Childhood and youth
The future TV presenter was born on August 11, 1983 in Leningrad , present-day St. Petersburg. Marina's father was Korean, and her mother spent her entire childhood in Lithuania. Kim also has a brother, Anton, who is 2 years older than her. The relationship between her parents was strained, to put it mildly; her father wanted to strictly raise the children and make Kim’s mother more obedient. But her mother had a strong character and did not plan to give in.
In childhood and school
Marina was not a problem child; while studying at school, the girl managed to combine her studies with ballet and choreography classes. At first, despite her talent, she did not get the main roles in the choreographic circle. The teachers explained this decision by the girl’s excess weight. Because of this, Kim considered herself fat as a child and cried a lot. But when she grew up, she began to travel with other children to various performances, including Finland and Japan . It was during the tour that Marina realized that she wanted to connect her life with the stage and the public.
At the age of 15, Kim was invited to work as a model . At first, the girl participated only in clothing shows. But over time, she began to be noticed more and more, and Kim began to receive invitations to participate in videos and shows from famous brands. The new occupation was not to the liking of the parents, but fortunately for them, the girl also did not see herself as a future model and entered the university to study international relations. Later, Marina moved to MGIMO.
