She stayed with Take Five until 2004, but in 2002, she was auditioned for the role of a controversial teenager in the soapie teasers Isidingo.
The role of Lolly Isidingo teasers that she took up posed a significant challenge for her. Kim recounted later that, "I remember the producers saying to me to stop trying so hard and just go with the character in the beginning." Also, she went on to say,
Playing Lolly was a big thing. The character went through a lot and it was the first time I felt the power of what we do as actors. She was a troubled teen and went through a lot of things. It was a privilege to play her. People would actually come up to me and tell me they went through the same things, they identify with her.

I have been looking for international roles for the last year. I have been constantly auditioning and sent, like, a million tapes. I went overseas to meet directors. So I have been working. You realise that some roles are not made for you and you move to the next thing. It is not about international recognition. I just want to have fun with my roles. Personally, I just want to act.
