Biography

In 2000, Kim suffered a spinal cord injury while working at a chemical plant, paralyzing his lower extremities.[5] In 2003, Kim spent three months at the National Rehabilitation Center in Seoul and discovered para-badminton which would eventually become one of his hobbies. He eventually turned the hobby into a career and began competing in international para-badminton tournaments.

In 2008, Kim participated in the 2008 Asian Paralympic Badminton Championships in Bangalore and won first place in both the men's singles event and the men's doubles event.[6]
