as a regular cast member on the workplace mockumentary comedy St. Denis Medical for NBC in late 2024. She played the role of Serena, a big-mouth and no-nonsense travel nurse, and was one of the cast members nominated for Best Comedy Series in 2025 by the critics.
