Kim claimed the existence of the Chin-Lo, Kyungrak, or Bonghan system, a system of pathways which he proposed form a basis for acupuncture points and meridians.
While working as director of North Korea's Kyung-Rak institute (KRI) from 1962 to 1965, Kim published five articles in the Journal of Jo Sun Medicine, about acupuncture, the Kyungrak system, and the "Sanal" theory.
He was awarded the People's Prize for his work on 2 February 1962.

In 1966, the Kyung-Rak institute was closed and Kim disappeared.
In 1966, the Kyung-Rak research institute was shut down.

The primo-vascular system was claimed to be scientifically confirmed in 2002, but the matter remains controversial.

There is credible scientific evidence that these structures exist.
These articles form the basis of the proposed primo-vascular system, which attracted some interest as late as in the early 2010s.
The North Korean government supported Kim's research by supplying his team with various analytical instruments such as microscopes and radioactive tracers, most of which were imported from Eastern Europe.
