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 national team footballer who played for Persija Jakarta and also the Indonesian national football team in the 1950s.[1] Born as a German national, Kim decided to obtain an Indonesian passport after Football Association of Indonesia offered him to play for the national team.
