In 2004, he was arrested for embezzlement and bribery charges and sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison.[8][12]

Kim has served as president of the Korean Olympic Committee, president of the 2002 Pusan Asian Games organization committee, president of the Korea Taekwondo Association, president of World Taekwondo Headquarters (Kukkiwon), an ambassador at large with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, co-chairman of the Rebuilding Korea Committee, and internationally, he was the president of GAISF, executive board member of the IOC, chairman of the IOC Radio and Television Commission, and president of the World Taekwondo Federation.[8][9]

In December 2017 he posthumously appeared on the cover of Tae Kwon Do Life Magazine in an issue dedicated to his contribution to the globalization of Taekwondo.[13]
