Early life and education
Kim Seul-gi was born on October 10, 1991 in Busan. Kim dreamt of becoming a musical actor while in school, and in her third year of high school she joined an acting academy. Since her family was poor, she couldn't afford to attend the school, but she took a chance and asked the academy to support her. Recognizing her passion, the academy accepted her and gave her the opportunity to study acting.{{Cite web |last=Kwon |first=Jun-sang |date=October 7, 2014 |script-title=ko:'국민욕동생'서 '신스틸러'로 Up...김슬기의 다음 변신은? |trans-title=Up from 'National Cursing Sister' to 'Scene Stealer'...

Career
Kim completed her studies in 2010. The following year, she joined the cast of "Romeo Landing on Earth", a play written and directed by the film director Jang Jin. This play was specifically staged to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Seoul Institute of the Arts. Kim's participation in the production was as a member of the college theater society known as "Venture to Meet" ({{Korean|hangul=만남의 시도|labels=no}}). Her exceptional performance in the play impressed Jang Jin.
Months later in mid-2011, when Jang Jin was looking for cast members for the live comic variety show called SNL Korea, he recruited Kim as part of the cast. Through the programme, her popularity significantly increased, especially in the latter half of 2012.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:웃기는 칼... 욕쟁이 또... 앞으론 뭐... 궁금하다, 김슬기|trans-title=Funny knife...

Accordingly, she became a mainstream model in 2013, appearing in numerous advertisements ranging from dairy products to insurance and telecommunication companies.
She is a member of both the "Jang Jin Division" ({{lang|ko|장진사단}}), a group of entertainers who have been influenced by Jang Jin, and his entertainment company called Film-it-suda ({{lang|ko|필름있수다}}).
In 2014, Kim Seul-gi furthered her career, appearing in the movie Miss Granny and the KBS Drama Special episode "I'm Dying Soon". Her performance in the KBS2 Monday-Tuesday drama Discovery of Love, which first aired in August, also gathered her attention.
