Then at the age of 16 he learned about the United States Naval Special Warfare Command and found his career path.
‘Going into the Navy was the best decision I ever made in my life because it completely transformed that scared boy who didn’t have any dreams to someone who started to believe in himself,’ he said.
Kim graduated from high school in 2002 and enlisted in the US Navy. He was assigned to SEAL Team Three.
He was commissioned as an officer through the Navy’s enlisted-to-officer commissioning program after he graduated from the University of San Diego with a math degree in 2012.

‘There wasn’t much I could do, just make sure his bleeding wasn’t obstructing his airway, making sure he was positioned well,’ Kim said in an interview with the Harvard Gazette. ‘He needed a surgeon. He needed a physician and I did eventually get him to one, but … that feeling of helplessness was very profound for me.’
Kim was a resident physician in emergency medicine with Partners Healthcare at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital when he was selected to be an astronaut in June 2017.
‘I was happy, jubilated, excited — all these emotions,’ Kim said on the moment he found out he was selected by NASA for its next astronaut class.

In the grueling training process the group trained in spacewalking, robotics, International Space Systems, T-38 jet proficiency and Russian language, according to Task and Purpose.
Now he‘s eagerly awaiting his first assignment, likely to the moon, then beyond.
