| |
| − | '''Harry S.L. Kim''' was a [[Human]] [[Star Fleet]] officer who was best known for serving as [[operations officer]] aboard the [[starship]] {{USS|Voyager}} during the seven years it was lost in the [[Delta Quadrant]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Star Fleet Academy ==
| |
| − | Kim attended [[Star Fleet Academy]] from [[2366]] to [[2370]]. During his last year at the Academy, he had a roommate named [[James Mooney MacAllister]], who studied excessively, even at night. This forced Kim to wear an eye mask to help sleep, reminding him of his mother's womb, of which he still retained memories. He retained the practice of wearing the mask at night throughout his ''Voyager'' assignment. McAllister helped Kim in his fourth year [[Quantum Chemistry]] class. Though, he reportedly "aced" the [[quantum mechanics|quantum theory]] portion of the [[Star Fleet Academy entrance exam]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | During his academy years, he became close friends with [[Lyndsay Ballard]], who lived across the hall in the student dorm. He even changed his class schedule so he would be in the same classes as Ballard. She taught him to [[ice skating|ice skate]], despite his dislike for cold weather. He never mentioned to her that he had a crush on her, not until he met her again in [[2376]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kim was editor of the school newspaper his senior year. As editor, he monitored [[subspace]] transmissions, where he got reports from some of the first activity by the [[Maquis]] against the [[Cardassian]]s after the signing of the [[Federation-Cardassian Treaty|Treaty of 2370]]. Without advising his [[professor]], Kim wrote an editorial on the potentially controversial topic and the [[cadet]]s became polarized on the issue. They debated the pros and cons of the subject and through his article, gained an insight into the entire history of the Maquis political rebellion.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He was also a talented [[Parrises squares]] player, and was Academy champion three times.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Harry graduated from the Academy as [[valedictorian]] of his class, having earned Interstellar Honors, on [[stardate]] 47918. He requested duty aboard the USS ''Voyager'' on stardate 47923 and was given his first field assignment as a [[bridge officer]] aboard ''Voyager'' early the following year.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Aboard ''Voyager'' ==
| |
| − | === 2371 ===
| |
| − | In 2371, Kim was assigned as [[operations officer]] aboard ''Voyager''. He was very nervous about his first assignment, to the extent that he did not know how to address Captain [[Kathryn Janeway]]. [[Tom Paris]], who was the polar opposite of Kim, took him under his wing; Janeway observed that he was somewhat naive and his loss of family and home was a raw wound.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During ''Voyager'''s maiden voyage, the ship was transported to the [[Delta Quadrant]] by the [[Caretaker's array]], along with a Maquis ship. After both crews were subjected to various medical tests, they were returned to their respective ships. Harry Kim and [[B'Elanna Torres]], a Maquis, were not. They were transferred to an underground [[Ocampa]]n medical facility by the [[Caretaker (Nacene)|Caretaker]]. It was at this time that Torres would refer to Kim as "Star Fleet," a nickname she would frequently use during their ''Voyager'' commissions. Kim and Torres persuaded an Ocampan nurse to show them a route that could lead to the surface. They were eventually rescued by ''Voyager''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kim later discovered a [[Harry Kim wormhole|micro-wormhole]] in the Delta Quadrant that led to the Alpha Quadrant, but twenty years in the past. Tom Paris proposed petitioning the [[Federation Astronomical Committee]] to officially designate the wormhole Harry discovered as the "Harry Kim wormhole."
| |
| − | | |
| − | On an [[away mission]] to an [[asteroid]], Kim found an alien burial ground. When the team was [[beam]]ed up, Kim was switched with one of the bodies in the burial capsules, and a dead alien was beamed aboard ''Voyager''. He found himself on the [[Vhnori]] [[homeworld]]. The Vhnori believed he was from the afterlife. When he told them he was from a place where there were just dead bodies, he shook their belief in the afterlife. He persuaded [[Hatil Garan]], a Vhnori, who was going to submit to euthanasia to ease his family's burden in caring for him, to change his mind about dying. He took Garan's place and was returned to the asteroid, and rescued by ''Voyager''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When ''Voyager'' visited the [[Sikarian]]s, Kim met a woman named [[Eudana]], who was using an instrument which Harry mistook for being musical in nature, but when she said it measured weather patterns, he correctly deduced that nonlinear resonances in the atmosphere allowed the device to function. She then asked if he was a [[scientist]], to which he responded that was sort of right. She wanted to be alone with him and took him to a planet thousands of [[light year]]s away. Her people could fold space and travel great distances in a short time. This technology could have reduced the length of ''Voyager'''s return home. The Sikarians, however, would not give up the technology due to their laws.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During a holoprogram, Kim was captured by an energy being who had assumed one of the characters in the program. [[The Doctor]] rescued him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === 2372 ===
| |
| − | In the attack by the [[Botha]], who could cause hallucinations, Kim believed he saw his girlfriend [[Libby]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Voyager'' was accidentally duplicated by a [[spatial scission]] phenomenon. Each ship was unaware of the others' existence, and both tried to stabilize their rapidly-draining [[antimatter]] supply with a series of [[proton burst]]s. One of the two ships, slightly [[phase]]d apart from the other, fired [[proton]]s first, heavily damaging the other in the process; the damage also caused the infant [[Naomi Wildman]] to die in her failed delivery operation. The Harry Kim from the damaged ''Voyager'' was killed after being blown through a [[hull breach]]. When the undamaged ship was forced to self-destruct after being overrun by [[Vidiian]] forces, that ship's Harry Kim took the infant [[Naomi Wildman]] and transferred to the other ship.

| − | [[Image:Kim goes limp.jpg|thumb|left|In an artificial reality stasis created by the [[Kohl]], [[The Clown]] turns Harry's fear of growing old into a reality]]
| |
| − | At one point, Kim entered an artificial reality stasis created by the [[Kohl]]. They had created it to survive a natural disaster. When he entered, in his subconscious state he was confronted by The [[Clown]]. The Clown was fear personified, and survived by being linked to humanoid sensory functions. He had already killed some of the Kohl in stasis by literally frightening them to death. Kim could not wake up and became a prisoner of the entity. He was rescued by [[Kathryn Janeway|Janeway]] when she tricked The Clown into releasing the prisoners in exchange for her. She substituted her hologram for herself.

| − | === 2373 ===
| |
| − | In [[2373]], Kim and Paris were falsely arrested and were incarcerated in an [[Akritirian]] prison ship, where they suffered great physical and mental abuse. Even though Janeway found the real terrorist who had actually committed the crime, the Akritirians refused to release them. Kim attended to Paris's wounds when he was stabbed by an inmate. With no medical assistance available, Kim made a deal with another inmate for some supplies to clean up his crewmate and friend. Later, Kim almost killed Paris when he found a delirious Paris taking apart the tool that Kim had used to neutralize the force field surrounding the prison. He regained his composure just in time – ''Voyager'' attacked the prison and freed them both.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In early 2373, Kim was assigned to enhance the [[astrometrics]] lab aboard ''Voyager'', which had not been upgraded since the ship left [[spacedock]]. He fell in love with a holodeck character, who was actually an alien remotely manipulating the character. He became very jealous of Tuvok when the holodeck character became infatuated with [[Tuvok]]. The alien was a lonely operator assigned to a deep space array near a [[nebula]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Later that year, Kim began to exhibit the appearance of alien markings on his face. When ''Voyager'' visited a planet inhabited by the [[Taresian]]s, they explained that Kim was conceived on their world, but his embryo was implanted in an [[Earth]] woman, to bring an infusion of new genetic material back to their race. At first Kim decided to stay on his "true homeworld", but later Kim realized that Taresian men are killed on their wedding night after the women extract enough genetic material to conceive children. In fact he was not Taresian but infected with a retro virus to produce the Taresian DNA. The crew was able to disrupt a force field around the planet and beam up Kim and leave the area.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At the end of the year, ''Voyager'' arrived in [[Borg]] space. They found a passage that seemed devoid of any Borg. After a fleet of cubes had passed ''Voyager'', ignoring it, Kim determined that the fleet had been destroyed. Upon investigating the debris, he was attacked by [[Species 8472]] and wounded. His body was invaded by alien [[cell (biology)|cells]] that were destroying his own cells. He was cured when The Doctor used Borg [[nanoprobe]]s to cure him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === 2374 ===
| |
| − | Kim and The Doctor were two of the members of the crew not put into the [[Hirogen]] holoprogram hunts after the Hirogen captured ''Voyager''. Kim was forced to continue to expand and upgrade the hunting holoprograms. He worked on a way to disable the neural blockers used by the Hirogens, so the crew could remember who they were. He was successful and helped rescue the crew by disabling the holoprograms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On exploring a demon planet, his [[DNA]] was used by [[silver blood]] aliens to duplicate him, so they could experience consciousness.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === 2375 ===
| |
| − | In [[2375]], Kim helped build a technologically-advanced shuttle called the ''[[Delta Flyer]]''. That same year, Kim encountered the [[Malon]]. They attempted to steal an advanced probe belonging to ''Voyager''. Kim, along with Paris, Seven of Nine and Torres, used the shuttle to retrieve the [[probe]] and fight off the Malon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He became involved with a [[Varro]] female named [[Derran Tal]] who was a rebel planning on separating the Varro generation ship. This affair brought him in conflict with Captain Janeway who disapproved of the relationship. He defied Janeway and continued to see Derran. Kim developed a biological bond that the Varro called the shared heart. The Doctor developed an antidote for the condition. After the Varro ship left and he and Darren parted, Kim refused to take medicine for his lovesick condition, because the pain would remind him of the happiness he felt.
| |
| − | | |
| − | About nine months after the events on the demon planet, Kim's silver blood duplicate and the rest of ''Voyager''{{'}}s duplicate crew, experienced severe cellular degradation, initially believing they were the real crew and operating the real starship. Kim spearheaded the drive to return to the demon planet when [[Chakotay]] became too sick to function, ultimately convincing the dying duplicate Janeway. As acting captain after Janeway died, Kim tried to hold together a quickly-disintegrating ship, until it could return to the Demon Planet and safety. In the duplicate ''Voyager'''s last minutes, the desperate crew detected glimpses of the real ''Voyager'' through degraded sensors, and Kim sent a final plea for help – tragically warranting only a vague distress call entry in Janeway's captain's log.

| − | [[Image:Buster Kincaid.jpg|thumb|Harry Kim as [[Buster Kincaid]] in the [[holonovel]] ''[[The Adventures of Captain Proton]]'']]
| |
| − | He and Paris discovered that their favorite holoprogram, ''[[The Adventures of Captain Proton]]'', had mistakenly been taken seriously by an alien race. They believed that they were about to be attacked. They had to defeat the program's villain, [[Doctor Chaotica]], to stop the alien attack on ''Voyager''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === 2376 ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | After receiving a distress call on the night shift, acting captain Kim diverted ''Voyager'' to the site. After confidence-boosting approval from Chakotay on "doing the right thing", senior command crew granted Kim the opportunity to expand his leadership skills, by leading an away mission for assistance. They found an artificially-intelligent [[probe]]-like machine, which crashed on the planet. At The Doctor's insistence that they beam the device aboard for repairs – after some debate, Kim prudently added security measures to the investigation, and transferred it to sickbay due to the probe's bio-neural components. Torres discovered the device was actually a weapon of mass destruction, and the warhead then hijacked The Doctor's program, trapping Torres and Kim in [[sickbay]] with The Doctor's control abilities. Using persistent diplomacy, technical analysis and citing The Doctor's growth as an AI, Kim was instrumental in showing and reasoning with the warhead that its launch was a mistake, and that the weapon's intentions and stubborn denial of rescinded orders could cause it to fail its mission to protect its originating people, by inciting an accidental second war. The weapon failed to convince its newly-arrived identical warp-capable warheads about the rescinded orders – these new weapons then threatened ''Voyager'''s destruction if the damaged warhead was not re-integrated into their fleet for final blind destruction of their enemies. Kim's sadness was soothed, when despite the potential loss of its new-found enlightenment, the weapon found a new way to protect its people: destroying its brethren while traveling in subspace.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kim often found time to relax on the holodeck. He and Paris created a new holoprogram called ''[[Fair Haven]]''. He dated one of the characters, [[Maggie O'Halloran]], who Paris turned into a cow as a prank. When the other characters in the program saw it they believed that Kim and Paris were evil spirits and attempted to send them back to the otherworld. The characters had become self-aware due to a hologram failure.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Later, he became reunited with a crewmate for whom he had romantic feelings. [[Ensign]] [[Lyndsay Ballard]] had been killed in an away mission, only to be discovered by the [[Kobali]] who resurrected her. They reanimated her by altering her DNA and transformed her into a Kobali. The Doctor used medical techniques to begin the transformation of her back to human form, but too little of her human DNA remained for him to complete the procedure. He was, however, able to use cosmetic techniques to make her appear human. Her Kobali father boarded ''Voyager'' and asked her to come back; when she refused, his ships opened fire on ''Voyager''. Kim tried to persuade her to stay, but she had been transformed into a Kobali and wished to save ''Voyager'' from future attacks so she left.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As a member of an away team Kim retained memories of a massacre which took place many years ago. The memorial was put in his neural pathways by a [[synaptic generator]] left as a monument on the planet he visited. Kim suffered terrible guilt because the memories of the soldier, who had killed two civilians, was transposed on him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kim, along with Paris, Chakotay, and {{MA|Neelix|Neelix}}, were on the ''Delta Flyer'', when a Borg cube tractored the shuttle inside the cube. The cube was piloted by Borg children who were left along after a virus had killed the adults. Kim was injured, but recovered and attempted to destroy the cube's generator. He and the others were rescued by [[Seven of Nine]] who persuaded the children to let them go.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He was stranded on a pre-industrial planet with Torres. He was able to restore the shuttle, when Torres was able to secure minerals and metals for stories she gave to the local playwright. He and Torres returned to ''Voyager''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === 2377 ===
| |
| − | In the last year of ''Voyager'''s journey home, Kim helped defeat the Borg and destroy [[Unimatrix Zero]]. He entered a galactic space race, only to find out that the woman he had feelings for, [[Irina]], was a terrorist trying to sabotage the race. He was part of an away team captured by a race that had its world poisoned by an early Earth probe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kim assumed his first command when he took over a [[Kraylor]] ship that was in conflict with another alien race. He believed that the ship was carrying medicine, but was really a ship carrying cloaked technology.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === 2378 ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[2378]], Kim was in command of ''Voyager'' when the ''Delta Flyer II'' sent an emergency message to the bridge from Captain Janeway. Janeway told Kim that she wanted to see Commander Chakotay in her ready room as soon as possible. Janeway told Chakotay and the rest of the senior staff that a species called the [[R'Kaal]] demanded that ''Voyager'' be disassembled, as warp travel through their region of space was forbidden. Janeway claimed that she barely made it back to ''Voyager'' in one piece from them. She also claimed that she had made a compromise with them; that they would surrender their warp core and settle on the nearest M-class planet. However, Chakotay had become concerned about Janeway's behavior and asked Kim to decode a transmission from the R'Kaal's [[Supreme Archon]], [[Loth]]. Kim discovered on the holodeck with Chakotay that Loth was merely a holodeck character created by the Doctor. Suddenly, the Doctor, disguised as Chakotay, subdued Kim with a [[hypospray]]. The Doctor, who had also disguised himself as Janeway, hid Kim in ''Voyager''{{'}}s [[morgue]], where he also hid Chakotay's body. Kim and Chakotay were later found by Tom Paris, after the Doctor escaped with ''Voyager''{{'}}s warp core to deliver to [[Nar]] and [[Zet]], who were holding Captain Janeway hostage. After the hostage crisis was over and the warp core was recovered, the Doctor's program began to malfunction after he had taken on many holographic templates of the crew. The Doctor, believing he was about to be lost forever, recounted to Kim when he told B'Elanna Torres that his [[saxophone]] playing during his recital the previous month reminded him of a wounded [[targ]]. Fortunately, the Doctor was saved after Torres deleted all the extraneous data from his program.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Later in 2378, Kim began to get excited about returning home again, when Seven of Nine discovered numerous [[neutrino]] emissions inside a nebula, which translated into a number of wormholes. Paris jokingly told Kim that one of them could lead into his parents' living room. ''Voyager'' entered the nebula, but found it to be infested with Borg. Janeway ordered ''Voyager'' be taken out of the nebula at once. Kim, not wanting to give up on the possiblity of returning home, tried asking Paris to help him take the ''Delta Flyer'' inside the nebula. Paris, about to become a father, refused. However, a short time later, Admiral Kathryn Janeway time traveled from the year [[2404]] to try and get ''Voyager'' home sooner. With the advanced technology she brought from the future, ''Voyager'' dealt a crippling blow to the Borg by infecting them with a [[neurolytic pathogen]] and destroying one of their [[transwarp hub]]s. ''Voyager'' emerged from a transwarp hub in [[sector 001]] after destroying a [[Borg sphere]] and Kim returned back to [[Earth]] after seven years lost in the Delta Quadrant.

| − | == Alternate realities and timelines ==
| |
| − | [[Image:CaptainHarryKim2411AlternateTimeline.jpg|thumb|left|Captain Harry Kim in an alternate 25th century timeline]]
| |
| − | In one [[alternate timeline]] created in [[2371]], Kim found himself back in [[San Francisco]], assigned to the [[Star Fleet Corps of Engineers|Star Fleet Engineer Corps]], living with [[Libby]], who was at the time his fiancée. Kim was a [[starship design specialist]] who received the [[Cochrane Medal of Excellence]] for Outstanding Advances in [[Warp Theory]] and was responsible for designing the new [[tetryon plasma]] [[warp engine]]s for the {{USS|Yellowstone|NX-74751}}. His shuttle entered an alien time stream that changed his timeline. He was helped by [[Cosimo]], one of the aliens, and the Tom Paris of that timeline, to return to ''Voyager''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In another timeline, Kim married [[Linnis Paris]], the daughter of Tom Paris and [[Kes]]. The couple had a son named [[Andrew Kim|Andrew]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | In yet another timeline, Kim and Chakotay flew the ''Delta Flyer'' to Earth after ''Voyager'' was destroyed due to a mistake of Kim's, an erroneous phase correction to the slipstream threshold of the [[quantum slipstream drive]] he chiefly designed. Fifteen years later, as fugitives, they found ''Voyager'' and "fixed" history. With a [[Borg]] temporal transmitter that they stole from [[Star Fleet]] they sent a message back in time to prevent the crash. Kim had blamed himself for what happened to ''Voyager'', and as such was more aggressive to The Doctor (the only survivor of the crash because he was a computer program). For example, he threatened to shut him down for good if he didn't help save ''Voyager'', something The Doctor was reluctant to do since it meant altering the timeline. After Kim failed yet again to save ''Voyager'', and with the ''Flyer'', damaged by the {{USS|Challenger|NCC-71099}}, three minutes from a [[warp core breach]], he completely fell apart, bursting into tears and bitterly accepting his final failure. The Doctor, however, would have none of it, and came up with the idea of trying to avoid the crash itself rather than trying to get ''Voyager'' home. His broken spirit rejuvenated by the knowledge that, while a return to the Alpha Quadrant was out of the question, the ship and crew could still be saved, Kim succeeded at the last possible second by using The Doctor's [[mobile emitter]] to power the transmitter and send a message to ''Voyager'', dying with his arms raised in triumph.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In yet another timeline, Kim commanded the {{ShipClass|Nova}} starship {{USS|Rhode Island}} in the early [[25th century]]. He was on a four-year mission, missing a number of events, including Chakotay's funeral. He was sent by The Doctor (he contacted Kim directly to keep the matter "in the family") to stop Vice Admiral Janeway from interfering with 33 years of history. However, she convinced him to assist her by holding off two Klingon ships.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Personal life ==
| |
| − | Harry Kim was born in [[South Carolina]] in [[2349]]. His personal interests included [[sport]]s, [[art]], and [[music]]. A [[Crucifix]] is shown hanging on the wall of his quarters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Tuvok-and-harry-kaltoh.jpg|thumb|Kim playing ''kal-toh'' with Tuvok]]
| |
| − | Kim participated in various sports such as [[tennis]] and [[Parrises squares]]. His favorite sports were [[volleyball]] and [[Velocity]]. As a cadet at Star Fleet Academy, Kim was involved in numerous athletic events as both the captain of the Velocity team and a three-time Academy champion of Parrises squares. Aboard ''Voyager'', Kim was often seen enjoying a game of ''[[kal-toh]]'' with [[Tuvok]], although he was unable to defeat the Vulcan officer during the seven years of ''Voyager'''s return trip to the Alpha Quadrant.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kim also played [[clarinet]] in the [[Juilliard Youth Symphony]]. When he served on the USS ''Voyager'', he forgot his clarinet. He later replicated one with his [[replicator ration]]s and went on to perform with a [[jazz]] combo of officers, "[[Harry Kim and the Kimtones]]."
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Libby&Harry.jpg|thumb|left|Libby and Harry (2371)]]
| |
| − | Kim had a girlfriend named Libby, whom he met, by accident, at a [[Ktarian music festival]], where he was sitting in her seat. After the incident, it took Kim three weeks to work up the courage to ask her on a date. After ''Voyager'' became stranded in the [[Delta Quadrant]], in [[2371]], Kim held on to his love for Libby and often woke up in the middle of the night calling her name, hoping for a response.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite his continued affection for Libby, Kim had many failed relationship attempts while aboard ''Voyager''. He confessed to a long-held infatuation with Academy classmate [[Lyndsay Ballard]], who died during an away mission and was then revived by an alien race known as the [[Kobali]]. Kim's other failed infatuations include crewmate [[Megan Delaney]], a holographic character named [[Marayna]], and an alien terrorist named [[Irina]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[2374]], Kim became infatuated with [[Seven of Nine]] shortly after she was released from the [[Borg Collective]]. Seven, however, did not return the affection due to her incomplete understanding of Human culture. When she confronted Kim regarding his feelings for her, she attempted to initiate an intimate encounter with him, forcing an awkward Kim to defuse the situation. The result of their encounter, however, did set the foundation for developing a friendship.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Derran Tal and Harry Kim.jpg|thumb|Harry kissing Derran Tal in 2375]]
| |
| − | In [[2375]], Kim became involved in a forbidden affair with a [[Varro]] engineer named [[Derran Tal]]. Harry fell deeply in [[love]] with Derran, in part because of a special bond created between the two called ''[[olan'vora]]'', which he contracted following intimate relations with the Varro.

| − | === Tom Paris ===
| |
| − | [[Image:Harry and Tom in Prison.jpg|thumb|Friends through the best of times, and the worst]]
| |
| − | After ''Voyager'' became stranded in the [[Delta Quadrant]], Kim became good friends with Tom Paris. Together they often spent much time together in the [[holodeck]]. During their time on ''Voyager'', Kim became Paris' best friend.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Paris first met Harry Kim on board [[Deep Space 9]], where a [[Ferengi]] bartender named [[Quark]] wanted to sell Kim some crystals. Quark was about to scam Kim, when Paris sunk the deal the [[Ferengi]] wanted to make and prevented Kim from paying too much for the crystals.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When Paris reported on board ''Voyager'', Kim noticed the cold behavior between some of the crew and Paris. Kim found out that there was an accident as a result of a pilot error which Tom tried to hide by falsifying reports but which he finally admitted was his fault. After Paris told him to stay away from him, Kim told him he could choose his own friends and their friendship started.
| |
| − | | |
| − | They had double dates with the [[Delaney sisters]] and spent a lot of time in the holodeck. Kim was shy and unsure around the opposite sex, and went to Paris for relationship advice. In Paris' opinion, Kim always fell in love with the wrong women.

| − | === Parents ===
| |
| − | Kim was very close to his parents, [[Mary Kim|Mary]] and [[John Kim]]. He was in contact with them every week, even during his training missions. They lived in South Carolina. His mother was a school teacher. She became upset because Harry had left his clarinet behind when he was assigned to ''Voyager'' and she did not have enough time to send it to him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On his mother's birthday in 2377, he got to speak to his parents face-to-face for the first time in seven years. During the conversation his mother stated that Harry was very popular with her 8th graders. Harry Kim's parents were bothered that he hadn't been promoted.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Ancestors ===
| |
| − | In "about" [[2210]], Harry's "uncle" [[Jack (23rd century)|Jack]] piloted a [[sleeper ship]] on a deep-space exploration trip to [[Beta Capricus]]. The rest of the crew went into [[stasis]] while Jack spent the six months piloting the ship himself alone. Upon arrival, the "star" was found not to exist and to be only an [[electromagnetic]] echo of a distant galaxy. Jack chose not to wake the rest of the crew before returning, after a further six-month journey back to Earth. When they awoke in Earth orbit they initially questioned why they had never left.
