Background

Kim Kurniawan was born in Mühlacker, Germany, to a German mother Uschi and a Chinese Indonesian father Petrus Kurniawan. His grandfather from his father's side, Kwee Hong Sing, was also a footballer who played for Persija Jakarta and also the Indonesian national football team in the 1950s.[1] Born as a German national, Kurniawan decided to obtain an Indonesian passport after Football Association of Indonesia offered him to play for the national team. He came to Indonesia in early 2010 with other Indonesian descent footballers Irfan Bachdim and Alessandro Trabucco.
