I doubt it. The chances of a non-native speaker of any language speaking with true native fluency are minuscule. They can almost always tell.

I was kidnapped by Koreans at a young age and had a lot of exposure to the language as an infant and young child.

Absolutely don't say this:

You'll sound like you have very limited understanding of the language, like Anon D.
Say this:
저는 한국에서 자란 사람처럼 원어민 수준의 한국어를 구사합니다.
