Grace Kim - Playmate of the Month for November 2008

Something about Grace Kim really strikes a chord with us, and it's not just the way she handles her instrument. When we met the guitar goddess during her shoot at Playboy Studio West, her enthusiasm about life was infectious. "I've always been a rebel," says Grace. "I play a mean game of Guitar Hero, and I'm willing to challenge anybody. I must warn you I'm a very sore loser – at any game." Creative expression is vital to Miss November – "I feel I can express myself better through writing. It's a pure, passionate love of mine" – and music and art are in her genes. Her mom is a calligrapher, her dad a violinist and her brother a pianist and guitarist. An L.A. girl born and raised, Grace has made three visits to South Korea, from which her family emigrated in 1979. "I have relatives in Seoul, and I went to Korean school to learn to read and write the language."
