Prior to his Interpol career, Kim was Commissioner of Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency,[1] the law enforcement agency for South Korea's most populous province.
[2] As a police chief, Kim took part in efforts to spread South Korean policing strategies to other nations, including the Philippines, through financial assistance and training programs.
[6] Although Interpol Vice-President and Russian interior ministry official Alexander Prokopchuk had been widely tipped to be Meng's successor, at a meeting in Dubai on 18–21 November 2018 Kim was elected to serve the remaining two years of Meng's term.
[7][5] Prokopchuk's candidacy had been opposed by Western nations, which had objected to the Russian government's abuses of Interpol red notices to target dissidents and political opponents.
