Bio
 |
Annie Kim is Annie Edison's classmate from her Political Science course. According to Annie Kim, she had a very high G.P.A.- the same number as Annie Edison- before attending Greendale. Although she had a lighter course load in comparison to Edison, she still managed to start 17 clubs. She also claims her high school was higher ranked than Riverside High which Annie Edison and Troy Barnes attended. Although Edison made an attempt to become friends with her, they ultimately became bitter rivals. Her first appearance was in the Season Three episode "Geography of Global Conflict". She is portrayed by actress Irene Choi. |
Character history
Season Three
| Annie Kim first got the attention of Annie Edison when she was picked to answer a question by Professor Cligoris in Poli Sci class. Not only did she get the answer right, but she was also praised by the teacher which bothered Edison. Brushing aside her feelings, Edison tried to form a friendship with her and even introduced her to the study group. Although she would try to deny it, their competitive natures were very apparent to everyone, and the group warned Edison not to let the rivalry get the best of her. Edison later found out Kim started a model UN, an idea she had come up with by herself earlier. Edison and Jeff confronted her on stealing the idea. Kim doesn't deny it but also says that the credit should still be hers since she actually went and carried out the idea. Jeff suggested that Edison start her own model UN at which point Professor Cligoris steps in. He proposed that they have a model UN showdown to determine the real one.

| At the Model UN competition, Edison enlisted the study group's help as the Blue UN while Kim led the Red UN with a group that included Vicky. Edison's UN started off strong with an early lead by easily settling 'crisis alert' challenges. A distraction to the study group in the form of someone's flatulence allows Kim's red team to take the lead. Unable to get her group to focus on the task at hand, Edison had an emotional breakdown and made a spectacle of herself in front of everyone. However, Edison made a comeback with an unorthodox plan suggested by Abed. Professor Cligoris overruled Kim's objections, and allowed Edison's last ditch effort. The Blue UN offered that they both concede and that the Red UN join them to form a union, a "united United Nations". Kim rejects the offer, preferring the real victory over an ideal. Cligoris explains that's what the UN is at its heart- rhetoric and ideas- and that Edison's Blue UN has perfectly simulated it by their actions. He awards the contest to Edison as an incredulous Annie Kim looks on ("Geography of Global Conflict")

Season Four
| In the study group's senior year at Greendale, Kim competes alongside other students in a multi-round contest called "The Hunger Deans". The winner receives a spot in the popular class "History of Ice Cream" . In the opening competition, Annie Kim slams Jeff's head into a wall thanks to an assist form Leonard who distracted him. Jeff questions why a pre-med student like her would be competing and Annie simply says she wants ice cream. Jeff snatched her glasses and tossed them aside before pulling her off the wall climbing obstacle she was on. Later, she attempted to form an alliance with Jeff in another event featuring a tango contest. He turned down her offer and chose Dean Pelton to be his dance partner. Annie Kim paired off with Leonard but didn't win as Pelton ultimately awarded Jeff the prize ("History 101").
