Kim was born in South Korea. For high school, she decided to go overseas, and attended Leonia High School in New Jersey. While attending high school in 2011, she heard about the New York auditions for the South Korean singing competition Superstar K3. She asked a fellow Korean student Do Dae-yoon, who was known as a great guitarist at the school, to audition together, even though she did not know him well. He agreed, and they formed the band Togeworl. Togeworl managed to pass the audition, and flew to Seoul to compete. The duo were successful, and were picked to be mentored by singer-songwriter Yoon Jong Shin . Eventually they finishing third in the competition, after Ulala Session and Busker Busker.
After the competition, Kim and Do remained in South Korea, where they continued to receive musical training, and signed a contract with Mystic89. Togeworl released their first song in February 2012 for the soundtrack for the TVN drama The Romantic. Kim began attending high school in Bundang-gu, Seoul in March 2012.
In March 2012, Kim made an appearance in the drama 'Shut Up Flower Boy Band', and released a song for the soundtrack, "Love U Like U," which was a duet with L from the boyband Infinite (Korean: 인피니트).
Though Togeworl planned to debut in 2013, member Do Dae-yoon had to return to the United States, due to issues with high school. Because of this, it was decided Kim should debut as a solo artist before reuniting as a duo.
In June 2013, Kim released the extended play A Voice, lead by the song "All Right." The song was successful, reaching number two on Gaon's singles chart. Since then, she released a second extended play in September, Her Voice, and a full length album in November called Goodbye 20.

짧은 인사를 보낸다
아무리 멀리 떨어져 있어도
나는 널 생각하고 있어
늦은 밤 졸린 눈 비비며
너에게 편지를 쓸게
반가운 사진 속 그 표정만큼
아름다운 나날들이기를
어깨가 움추러들 때에도
너를 떠올린다면 씩씩한
표정 할수있어
알고있니 넌 나의 Number 1
두근대는 맘은
아직까지 여기에
언제까지나 My only one
좋아한단 말은
나를 웃음짓게 해
My number 1 My only one
때로는 지쳐 울어도
My number 1
I want to be with you
우 우 우 우
My number 1
눈을 감으니
꼭 곁에 있는것 같아
쨘 하고 나타날게
생각치 못한 어느 날
우연히 문득 뒤돌아 봤을 때
그때 꼭 내가 서 있을게
꼭 하고 껴안을게
가장 반가운 얼굴로
눈물이 왈칵 쏟아진다해도
나는 환하게 웃을거야
혹시 오늘 너에게
서러운 일이 생긴다면
오래 전 그 날처럼 달려가
