Kim is a bilingual Korean-American who has previously worked as a manager and translator for players in multiple esports titles. While also serving as the team's general manager, she will also be in the unique position to serve as a liaison between an English-speaking local fanbase and an all-Korean roster still in the process of learning English.
With the transaction deadline set for April 3, Kim joins just a bit too late to add anyone to the 11-player roster. Nonetheless, she begins her tenure as general manager of the Spitfire immediately.
