Kim has a two-round total of 12-under 132 after opening with 62 -- her lowest round of the season -- as she looks for her first victory in 2024.
Kim was one shot ahead of Lucy Li of the United States and Mao Saigo of Japan. Li shot a 4-under 68 and Saigo carded a 7-under 65.
Two of the LPGA's top players -- Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko -- are not in the field this week in China.
