In an interview with Volleyball World where she discussed her Olympic career and personal interests, Kim stated that her favorite idol group was BTS.

I’m quite old so I don’t have favorite celebrities, but I could say that I know some big celebrities in my country. But for my favorite Korean idol group, it would have to be BTS.
