Tae Hwan Kim

Tae Hwan Kim is a South Korean professional poker player whose presence in the tournament circuit has been modestly documented. While detailed biographical information is scarce, his recorded cashes place him within the competitive Asian poker landscape.

Kim's first publicly recorded live cash occurred at the 2025 Asia Poker Tour (APT) Taipei series. In the Double Stack event (May 3-4, 2025), he navigated a field of 930 entries to finish 42nd, earning $1,600 (approximately 48,700 New Taiwan Dollars). The tournament had a buy-in of 20,000 TWD.

Photographic evidence also places him at the Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT) 19, though specific results from that event are not available in public databases.

Based on available data from Somuchpoker, Kim's total live earnings in the Asia-Pacific region amount to $1,575 (as of early 2026). He has attended only one recorded event, achieving a single in-the-money finish, resulting in a perfect 100% cash rate. His Somuchpoker Performance Index (SMP) score for that event is 378.04.

Due to the extreme scarcity of hand histories, opponent interviews, or detailed tournament reports, no reliable assessment of Kim's playing style can be made. His performance in the APT Double Stack suggests a solid understanding of tournament fundamentals, but concrete tendencies remain unknown.

No personal information—such as birth year, educational background, or poker career start date—has been made public. Like many Asian players, Kim's exposure in Western media is minimal, and his profile may grow as the Asian poker circuit becomes more transparent.
