Chan Kim was born in Suwon, South Korea. He moved to Hawaii when he was 2 years old and his golfing journey started at the age of 12.

He won his one and only High School State Championships as a sophomore in Hawaii. To further his golfing career and open up opportunities, he moved to Arizona where he played one year of high school golf at Hamilton High School. After graduating high school, he was recruited to play for Arizona State University. During that time, Chan won 2 Arizona Amateur Stroke Play Championships (2008, 2010) and the Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in 2009. In 2010, he decided to turn pro and explore his opportunities. He started out on the Canadian Tour by winning the Q School in 2010 and played two seasons. Afterwards, he moved on to play the Asian Tour and European Challenge Tour for 3 season.
