Kim was caught on August 1 at the Pudong International Airport when he was to board a flight to South Korea. Customs inspectors found something wrong with the passport and questioned Kim.
"They asked me if I was Sun Yueqi. I said yes," Kim said in court. "The officer then showed me a photo of the real Sun Yueqi and I admitted I was not the man but a South Korean."
Police said they also seized a temporary ID card for Shanghai residents and a social security card from Kim.
"I asked for a passport only. I didn't want any other cards," Kim said in court.
Kim pleaded guilty yesterday but the court didn't announce a verdict. According to Chinese law, those who illegally cross the national border face up to one year behind bars and fines.
