He went on to earn an MFA from New York University's Graduate Acting Program in 1996.

After graduation, Kim made a name for himself playing numerous roles in a wide variety of television programs.

He appeared in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as a treasury agent as well as episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Charmed, The Shield, Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, and ER.

From 2004 to 2010, Kim served as a regular cast member on the ABC series Lost, in which he played Jin-Soo Kwon, a lowly Korean fisherman-turned-hitman who crashes onto a mysterious island with his wife, Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim).

Since the role required him to speak exclusively in Korean, he said he was forced to quickly relearn the language, which he had not spoken with any great frequency since high school.

2005

Kim was also named one of People Magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" in 2005.

2006

Throughout the show's run, he, along with his fellow cast members, received numerous accolades, including a 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble.

In February 2010, shortly after Lost 's conclusion, it was announced that Kim would join the CBS reboot Hawaii Five-0 as Chin Ho Kelly, the role originally made famous by actor Kam Fong.

He was the first actor to be officially cast on the show.

That series premiered on September 20, 2010, to strong ratings and solid critical acclaim.

2013

In January 2016, it was announced Kim would make his Broadway debut as the King of Siam in Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I from May 3 – June 26, 2016, at the Lincoln Center Theatre in New York.

2017

He departed the show together with Grace Park, the female lead, in late June 2017 prior to the eighth season due to a salary dispute with CBS.

They had been seeking pay equality with co-stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan, but CBS would not agree to it.

It was the first time since the reboot started that the show did not feature any Asian actors in the main cast.

2019

Kim was born in Busan, South Korea, the son of mother Jung Kim and father Doo-tae Kim, but moved to the United States with his family when he was one year old.

He grew up in New York City, Easton, and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

He graduated from Freedom High School in Bethlehem in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.

In 2019, Kim played the role of Ben Daimio in the reboot film Hellboy.

He replaced Ed Skrein in the role to avoid a whitewashing controversy, as the character was Asian-American in the original comics.
