Remaining at 196 cm tall, the Korea Republic and Jeonbuk Motors man has a place with a little gathering of transcending focus advances, for example, Ali Daei, Peter Crouch and Nikola Zigic.
Gloating remarkable ethereal capacity and physical qualities, the forcing striker is a bad dream for protectors. Beside scoring consistently for both club and nation, Kim, nicknamed "Chinook" (Boeing CH-47 Chinook), is outstanding for setting up partners.
Such characteristics were superbly shown in the qualifying decider against Uzbekistan, when he gestured the ball into the way of Koo Jacheol to score the leveler which fixed Korea Republic's section to Russia 2018.
"I'm fundamentally an objective man and headers are my claim to fame, obviously," the 30-year-old told FIFA.com. "As a forward, I'm nothing on the off chance that I can't score. That spurs me all the time since I generally attempt to score regardless of whether I'm feeling the squeeze."
Kim isn't, however, a characteristic striker. He was played as a cautious player amid his initial vocation yet was pushed forthright after he joined Ulsan Hyundai in 2009. "There were such huge numbers of advances sidelined because of damage around then and the mentor came to me inquiring as to whether I could go up there, which ended up being an extraordinary choice," he reviewed.
It was, in fact. The changed over forward has flourished at the purpose of the assault, getting the attention both locally and globally on account of his goalscoring rate. Crosswise over seven seasons with Ulsan, Kim indented 81 objectives from 251 appearances in all rivalries. Since moving to Jeonbuk two years prior, he has figured out how to score 17 times.
Considerably more noteworthy is that he has two FIFA Club World Cups added to his repertoire - with Ulsan in 2012 and Jeonbuk in 2016. Add to that two FIFA World Cup appearances at Brazil 2014, in spite of the fact that he neglected to locate the back of the net in matches Korea Republic lost. It is an affair he is clearly quick to place right in Russia.
Presently however, Kim trusts that they can compensate for the failure, in spite of the way that they are set in a considerably harder gathering than four years back subsequent to being drawn close by Germany, Mexico and Sweden.
"It's totally extraordinary this time, since we're in an exceptionally troublesome gathering – some say it's the most exceedingly bad conceivable situation. In any case, we're all around arranged under another mentor, and we'll endeavor to wind up a unit and play our best football there. On the off chance that that is conceivable, we'll have the capacity to conquer the primary obstacle."
Separately, Kim has prepared to make up for himself on the worldwide scene. Considering his ongoing productive frame - he has scored five times in six matches to enable Jeonbuk to be one of the shape group's in the 2018 AFC Champions League - Kim normally harbors high expectations making a beeline for Russia.
"Any reasonable person would agree that I've set up myself in the national group, as I'm gaining ground by and by and as a cooperative person. I've been anxious to return more grounded this time around, and I will demonstrate what I'm equipped for [in Russia]."
Should Kim break his World Cup duck, hope to see a mark objective festival. A committed Christian, Kim is known for perusing the Bible before taking to the pitch.
"Perusing the Holy Bible is about my confidence, and I for one play my amusement for God. The reason I commend each objective with my knees on the ground and my arms held up above, is to impart the wonder to Him."
