Kim appeared on the KBS Joy program “Ask Anything” that aired on the 23rd.
Asked how she has been doing, Kim said, “I’m not doing anything.” When Seo Jang-hoon asked, “Unemployed?” she nodded.
She said she is thinking about “how to live” her second chapter, adding that she retired about three weeks before the filming date.
Explaining her decision, Kim said she considers her peak as an athlete to have been the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. “My original dream was to win a gold medal at the Olympics and retire in that moment, but there was a bit of a setback when I won silver,” she said. She added that she did not compete in the latest trials and that she has considered retiring every year since Pyeongchang.
After Seo said she must have struggled when something she did not want happened at a young age, Kim said the experience made her feel she could handle whatever comes next. “I’ve become tougher than other people, and I’m confident I won’t break easily, so I want to try many different things,” she said.
