You won’t believe this guy’s life

Seriously, Kim Ung-yong has had quite an amazing life: Talked at 6 months, conversed normally at 1, solved differential equations at 4, attended physics classes at university as a guest student from age 3 to 6, was invited by NASA to come to the USA at age 7, finished his PhD by 16, and currently holds the Guinness Book of World Records award for Highest IQ.  Oh yeah, and he decided to live a normal life (getting a Civil Engineering degree.  Yeah, I know, ridiculous) and was called a loser for doing what he wanted.

Best comment (and follow-up): “I thought this was going to be a biography of Kim Jong-il. I heard he did stuff like this when still in the womb!” “Didn’t you hear? He saved his mother’s life by doing an appendectomy on her while still in the womb using his own fingernails.”

  1. He was on 아침마당 once. He was an instructor at chungbuk university some years ago. Now, he works for goverment.

    If every smart person like him tried to be “sucessful”, a person like me would never get a decent job. So, I am glad. haha

  2. is it “for the goverment” or “for government”?
