According to a recent report in Human Events, Dr. Kim’s intelligence credentials have been validated by established bodies—such as the Official World Record, the World Memory Championships, and the World Memory Sports Council (in partnership with Guinness World Records).
Additionally, elite groups like the GIGA Society and Mensa reportedly confirm his IQ, lending further gravitas to his self reported figure.

More on his biography:
As of 2024, Dr. YoungHoon Kim established the world record title “The World’s Highest IQ Person Now” with IQ 276 verified by the Official World Record®, World Memory Championships and World Mind Sports Council, which is in official partnership with Guinness World Record. His record accreditation as having the world’s highest IQ comes from the World Memory Sports Council, World Memory Championships, World Speed Reading Championships, World Mind Mapping Championships, GIGA Society, Supertalent World Record & Supertalent of the World, Korea Masterpiece & Master Certification Committee, Challenge Korea Headquarters, Korea Best Record Institute, Korea Record Institute, World Genius Directory, Global Genius Registry, Esoteriq Society, Ultima Society & Nano Society. With perfect scores on various clinical and experimental high range intelligence tests, YoungHoon Kim’s high intelligence was verified by the GIGA Society (1/billion), Yale Clinical Neuroscientist PhD (1/10 million), Olympiq Society (1/3 million), Mega Society (1/million), Triple Nine Society (1/1000), and Mensa (1/50). In 2024, Dr. YoungHoon Kim was named as number one with the world’s highest IQ by Reader’s Digest, The Economist, CNN, CNBC, Us Weekly, Newsweek, etc., and he was recognized and interviewed as a South Korean with the world’s highest IQ by Arirang TV under South Korea Ministry of Culture.
According to Collin Rugg, YoungHoon Kim is citing quantum physics to support his belief in God and the existence of an afterlife.
YoungHoon Kim: I would like to share my idea—my thoughts—about the afterlife. I think our consciousness continues beyond death, definitely. Our consciousness is not just brain activity; it is something deeper. I think you believe this.
Science says that when the brain stops, our consciousness disappears. You believe this now. But quantum physics says that information never disappears—never. It only changes in form.
If our consciousness is quantum information, it may continue after the body is gone. For example, like computer data stored in the cloud, our consciousness may not be trapped in the brain. Quantum entanglement suggests that our consciousness is part of a bigger system beyond the physical world.
Some scientists and philosophers believe that our world may be a simulation created by a higher-dimensional being—which I believe. If this is true, then death is not the end, but a shift to another reality.
Just like a video game character disappears, but the player still exists, our consciousness may continue in a higher dimension like this.
Many people with near-death experiences say they saw their bodies from above or felt warm light and deep peace. They felt—yes, they say—they felt warm light and peace.
These experiences seem like moving from one system to another, I think.
If reality is part of something bigger, then death is not the end—but a transition, a shift to another reality.
Science is growing now, and we are learning more about consciousness and reality.
Our death is not destruction, but change and shift. Humanity will keep searching for the truth about what comes after—after life.
