COVER STORY w/ Gia Kim: “XO, Kitty is one of the most meaningful things that has ever happened to me”
While the industry speeds up, Gia Kim slows it down and sharpens the focus. There’s no rush in her narrative, but there is direction. Subtle, intentional, precise. In many ways, subversion is her natural state.
A Korean actress with a growing global presence, Gia represents a different kind of visibility: less performative, more aware. She doesn’t need to exaggerate to take up space.She holds it. In a moment where everything is measured in exposure, she speaks instead about purpose. About meaning. About not betraying yourself. And then comes XO, Kitty. And everything shifts.
Not just because the show becomes another global hit, but because her character fractures expectations: a Korean “queen bee” who is queer, layered, contradictory. The kind of character many young girls will finally recognize themselves in.
