Kim Kuk-hyang (Korean pronunciation: [kim.ɡu.kʰjaŋ] or [kim] [ku.kʰjaŋ]; born 20 April 1993) is a North Korean weightlifter who won the silver medal in the women's +75 kg weight class at the 2015 Asian Weightlifting Championships.

[2] Kuk-hyang was born in Changyon County, South Hwanghae Province, North Korea.

She was noticed by weightlifting coach Kim Myong Ho at a hospital in Pyongyang when helping her mother get medical treatment; she was helping her mother up the stairs when the coach asked if she wanted to become a weightlifter.

As her mother's health was failing, the coach would often visit her in hospital and promised to raise her daughter.

After recuperating, she was looked after by national-level coaches and a medical group, who oversaw her nutrition using a scientific approach.
