Dr YoungHoon Kim, officially recognised as having the highest IQ in the world at 276, has gone viral for claiming that Jesus Christ will return within our generation.
The South Korean quantum physicist made the bold religious statement via X (@yhbryankimiq), citing divine revelation and scientific theory, including Einstein’s relativity and quantum physics, as evidence.
Who is Dr YoungHoon Kim?
As of 2024, Kim holds the official title of “World’s Highest IQ Person Now,” verified by the Official World Record®, the World Memory Championships, and the World Memory Sports Council, which is in partnership with Guinness World Records.
His high-range IQ score has been confirmed through various accredited tests and organisations, including:
- GIGA Society (1 in a billion)
- Olympiq Society (1 in 3 million)
- Mega Society (1 in a million)
- Triple Nine Society (1 in 1,000)
- Mensa (1 in 50)
Dr Kim is founder and CEO of NeuroStory, a deep-tech healthcare company backed by the South Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups, focusing on brain health and AI solutions. He also leads the United Sigma Intelligence Association (USIA) – a global nonprofit think tank including public intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, Steven Pinker, and Yuval Harari.
He currently collaborates with research labs at Cambridge and Yale, and serves in leadership roles at the Lifeboat Foundation, Complex Biological Systems Alliance, and International Longevity Alliance.
Kim has been awarded numerous honorary doctorates in cognitive science and psychology and is an honorary professor at several institutions.
He also holds high-ranking positions in mind sports, such as:
- Deputy President of the World Memory Championships
- Council Member of the World Mind Sports Council
- Known as “The 2nd Tony Buzan,” succeeding the inventor of Mind Maps.
“Jesus will return in our generation”
His bold statements, posted on X and YouTube, have gone viral with millions of views, shaking up both religious and scientific communities. In several posts, Kim has declared:
“I am the man with the highest IQ in the world, YoungHoon Kim… Jesus Christ will return in our generation. This is a truth revealed to me by God, the Father and the Holy Spirit.”
“From the world’s highest IQ record holder: Heaven is real. Hell is real. God is real. That’s not belief. That’s not religion. That’s not a message from a church. That’s the ultimate truth of the universe.”
“Christian Manifesto – from the world’s highest IQ record holder: 1. Jesus is God. 2. The Bible is 100% true. 3. The afterlife exists 100% 4. Heaven is real. Hell is real. 5. Evolution is a scam. 6. Feminism is a fraud. 7. Homosexuality is sin.”
Linking religion with science and quantum theory
Kim says Einstein’s theory of relativity and quantum physics support his beliefs.
“Einstein showed that time moves differently depending on speed and gravity… Quantum physics teaches that what we believe and observe can shape what becomes real.”
He suggests Jesus’ prophecy about returning during “this generation” refers to eternity rather than human perception of time.
In another post, Kim explains:
“Science says that when the brain stops, our consciousness disappears. Well, quantum physics says that information never disappears. Never. It just changes form.”
The idea that the universe may be a simulation, popularised by some scientists, is also believed by Kim.
“Some scientists and philosophers believe that our world could be a simulation created by a higher-dimensional being, which I believe.”
