Biography[]
Kim first appeared with his men brutally beating U.S. prosecutor Daniel Hayes to death in a secluded forest in Hawaii, an act of which was witnessed by young surfer and dirt bike racer Sean Jones. Though Sean managed to escape from the crime scene on his dirt bike, Kim learned of Sean's witnessing and subsequently sent his men to track down Sean and kill him. Fortunately, FBI agent Neville Flynn came to the rescue as he escorts Sean away from Kim's thugs, planning to have him transported back to Los Angeles so that he can testify at court against Kim for Hayes' murder.
Anticipating that Sean and Flynn would board a plane to head back to Los Angeles, Kim devised a plan to put a time-release crate full of venomous snakes inside the cargo hold of a Boeing 747-400 jet airliner South Pacific Air Flight 121 in order to kill them. This act is what caused many passengers and crew (including the pilots) to be killed by the snakes, though a handful of people (including Sean and Neville) managed to survive.
Eventually, FBI agent Hank Harris soon learns that Kim has a connection with a snake dealer. To that end, Harris and his men track down the snake dealer, who confessed that Kim paid him to sell the snakes for his plot and that they sprayed pheromones on the snakes so that they could attack the occupants unprovoked.
In the end, just as Sean and Neville manage to land the plane safely in LAX with the other survivors, Harris orders for the arrest of Kim and his men for multiple accounts of murder and attempted murder. His final fate is unknown, but it's implied that Kim will be executed for his crimes, either by gas or lethal injection.
