Chief Executive
Triller App
Kim was appointed as the chief executive of Triller Group Inc.’s flagship mobile app and the Triller Platform Co., a subsidiary within the company, in November 2024. Kim’s background is littered with experience in entertainment, e-commerce and social media. He was the head of product at Triller’s competition, TikTok, between 2019 and 2022. He is also an advisor at Blind, the social networking startup geared toward discussing workplace issues. Triller has been gearing up to take over an exodus of TikTok users as a federal ban on the platform looms. In January, days before the U.S. scheduled a nationwide ban on TikTok, Triller came out with a slew of products to save TikToks, reupload them on the Triller platform and make the transition between the two apps seamless.
