“It’s an honor for me to be a part of AVN
Stars… I’ve loved every moment of it.”
Joey Kim admits that curiosity got the best of her.
“When I first started live streaming I don’t think I was really prepared for it,” Kim says. “I
didn’t really know what I was getting myself into.”
A sophomore who was studying photography at Parsons School of Design in New York, Kim
started her career in adult entertainment as a non-nude model on MyFreeCams without doing
any research—in 2010.
When Kim streams live in 2021, it has turned into appointment viewing.
Now the “Asian Strip Spectacle” shares her gift for performing on AVN Stars when she’s
not experimenting with new technology on her official website, JoeyKim.tv, one of the most
innovative online destinations in the industry that she and her team built from scratch.
“I feel like all of this was very unexpected for me because I hadn’t thought that live streaming
would become what it is for me today, or that it would become as big as it has for me today,”
says Kim, whose journey with self-portraiture started in 2013, around the time she began
going nude on cam.
The versatile performance artist possesses generational talent that extends beyond the
standard cam show. She has moved audiences around the world with her effortless grace on
the Lyra and silks, doing aerial burlesque in front of crowds from New York to Thailand.
In the past four years since she embraced her wanderlust, Kim has streamed from
Amsterdam, Bangkok, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Portugal, London and Prague, Czech
Republic, where she has lived and worked for extended periods.
She teased on an outdoor swing on the island of Krk, Croatia, danced in the shadows in
Moscow, Russia, and stripped on a balcony in St. Tropez, France. In Spain’s Canary Islands,
where she resides at the moment, Kim demonstrated the art of seduction in a soapy escapade
inside a glass-enclosed shower.
Today Kim’s captivating stage presence stands in contrast to how she eased into cam
modeling at a time when she was far more comfortable staying behind the scenes.
“I wasn’t even very confident in my body or in my sexuality at the time,” Kim recalls. “I feel
like sort of throwing myself into the industry has been a huge learning experience for me.
“Because it’s almost like I slowly started to apply myself and my skills and my passions to
live streaming. That’s when it really started to lift off for me—when I was starting to be more
comfortable with just expressing myself and sharing who I am and what was going on in my
life at the time.”
