Kim Moon Kyu, later legally changed to his baptismal name Kim Timoteo, is a South Korean singer, dancer, child actor and former member of HOTSHOT (핫샷). He graduated from Anyang Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Performing Arts from Shinhan University.

Before debuting, he began his career as a child actor and, later, he was a trainee at SM Entertainment and was set to debut as part of EXO. However, when the agency began delaying their debut date, he decided to leave as he was facing pressure from his parents.

He made his debut in October 2014 as HOTSHOT's lead dancer, vocalist, rapper and face of the group with their digital single, "Take A Shot". The group was able to release a few digital singles and also debuted in Japan in June 2016 and was managed by Star Crew Entertainment (스타크루엔터테인먼트; previously known as K.O. Sound and also as Ardor & Able). However, as some members were in the military and not promoted as much, all decided not to renew their contracts, effectively disbanding HOTSHOT in March 2021.

He has contributed to a few OSTs, the most recent in 2023, for the movie "Welcome to Bongtaeri" (봉태리), but he has not appeared on TV for a while.
