Stan: This is Kim Jung Gi.

You’ve probably heard of him.

He does these amazingly accurate drawings from his memory, without any construction lines.

Everybody is amazed by his memory.

Even me. Especially me.

My memory is embarrassing.

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.

What makes him one of the best draftsmen in the world?

In this video we use a voice actor to translate Kim Jung Gi.

He’s from South Korea and doesn’t speak English.

KJG: I don't think it's gonna go well today!

Stan: Oh, and if you’re sensitive to nudity and sexual drawings, proceed with caution.

I drove up to LA when I heard he’s performing.

Maybe some of his skill will rub off on me.

He does events like this frequently.

He travels half the year.

The other half he spends with his family.

He said he tries not to draw too much when he’s home.

I don’t believe him.

He’s always drawing.

He draws on paper that’s way too big for most people to fill in an afternoon.

Not for him.

He’s the master.

And I said that he's performing.

It pretty much is a performance at this point.

He’s there to entertain.

Half the time, he’s cracking jokes.

KJG: I just made 3 mistakes. Just now!

Stan: People sit and watch him for 3 hours, completely mesmerized by the magic.

Some people ask questions.

Many are about his ability to visualize the drawing before he begins.

Audience: When did you realize you had a good memory?

Stan: Everyone wants to figure out how they can get this good.

How can I draw anything from imagination?

How can I get such a giant visual library in my brain?

Tell us the secret Kim Jung Gi!

I couldn’t help myself.

I asked about it too… Do you think you were born with a better memory than most people?

KJG: I’d say that I’m able to remember and recall images for a much longer period of time than most people.

But I also drew so much.

I probably drew way more than people think I have.

I never cared for academics, so while I was attending school I would be drawing from the first period to the very last.

Stan: Most people assume he has a photographic memory.

But when I asked him about it, he said he doesn’t.

Of course some part of it is a talent he was born with, but we can’t overlook how much that talent was developed.

Are you tired of everybody asking you about your amazing memory?

KJG: Yes, I wish they’d stop asking me about that.

Or about my brush pen.

If they ask me one more time, I’m going to refuse to do a live drawing session.

Audience: What kind of pen do you use?

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?

KJG: I’ve always liked drawing, even from a young age.

I’m not sure why, since there was no one else in the family that shared that interest.

But as for me, I’d draw on any blank piece of paper I could get my hands on.

I was already more visually advanced than my peers in kindergarten, drawing three-dimensional objects when they were drawing in 2D.

And when people around me noticed my skills, I’d get compliments and affirmations, which probably motivated me to pursue the arts even more.

I started drawing things that interested me. As I grew I started being able to draw a lot of different things.

It’s definitely the support from my friends and the people around me that made me want to try harder to improve.

And, ever since I was little, I had a specific dream.

I only had one dream.

So I never thought I had any other option but to become an artist.

My school life can be summarized in two activities: kicking a ball around and drawing.

Yeah, I was horrible academically.

I used to get scolded quite often.

And because I was the eldest son, they weren’t so keen on me pursuing the arts.

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.

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.

They preferred that I go to a college of fine arts than no college at all.

They actually regret that they didn’t give me an art education earlier.

But aside from that, they were very supportive and great parents.

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.

In a lot of Asian cultures, there are bigger expectations for the eldest child, and they had big dreams for me.

It’s just that I didn’t follow them.

Stan: Kim Jung Gi doesn’t seem like the type of guy that would follow someone else’s dreams.

He does what he wants.

He says what he wants.

He draws what he wants.

What do your siblings do?

KJG: Uh. One, my little brother, works for a pharmaceutical company, and my little sister is married and is an ordinary housewife.

Stan: Are they happy?

KJG: I think I’m the happiest.

Stan: So what do you think about political correctness?

KJG: I’m not a fan.

I do try to be presentable, but I’m horrible at packaging myself up as something I’m not.

Stan: Are there any drawings you’ve done that are so offensive that you had to cut them from your books?

KJG: Yes, actually.

I’ve been told that my drawings are misogynistic, and I’ve had people ask me why I draw genitalia.

Well, I draw them because they’re there.

And when I was younger, I found erotic content very fun and interesting.

Not to say that they don’t interest me anymore.

I still have a lot of naughty thoughts inside me.

I just have more people around me that keep me under control.

My managers, my co-representative Kim Hyun Jin, my disciples, and such.

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.

But since I now have a reputation to keep, I have limitations.

That makes me a little sad.

Stan: That makes me a little sad too.

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!

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
