Grace Kim Bio
Grace Kim is an American model, writer, and Playboy personality best known as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for November 2008. She was born on August 20, 1979, in Los Angeles, California, United States. Her zodiac sign is Leo.
Kim was born and raised in Los Angeles in a Korean-American family. Her Playboy profile notes that her parents emigrated from South Korea in 1979, and that she had visited South Korea several times, partly to reconnect with relatives and study the Korean language.
Playboy introduced Grace Kim as “Miss November” in its November 2008 issue under the feature title “Amazing Grace.” Her Playmate pictorial was photographed by Stephen Wayda. The feature emphasized her connection to music, video games, writing, and Los Angeles creative culture.
Before becoming a Playmate, Kim earned a degree in English from UCLA and worked as a paralegal and teacher. She later wrote promotional copy for the Guitar Hero video game series while working with Activision, a detail also repeated in public Playmate reference listings.
Her Playboy data sheet listed her measurements as 34C-21-32, with a height of 5 ft 6 in and a weight of 108 lb. It also listed her favorite video games as Rock Band, Pac-Man, Halo 3, Super Smash Bros., Madden NFL 08, and Mario Kart Wii, and named Led Zeppelin as the band she would most like to jam with.
Kim’s profile also described her interest in writing and creative expression. Her stated ambitions included continuing her career as a Playmate, publishing a book, and maintaining a happy and healthy life.
Grace Kim’s public Playboy biography is defined by the intersection of Korean-American identity, UCLA education, video-game industry work, and her November 2008 Playmate of the Month feature. Her profile stands out in the 2008 archive because Playboy framed her not only through glamour modeling, but also through music, gaming, writing, and education.
