Abstract: KIMS is a dark matter search experiment using low background CsI(TB) crystals at Yangyang Underground Laboratory in Korea. With a total exposure of 3409 kg·d data, we set a new limit on WIMP-nucleon cross section. We achieved the most stringent limit on the spin-dependent interaction for a pure proton case. We were able to exclude the DAMA signal region for both spin-dependent and spin-independent interaction for the WIMP mass greater than 20 GeV/c<superscript>2</superscript>. KIMS experiment is upgraded with 12 CsI(TB) crystals corresponding to a total mass of 104 kg and accumulating data since Jan. 2008. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
