| In his later career Kim sustained an injury to his left hand. By playing through the injury, instead of rest, it is believed that the condition triggered [[focal dystonia]], a neurological disorder. In his case, there was progressive loss of normal digital function, resulting in uncontrollable rigidity of the affected fingers. Pianists [[Gary Graffman]] and [[Leon Fleischer]] also had this disorder. In order to maintain his performances Kim experimented with an alternative and individualized system of fingering that he devised. He embarked on a long and arduous path toward recovery with intensive physical training and retraining of his hand and finger movements. While combatting this disorder Kim still went on to complete one of his largest recording projects. His personal experience is recounted in his article “My Journey Through the Beethoven Symphonies.”<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.gandeproductions.com/bl...18nidCl9NjsQKAtQWtH-yb6hHCIc2P2raKAkkoNSOlEmk | title=My Journey Through the Beethoven Symphonies | publisher=gandeproductions | author=Paul Kim | access-date=2024-05-04}}</ref> | In his later career Kim sustained an injury to his left hand.
