I'd actually say the initial consonant in "Kim" is actually the "G" sound. That's actually not quite correct either though. As an initial sound, the G/K will be unaspirated, unvoiced. That means it'll sound like G in Game, without your vocal cords vibrating, and it'll sound like K in Kill without the puff of air from your mouth. It may be hard to hear the difference but pay attention and you'll hear it.

But generally, it'll be the "G" at the beginning of a syllable, and at the end of a syllable it'll be a... K, I guess. I think it'd be better described as a glottal stop.
