Kim Ljung (born 17 October 1971) is a musician from Tønsberg, Norway. He is best known as the bassist in Norwegian alternative rock band Seigmen and industrial band Zeromancer. He also appeared as guest vocalist on SubGud's Time Machine.
Kim Ljung started his musical career as bass player and songsmith in the band Klisne Seigmenn in 1989. In addition to Kim, the band consisted of his kindergarten buddy Marius Roth Christensen on guitar, singer Alex Møklebust, drummer Noralf Ronthi and guitarist Sverre Økshoff.
In the beginning, the band viewed it more as fun than as a serious outlet for their musical and artistic inspirations, playing a punkish style of rock but that changed rapidly.
In 1992, the band changed its name to Seigmen and released its first official album – the dark and unpolished Pluto – which took both the musical underground and many journalists by storm. On it they combined dark progressive rock elements with punk rock, grunge, heavy metal and perhaps a little Gothic rock. During the summer and fall, the CD was reissued in several editions to satisfy the growing number of fans. Combined with a powerful and memorable stage act, the band soon turned into a household name in the underground music scene.

It sure feels like the end of days
it should make you
Wipe the smile off your face
Im not looking for an easy wasy
out of here
Im just thinking to myself
'cause no one else seem to care
Come to think of a white satellite
rolling over a coca cola black sky
Looking up at an empty star
and what I see
Is that you were really
a piece of me
So many different ways
to lose you
So many different ways
to lose
If you could see me now
out of my shell
Then you would understand
