Kim Kyeong-ae, nicknamed "Steak"[1] (born 21 January 1994) is a South Korean curler. Her sister is also an international curler, Kim Yeong-mi.

Junior career

Kim played in five straight Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships playing for South Korea, from 2010 to 2014. She played third for the team which was skipped by Kim Eun-jung from 2010 to 2012 and skipped the team in 2013 and 2014. She won silver medals at the event from 2010 to 2012 inclusive. In her first year as a skip, she led South Korea to a bronze medal, and in 2014 she won the event, picking up a gold medal for the team.

Kim skipped the South Korean team at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships. She led her team of Kim Seon-yeong, Kim Ji-hyeon and Oh Eun-jin to a 7-2 round robin record, tied with Canada for first place. After losing the 1 vs. 2 game to Canada (skipped by Kelsey Rocque), Kim led her team to a semifinal win against Sweden before once again losing to Canada in a rematch in the gold medal final.

Kim has represented South Korea's Gyeongbuk Science College in two Winter Universiades, playing third for Kim Eun-jung at both the 2015 and 2017 Winter Universiades, finishing 5th and 6th respectively.

Women's career

While still a junior curler, Kim first represented her country at the women's level at the 2012 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships, playing third for Kim Eun-jung, who she also played with in juniors. There, the team won a bronze medal. The team returned to the event in 2014, where they won a bronze medal. This would've qualified them for the 2015 World Championships, but the Worlds were held in Japan who qualified over South Korea as hosts. The team would however win a gold medal at the 2016 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships, earning them the right to play in the 2017 World Women's Curling Championship in China. Also in 2017, the team won a silver medal at the 2017 Asian Winter Games.
