The South Korean skated early on among the 30 skaters, and her phenomenal routine allowed her to apply maximum pressure onto her rivals.
That pressure saw some of her core competition crack; 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia looked nervous and fell on one of her jumps as she only managed to record 65.23, which left her well behind Kim and in 5th place.
Gracie Gold of the United States put in a competitive 68.63, although she too looked nervous but managed to just hold her nerves on a few wobbly landings.
Meanwhile, fellow American, Ashley Wagner, lies in 6th after the short program, posting a 65.21.
However, Kim will not feel comfortable at the top of the pile, as Lipnitskaia's Russian colleague, Adelina Sotnikova, smashed her personal best to put on an amazing performance to get the home crowd on their feet in rapturous applause.
Her 74.64 puts her just marginally behind Kim, and if she can pull off a similarly spectacular performance tomorrow she could be looking at a podium finish.
Meanwhile, Italy's Carolina Kostner pulled out one of her classic performances, and she too is just 0.80 behind Kim going into Thursday's program.
