Kim had already resigned after the brief imposition of martial law late Tuesday by President Yoon Suk-yeol, which saw soldiers and helicopters sent to parliament.
Yoon was forced to rescind the order hours later and parliament voted against his decree.
Kim had already been slapped with a travel ban.
Police have launched an investigation into Yoon and others for alleged insurrection.
