Dr. Kim presented her study, titled "Representation of Plus-Size Models in Academic Research: A Text Mining Analysis of Size-Inclusivity," at the ITAA (International Textile and Apparel Association) annual conference. With two co-authors, she explored academic discourse surrounding the representation of plus-size fashion models by utilizing text mining methodologies, revealing its implications for inclusivity and body positivity in both the fashion industry and academia. 

As part of the summer vacation training program for middle and high school teachers, Dr. Kim delivered a special invited lecture at the Department of Technology and Home Economics Education at Kongju National University. 

In this Sebasi Talk, Professor Wonjae Lee from KAIST introduced Dr. Kim's article, "Effects of Korean female adolescent makeup on school adjustment." It is delightful that this article has a chance to substantiate Professor Lee's declaration that the socio-psychological effects of adolescent makeup culture are beneficial for their healthy development.
