1
Stan: This is Kim Jung Gi.
2
You’ve probably heard of him.
3
He does these amazingly accurate drawings from his memory, without any construction lines.
4
Everybody is amazed by his memory.
5
Even me. Especially me.
6
My memory is embarrassing.
7
My name is Stan Prokopenko, in this episode of Proko I’m going to try to figure out why Kim Jung Gi is so good.
8
What makes him one of the best draftsmen in the world?

In this video we use a voice actor to translate Kim Jung Gi.
11
He’s from South Korea and doesn’t speak English.
12
KJG: I don't think it's gonna go well today!
13
Stan: Oh, and if you’re sensitive to nudity and sexual drawings, proceed with caution.
14
I drove up to LA when I heard he’s performing.
15
Maybe some of his skill will rub off on me.
16
He does events like this frequently.
17
He travels half the year.
18
The other half he spends with his family.
19
He said he tries not to draw too much when he’s home.
20
I don’t believe him.
21
He’s always drawing.
22
He draws on paper that’s way too big for most people to fill in an afternoon.
23
Not for him.
24
He’s the master.
25
And I said that he's performing.
26
It pretty much is a performance at this point.
27
He’s there to entertain.
28
Half the time, he’s cracking jokes.
29
KJG: I just made 3 mistakes. Just now!
30
Stan: People sit and watch him for 3 hours, completely mesmerized by the magic.
31
Some people ask questions.
32
Many are about his ability to visualize the drawing before he begins.
33
Audience: When did you realize you had a good memory?
34
Stan: Everyone wants to figure out how they can get this good.
35
How can I draw anything from imagination?
36
How can I get such a giant visual library in my brain?
37
Tell us the secret Kim Jung Gi!
38
I couldn’t help myself.
39
I asked about it too… Do you think you were born with a better memory than most people?
40
KJG: I’d say that I’m able to remember and recall images for a much longer period of time than most people.
41
But I also drew so much.
42
I probably drew way more than people think I have.
43
I never cared for academics, so while I was attending school I would be drawing from the first period to the very last.
44
Stan: Most people assume he has a photographic memory.
45
But when I asked him about it, he said he doesn’t.
46
Of course some part of it is a talent he was born with, but we can’t overlook how much that talent was developed.
47
Are you tired of everybody asking you about your amazing memory?
48
KJG: Yes, I wish they’d stop asking me about that.
49
Or about my brush pen.
50
If they ask me one more time, I’m going to refuse to do a live drawing session.
51
Audience: What kind of pen do you use?
52
Stan: Maybe we can find the secret in his childhood… So what do you think are the main parts of your childhood that made you become such a great artist?
53
KJG: I’ve always liked drawing, even from a young age.
54
I’m not sure why, since there was no one else in the family that shared that interest.
55
But as for me, I’d draw on any blank piece of paper I could get my hands on.
56
I was already more visually advanced than my peers in kindergarten, drawing three-dimensional objects when they were drawing in 2D.
57
And when people around me noticed my skills, I’d get compliments and affirmations, which probably motivated me to pursue the arts even more.
58
I started drawing things that interested me. As I grew I started being able to draw a lot of different things.
59
It’s definitely the support from my friends and the people around me that made me want to try harder to improve.
60
And, ever since I was little, I had a specific dream.
61
I only had one dream.
62
So I never thought I had any other option but to become an artist.
63
My school life can be summarized in two activities: kicking a ball around and drawing.
64
Yeah, I was horrible academically.
65
I used to get scolded quite often.
66
And because I was the eldest son, they weren’t so keen on me pursuing the arts.
67
So although all my school reports said “artistically talented, would be good to encourage him to pursue that field,” my parents never let me take any art classes.
68
It wasn’t until high school that they allowed me to, probably because they feared that I wouldn’t get into any colleges at that rate.
69
They preferred that I go to a college of fine arts than no college at all.
70
They actually regret that they didn’t give me an art education earlier.
71
But aside from that, they were very supportive and great parents.
72
After high school-- I mean, even before high school they supported me in my studies, although I had no interest in academics, buying fruits for me and sending me to private tutors, and so on.
73
In a lot of Asian cultures, there are bigger expectations for the eldest child, and they had big dreams for me.
74
It’s just that I didn’t follow them.
75
Stan: Kim Jung Gi doesn’t seem like the type of guy that would follow someone else’s dreams.
76
He does what he wants.
77
He says what he wants.
78
He draws what he wants.
79
What do your siblings do?
80
KJG: Uh. One, my little brother, works for a pharmaceutical company, and my little sister is married and is an ordinary housewife.
81
Stan: Are they happy?
82
KJG: I think I’m the happiest.
83
Stan: So what do you think about political correctness?
84
KJG: I’m not a fan.
85
I do try to be presentable, but I’m horrible at packaging myself up as something I’m not.
86
Stan: Are there any drawings you’ve done that are so offensive that you had to cut them from your books?
87
KJG: Yes, actually.
88
I’ve been told that my drawings are misogynistic, and I’ve had people ask me why I draw genitalia.
89
Well, I draw them because they’re there.
90
And when I was younger, I found erotic content very fun and interesting.
91
Not to say that they don’t interest me anymore.
92
I still have a lot of naughty thoughts inside me.
93
I just have more people around me that keep me under control.
94
My managers, my co-representative Kim Hyun Jin, my disciples, and such.
95
They tell me, “stop drawing stuff like that!” I used to draw whatever I wanted back when I wasn’t famous, almost like thought vomiting.
96
But since I now have a reputation to keep, I have limitations.
97
That makes me a little sad.
98
Stan: That makes me a little sad too.
99
The guy wants to draw genitalia.
100
Let him draw genitalia.
101
They’re his drawings.
102
It’s his art.
103
His expression.
104
He kinda had his last hoorah in 2015 with the release of “Omphalos”, a collection of the naughtiest of his naughty works.
105
What does your wife think of it?
106
KJG: She asks me, “how old do you think you are, to have so much naughty energy?
107
Just think about it, you’re the father of two children!” Stan: Do your kids see those drawings?
108
KJG: Yes, I don’t really hide my drawings from my kids.
109
When they want something to draw on I give them my sketchbook, and sometimes it has erotic drawings in it.
110
They seem fine, to me at least.
111
My son just says, “dad, you’re a pervert.” Kim Jung Gi isn’t the type of guy that does what others want him to do, but he had no choice when it came to the military.
112
In Korea, every man has to serve 2 years.
113
Yet even in the military, he would find clever ways to avoid doing some things.
114
Before I joined the military I heard that people, mostly those of a higher rank than you, would ask you to draw all sorts of drawings if they knew that you were an art student, like their girlfriends or their families.
115
So I pretended to draw badly on purpose, and they didn’t really ask me too many favors.
116
I really disliked these types of commissioned works.
117
I don’t even draw my own family, so why should I have to draw someone else’s?
118
There was another art student that joined a few months after me who ended up shouldering a whole lot of this burden, and when he later found out that I was actually very good at drawing, he got a little annoyed.
119
Stan: The first year is so intense, he says he couldn’t draw at all until he became a corporal, about a year and a couple months in.
120
KJG: I would draw in my head a lot.
121
For example, when I was inside a military aircraft waiting to parachute down, I would observe the internal structure of the aircraft and draw it in my mind.
122
Of course, it was a little scary, but my interests overrode any fear.
123
I would keenly observe the gears and the guns, and try to touch and feel them if I could.
124
Stan: It seems like there’s 2 major things he does that makes him, him.
125
He’s always observing.
126
He’s always focusing on how things look, and saving that into his visual library.
127
Audience: What traits do you have that make you a great artist?
128
KJG: Uh, first of all...
129
Observation skill?
130
Stan: See... Told ya.
131
KJG: In Korea, there’s a public bath house.
132
So let’s say, if I want to draw humans, then it’s an easy access.
133
Instead of drawing in a sketchbook, I would just sit there inside of a hot tub and I’ll just watch how people scrub their back.
134
Yeah, then it would just be a study.
135
People used to look at me in the public bathhouses like, “what are you doing here?” Stan: When you learn how to draw a human, or you understand the mechanics of the human body, it’s easier to learn how to draw animals.
136
There’s a lot of similarities between the anatomy.
137
After you learn how to draw a lion, drawing a tiger becomes easier.
138
It’s just a matter of studying them enough to figure out the differences.
139
KJG: So once you start to understand the content, you can manipulate them or you can change them however you want, and even merge them with mechanical elements, or human to an animal.
140
It's really just… it’s an application.
141
And that’s how you can be more free while you draw.
142
To deliver your ideas.
143
Stan: He said he drew this helmet based on a helmet he saw at an exhibition in New York.
144
The aviator goggles are from the Air & Space Museum in San Diego.
145
But he’s not drawing the exact helmet and goggles he saw.
146
He’s adjusting them and combining them with the other helmets and goggles he’s seen in his life.
147
KJG: How I work is not to deliver 1-to-1 accurate photo image to you guys, it’s more about using visual communication to make you believe what you see is correct.
148
Stan: The other thing, the second thing that makes him, him, is of course, he draws a lot.
149
He reinforces things in his visual library by drawing them.
150
KJG: I think the foundation is drawing a lot.
151
And as for myself, I alternated between drawing whatever I wanted and studying basic concepts.
152
When I get stuck in my drawings, then I would go and flip through some books or observe the world around me.
153
And when I figure out the answer, then I’d go draw some more, and repeat.
154
The fans on the facebook live streams are telling him he needs to rest.
155
This is nothing guys.
156
I mean I did this when I was in kindergarten, this is nothing guys, cmon.
157
Stan: In Korea there’s an arena for the League of Legends video game.
158
He was commissioned to do a drawing 3 meters tall by 8 meters wide.
159
That’s 10 feet by 26 feet!
160
He said he drew for 2 weeks straight with breaks to sleep and eat.
161
Probably to use the bathroom too, although he didn’t say.
162
Maybe he never takes bathroom breaks.
163
Maybe that’s his secret.
164
Lim Hur: I told him he can take a break, it’s been an hour, and he says “no, I have to finish this.” KJG: Guys, don’t move, okay? No bathroom break!
165
Stan: Do you enjoy the process more, or the final result?
166
KJG: I enjoy the process more.
167
First of all, nowadays I draw like it’s a habit.
168
I sit down, and I draw.
169
So it’s as natural for me as breathing.
170
I’m not even thinking about what I’m drawing most of the time.
171
If I can’t think of anything to draw, I just draw a person first and keep adding to it.
172
See, I still find drawing fun.
173
And I hope that I don’t lose that sense of joy for a long time.
174
Stan: He said that in 10 years, he doesn’t want to travel so much.
175
KJG: I hope to be a little more relaxed and composed.
176
I don’t want to draw so much for the purpose of showing other people, but rather for my own sake.
177
And I hope that I still have the joy for drawing that I have now.
178
Stan: When he’s not drawing for the show, he’s in the back, drawing in books that people bought.
179
Everybody that comes buys a book.
180
So he does 30+ drawings that day.
181
And that’s in addition to the 1 big one he spent 3 hours on.
182
It really is like breathing to him.
183
He even draws during our interview.
184
He says that when he travels he’s always drawing to discourage people from asking him questions.
185
I don’t believe him.
186
I think he looks for any excuse he can get to draw.
187
Drawing is breathing.
188
As long as he’s breathing, he’s happy.
189
He’s happy because he follows his gut, he does what he wants.
190
He’s happy because he gets to do what he loves, all day.
191
Lim Hur: Thank you everyone for watching the last 3 hours!
192
Stan: This is Kim Jung Gi.
193
You’ve probably heard of him.
194
He draws a lot.
195
Everybody should be amazed by how much he draws.
196
Even me. Especially me.
197
I should draw more.
198
KJG: Bye bye! Thank you!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
