Fun fact: During his SEAL career, Kim served in Task Unit Bruiser while on deployment to Ramadi, Iraq in 2006. During that time, his commanding officer was Jocko Willink (I'm sure many of you listen to the Jocko Podcast). In addition, his teammates included American Sniper Chris Kyle and Medal of Honor Recipient Mikey Mansoor. What a badass.
Wow!
👍👍👏
aaa.. you missed Marc Alan Lee
@@MK-nm7bc You're right. I missed him but there were too many badasses on that team to list. They're all heroes.
Abin Abraham and Ryan Job, hearing his story from Jocko's podcast, he seems like an incredibly fun dude to hang around with
He's parents won the ultimate "my son is a ...." game
Kevin Chou hopefully my dad doesn’t find out about this guy😂😂
Well he had a rough childhood so better not judge too quick
Go watch him on jockos podcast, his father tried to kill him and his mother and brother with a pistol, johny fought the best he could until his father struck him across the head with a dumbell, eventually they talked him out of pulling the trigger, and later that day the cops found his father in the attic of thier house and they killed him, that's just the very very short condensed story of it, if you watch the podcast its utterly inanse and sad...
Dropping bodies in Ramadi, Iraq.
Imagine telling people what he is. People are gonna be like ok you’re just making shit up now lol
Asian Dad: son, you doctor yet?
Asian Son: yes
Asian Dad: not good enough
Next marry some perfect girl your parent like
It's funny because it's true.
As an Asian, this is accurate.
PS: I’m not a doctor.
Faith Factory
asian parents wants their son to only marry asian women’s... They get disown even if they are doctors , lawyers and disobey their parents
His dad already passed away..
Telling people you're a decorated Navy Seal, a Doctor and Astronaut would make you sound like a liar and no one would believe you. But this guy is the real deal. I don't think there's ever been anyone like him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on a manned mission to Mars one day.
Damn right. Nasa would probably choose him first while planning out a mars mission. But he'll be a little old by 2030 - 2035.
gobanito I didn’t believe this title when I saw it in my recommend 😂
Sounds like Johnny sins ??
This is ultra outstanding, achieve 1 of these goals is for a very, very, very few: Seal the toughest military program in the world; only less than 1% can be approved and go to study medicine at Harvard and to be selected and approved for NASA program is for less than 0.00001% in the world. He is 'unicum' in the world, a cerebral genius version of David Goggins. As far as I research and study, he possibly has something around 170-190 IQ.
Being a Navy SEAL really set the foundation for everything, there are plenty of people like him in the special operations community. They are world class in anything they choose to be really
Teacher: what's your dream job
Kim: Yes
Morgan O'Hanlon 😂👍
All of them
🤣 my son also said yes lol 😆. Shout out to Dr. Kim though wow beyond impressive
A cop, doctor, engineer, professor, soldier, plumber, masseuse, janitor, pizza delivery guy, priest, family driver etc..
- Johnny Sins
He aint asian but he's a johnny ...
Lmao I've been looking for this comment
Well, he's Johnny
Sailor not soldier
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has a couple more things to add to his resume:
US Senator
POTUS
The Senator thing comes always after beeing an astronaut. (Jack Swyger for example)
@@schmorris Swigert, congressman not senator. More current example - Mark Kelly!
Guy has way too much honor to be a dirty politician
@@DP-eo5xd but id rather have him as president than biden
Imagine what Asian American kids have to go through now as their parents know about Jonny Kim.
Oh shit.
Lol
Don't worry, the path to being Jonny Kim is clear.
1) Join the military, become a Navy SEAL, don't get KIA.
2) Get into Harvard's medical program, and graduate.
3) Apply to the NASA astronaut program and be among the 12 out of 18,000 applicants.
You got this.
munu numu stereotypical fuck
Bruh, don't worry, Johnny Kim's parents is probably still smacking him for not being the President of the US
He went from Killing Humanity, to Saving Humanity, to escaping Humanity
Asian parent: You doctor?
Kim: Yes
Asian parent: Soldier?
Kim: Yes
Asian parent: Engineer? Astronaut?
Kim: Yes and Yes
Asian parent: *No good. Be president if you want food.*
Ahahahahahahahaha... that was gold.
Lol
I’d vote for him
We need him as President actually.
*"Wait till he sign up for President"*
I would F in vote him straight away
MTF: Nine Tailed fox I wondering why he not sign up yet.....
Heck, I think being a president would be beneath him. Why work with politicians when you can work amongst the smartest and toughest in the world?
@@UnfilteredCactus LOL definetly, politicians are liars and corrupt, doesn't matter which political party you are at, there's not honor, dignity, moral, any of that stuff when it comes to the big stage politics. I'm sure he would rather work with other Doctors, Soldiers, and Astronaut who sees the bigger picture and have so many characteristics these Senators and Presidents don't have
We should ask him to run!
Sounds dandy and all and I wish I could too but I believe he may not to be trusted considering to be an astronaut, being a Freemason is a MUST, and as we all know, Freemasonry is absolute evil as it is Luciferianism/Satanism in disguise. You know, the secret religion practiced by nearly every celebrity and globalist elite members of secret societies where they torture and saceifice children to drink their blood for adrenochrome consumption and practice sex witchcraft to manifest thwir worldy luxuries by selling their souls to the Devil-- which wxplains why their religion is a supposed to be a secret: because if you know that they believe that satan is God and that satan is real, then that must also mean Jesus Christ is real and they cant afford fkr you to know that because they absolutely hate Jesus Christ.
Jocko Willink: You know, Jonny, he's a great SEAL, such a nice, really modest guy. And, I actually wrote a recommendation for each stage of his life - Harvard medical school, residency, and now NASA. I actually was at his review board along with 2 medical officers. And I told him, Jonny, i don't know why you wanna do this. I don't like nurses. I don't like doctors. But, if you really want this, I'll support you. And, if I had to pick anyone to take care of my kids, it'd be you.
Jocko has also said that Jonny will be on the show.
Professors mentioned how all the students admired him, NASA wanted him to be selected, his residency boss WANTED him, and talked about how everyone WANTED him. His professor said that kid makes him proud to be an American.
Omg I’m crying this is too inspiring lord
@@Userhandle7384 They also talked about it on the podcast, and Jonny started laughing when Jocko recalled it.
Jonny Kim: I remember that very well, you were like [Mock Jocko voice]"Jonny, I don't know why you want to do this, but I'll support you... I would never want to do this, but good on you for wanting this."
Jocko: "WHY WOULD YOU TRADE IN AN M60 FOR A... SCALPEL?!"
"Yeah, because I saw that you were a super compassionate guy, I mean, I saw that on Day 1 with you!"
I vote for this superhero to represent this country and give inspiration to those less fortunate people hope for better life. He already inspired me.
This reminds me of a saying..."there will always be an Asian better than you"
He went on Jacko Willink's podcast, and his story was really inspirational. He came from a broken home, having an abusive dad...
Me: "serving in the canadian infantry while working on a university degree"
My parents: wHy U nO liKe KiM???he aRmy sPaCE doCtOr!!!!
Army? Shut the fuck up. He's a fucking SEAL.
army space doctor 🤣😂
@@kevinzhang3313 yea like my mom knows the difference between each branch and MOS in the military🙄, keep it cool kid.
Kevin Zhang bro you sound like you just graduated basic training shut your bitch ass up 😂
@@kevinzhang3313 You don't realize that you're disrespecting a canadian soldier, kid...
So, after this, Jonny Kim for President
I was thinking, he's like Johnny Sins, but with a small penis….
He's a navy seal , a doctor and an astronaut he does all these jobs that he's more like Johnny Sins than Johnny Kim.
Thats another accomplished way to serve our country. Maybe he’ll run presidency. Making him the most accomplished president. And one that wasn’t born with a silver spoon or had a name attached to him. True underdog. 👍🇺🇸
Nah, doesn't really seem like his kind of service, Jonny Kim is more of a actual doer who works for a living, actually getting shit done😂
He’s only 31 years old. He needs to be 35 to run.
bruh i want to hear him on the joe rogan podcast
Same
He's a braindead idiot.
Just so Joe can talk over him. Lmao
And the Jocko Willink podcast. He's a fellow Seal.
I like joe but the guy is an idiot.
I’m Filipino-American. Now I understand what my grandmother was talking about when she asked what I wanted to do with my life, I said I was going to be a physician like my father and grandfather and she said anyone can be a physician but not everyone can be an astronaut. My grandfather was a Captain in the US Army and a General Surgeon during the Bataan Death March and received a congressional medal. He was never an astronaut. I always thought about NASA after my residency and entering the military so I could apply to the NASA astronaut program. Long story short, I never became an astronaut. Much respect to Jonny Kim! Truly awesome achievements!

Thanks, Kim. You made me so proud that i'm a Korean! Be Strong, Borther!
This sounds like the Resume of a character Steven Segal would play in a super super cheesy movie.
Jonny Kim has lived a super cheesy life then, maybe too many Hollywood action war movies in his resume. But I'll give him a pass. I guess he is okay.
Rocky bad guy Ivan Drago actor is PhD of physics or something advanced also.
If there’s a guy who will cure cancer, it’s him 😂🤣
This man is Johnny Sins in real life. All he’s missing is being a mechanic, plumber, electrician, etc.
Wow I had to catch my breath.
He has a life time of life to go.
I would not believe this story if it was a movie.
A navy seal
A war hero
A doctor
A astronaut.
I can't wait to see what else he does in life.
Thank you for posting this story.
Unbelievable.
Wishing him all the best in his new journey in life.
Johnny sins did it first
He's also a level 100+ Colonel on every single Battlefield Game.
Nice sentiment but seriously doubt Dr. Kim has much free time to play video games. Besides all his accomplishments he's also a husband & parent of at least two children. Whatever spare time he has I'm pretty sure he spends with them. Will say going to be very difficult for his kids to one-up their dad. He's a real life Forrest Gump but a heck of a lot smarter & his life story is Hollywood material.
@@NesconProductions wel then, remind me not to invite you to any parties this year
Everyone making "Asian" jokes, He's more American than any white suburban kid.
He's a 1st generation. His parents are immigrants.

Kim Jong Un: I'm a most Famous person of 'Kim'
Jonny Kim: 'Hold my suits'
This guy just destroyed the “Lifetime Achievement” Bell Curve! They should make him the first Commandant of the new Space Force.
Stop, Remove this before my parents see this. Lmaoo
Hes a serious warrior and walks a serious path in life. You see him kneeling, praying and wiping a tear in the video of Mike Monsoor's memorial in Iraq. So all of you, stop with the Asian jokes because he is a hardcore American hero.
Kevin Lacz, writer of 'The Last Punisher', mentions in the book how Kim was always emailing/on-phone/chat with her girlfriend when the SEAL team was in Iraq. One time, sirens at the base went off due to incoming mortar shells and people were supposed to take shelter in bunkers.
Kim didn't get into shelter because he didn't hear the sirens, and got chewed out for it. Turns out he had been talking to his girlfriend on phone while sitting behind a loud AC unit and didn't hear the sirens. I believe the same girlfriend is now his wife, with 2 kids.
Kim actually mentions that in a NASA interview
If you want someone to look up to, to emulate and serve as an example to the next generation look no further than this man... What an absolute badass...
Bro, take it down a level, you’re making us look bad
Totalavulsion he could it 2 levels down and still make us look bad lol
@@89turbomk3 make it 3 and he still make us looks bad bruh
Having done one of the three (doctor), can't imagine finding the ability, time and stamina to do the other two. This guy is amazing.
His interview on jocko’s podcast is a must!!!
Both of his parents are Korean.
They emigrated to the United States in early 1980.
Here's why Jonny Kim joined the Navy SEAL.
His father used alcoholism and domestic violence.
One day, my father used violence against my mother.
He used violence against Jonny Kim who tried to stop it, shot it in the air, etc.
My mother called the police when the situation became dangerous.
The father was killed by a police officer's gun.
Before the police came in, Jonny Kim told his father, "Just run away," but he didn't.
Ordinary people give up in this kind of family setting, but Jonny Kim says he joined the Navy SEAL to overcome this.
"What I think is superior to others is poisoning myself," said Johnny Kim. "Working hard and delaying satisfaction is all I can do.
There is a founding myth called "Hong-Ik-Inkan(홍익인간)" in Korea.
It means "to make human beings widely beneficial."
I hope Johnny Kim's values to overcome his unfortunate environment and become a helpful person to the world will be successful.
Since I have spent far too much time reading up about the battle of Ramadi and listening to Jocko's podcast:
The book 'The Last Punisher' talks about Jonny Kim a bit. 'The Last Punisher' was written by Kevin Lacz (who was the ex-navy seal who stared as himself in American Sniper). I was surprised that Jonny wasn't mentioned in American Sniper, since it seems he was there at the time. This was when Jocko Willink was the task unit commander.
Jonny was the one who treated Ryan Job on the scene when Ryan is hit - I think that this is what motivated Jonny to get into medicine - he mentioned being motivated to do this after one of his friends is wounded - and I think it was Ryan he was referring to.
Probably for the same reason he'll get played by a white guy in a movie...
There was a random Asian guy in American Sniper but didn't have any lines. I'm guessing that was supposed to be Jonny Kim.
@@adonal-foyle Hey. I didn't see it. I'll have to go back and have a look at it again. I missed have missed it.
@@nequals151 I just watched it on TV yesterday. I know about this story months ago from reddit, so I was really focused on finding Jonny Kim in american sniper.
There are two asian dudes that appear near Chris Kyle. First one when Kyle touched down in Iraq and received short briefing from Marc Lee in a truck, before his sniper overwatch/fire support mission. He looked young and clean shaven.
The 2nd one when Marc Lee and/or Kyle was briefing in a "war room" or sorts, and there was another Asian dude, a bit older and pretty sure he got a moustache.
Don't know which one is Jonny Kim, but yeah there is an Asian in kyle's team
@@mcaesario hey man. Thanks. Now I'm gonna go find Jonny. Like wheres Waldo American sniper style.
He told he's single mom he wants to start from the trenches! He's mom was adamantly opposed to this idea. Well your son is a hero now.
mad respect for Navy Seals, some of the toughest training you could imagine...but the top medical school in the world at Harvard? Then fighting 9G's in a simulator for Astronaut training... simply unreal.
Jonathan: Mom I graduated BUD/S, are you proud of me yet ?
Mom: are you doctor yet?
Jonathan: no mom I joined the navy.
Mom: you no talk to me until you doctor.
Jonathan: mom I graduated Harvard medical school .
Mom: that’s nothing Danq’s son just graduated from aerospace flight school.
Jonathan: mom I just graduated astronaut school.
Mom: so what, did you hear that Jimmy’s son is running for senate.
Robert McCutcheon lmao
This guy is literally insaine. He has either found the ability to stop time or go back in time to just be able to do all that.
Found the answer about which training was the toughest Kim considers, SEAL, Harvard medical, or astronaut?
In his NASA interview after the astronaut training, he said the SEAL training was the toughest.
So this guy is the actual main character in life right?
Obviously
He's like my Skyrim character... wait, hol' up, you're the Dragonborn, the Archmage, Master of the Thieves Guild, and Leader of the Dark Brotherhood?
Yes....
6:40 Which part did he struggle with the most? I believe the answer is none of the above because it was probably his childhood. I just came from the Jocko podcast on him and after the first 10 minutes of the interview, he talked about his childhood. It was some of the darkest, most heartbreaking things ever. He had to deal with an abusive, drunk father growing up trying to protect his mother and younger brother. His father's death is absolutely chilling. So add on, what he had to go through in his childhood as well makes this guy's life even more unbelievable.
Amazing accomplishments! I have always admired Asian Americans who seem to work hard at achieving and rarely complain about the rest of the country.
We need more Americans like him! With a supportive foundation anything is possible!
He did not have a supportive foundation. He had an abusive father. His father was killed by the police in an incident in his teens when he tried to kill him and his mother.
Yancy Cusap I did not know, thank you. Makes his story even more great, especially to others who are in the same situation he was as a child.🙏🏽 I hope his mom raised him because if she did by herself, she did a wonderful job! My dad died when I was 6 & my mom had to raise me & my 2 brothers by herself. She was both parents to us, thought us how to play football, cook, yard work, cleaning the house, she did however not teach violence. She said we’ll have to learn to defend ourselves as life goes on, but she wasn’t going to teach such a evil thing. I’m grateful she didn’t leave or kill herself also. She made us into men. Thank you for the information & Have a wonderful day & life my friend.
I don't think anybody can top this guy. He's a super ultra overachiever. The best America has to offer
Kim's interview with Jocko is great. His story about his dad is nuts, go give it a listen if you want to know more from the man himself.
Now that is one awesome American citizen! Thank you for you all that you have done for this country and for all you will yet do !
You are a true American sir !!
Jonny Kim: exists
Johnny Sins: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
Kim just did a podcast with Jocko Willink. One of the best podcasts I've heard. Without giving too much away, he had an extremely tough rough childhood. Highly suggest that pod cast for everyone
Jonny Kim:
Johnny Sins: Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle would be legendary!
You have to admired what he went through as a kid until he graduate from High School that you can truly grasped the extend of his accomplishment. He did not come from a loving home and struggled most of his early years that forged him to be the man he is today. If he decides to run for President, its impossible to beat him considering his backgrounds.
"Jonny was running point for his squad when a muj machine gunner set loose on him, pinning him down for a few minutes. He was damn lucky to get out of it without getting shot. The look on Jonnys face was pure disbelief. 'Fuck,' Jonny said. 'That was gnarly.' 'It was,' Ryan chimed in." ~Kevin Lacz, "The Last Punisher"
"We were lucky he couldn't shoot." ~Chris Kyle, "American Sniper"

I am Asian, graduated HS in 2002, college in San Diego, graduated medical school in 2016, ER medicine route. But while he was training as a Navy Seal, I guess I was just partying. Can I just play his reject non Harvard educated evil twin in a movie ?

Johnny Sins isn’t real though.
When u say ur a navy seal to NASA they would be like “stop right there ur hired”
Hope my asian parents never get to see this dude.
😂🤣
LOL
This guy is the Asian of Asians. Normal Asians get great grades, a degree and a career. This guy takes it to the next level. He has all our jobs combined
If you really want to know Kim watch/listen to him on Jocko podcast.
I wonder if the “never give up” mentality that SEALS have made him able to accomplish these things
He actually got through that training because of his childhood trauma. He’s already been through worse so everything after is just easy for him.

When he runs for president his ads should just say: I’m a father of 3 whose also a US Navy Seal, a Harvard Doctor, an Astronaut, and last but not least, an American, please vote for me to change this country...etc Yeah I’m gonna vote for that.
There are no dummies in the Astronaut program, only smart people which can keep a cool head in space.
Let’s just admire the fact he doesn’t look a day older in any of the photos
Kim should be EVERY kids role model.

Fun fact he is not the first astronaut from his highschool, Santa Monica high. And they number in only the few hundreds. This guys is nuts. This dude very well could be the most capable man in the world, like if you want to keep 1 guy around at the end of the world, it would be him.
Can’t wait to read his book one day. Especially about his time on TAsk unit Bruiser with Jocko and as first man to walk on Mars 🤣
Probably will never write one.
He is a Hero (navy seal) he is a savyor (doctor), he is an adventurer (astronot)
He’s literally lived the perfect life and he’s only 36.

Nobody beats Johnny Sins. A navy seal, doctor, astronaut, firemen, dentist, plumber, carpenter, police, spy, ceo of sins inc., and many more jobs he didm
Except for Jonathan Kim cause he’s real.
6:50 I think the hardest would be the military life tho, I'm sure as a combatant but also medic, he witnessed many friends die but also have them die in his hands plus how gruesome war is.
He’s also Lieutenant, Sniper, and Navy Seal.
I once chewed gum and walked at the same time... didn't see that on his resume... ha!
Seriously congrats for such impressive accomplishments!!
lot of jokes here about "asian parents" with high expectations, lol i get it, but people should listen to Jocko's recent podcast with Jonny.. his upbringing is much much darker than I ever imagined
True bro....one of the best podcast i ever listened to....it's my humble opinion and many may disagree but what i learnt from the podcast is that he is not a genius...above average intelligence yes...but not a genius or a prodigy....what he actually is one of the most hardworking,determined and motivated people ever who believes living his life to its full potential and making best of every opportunity life gives him......I think he really should be the role model for our young kids and teenagers not the bloody you tubers,tik tok stars or the damned Kardashians.
His name is Jonny? There's another Johnny who is an astronaut, doctor, fireman, nurse, policeman, counselor, lecturer, the list goes on...
"Some of the best of the best..this year was the first year that's ever been half women."
Nice to see that affirmative action will be alive and well in space.
@Nah mate I'm not quite sure if eaither of you troglodytes understand that the future of mankind will require both men and women to go to space! Crazy right?
@Nah mate you're an idiot, the women who have been selected to go to space aren't going to panic over small things. Your entire comment is sexist, just go and look up the female 2017 candidates, look at their accolades and achievements. You say in 50 years time, women have already been flying in space since nearly the beginning, where are all these faults youve brought up in them? Were their missions failures? Your Logic is beyond flawed, they aren't less qualified, get a grip you moron. For the women of tomorrow to want to strive to be astronauts, they need their role models. How will we breed the next generation of these explorers if the image is only of male astronauts? Just stop and think about girls and young women who could be the next prodigys in these fields but never even got started because there confidence was crushed by some ignorant retard such as yourself..
@Nah mate Just as an example: Jasmin Moghbeli.
"Moghbeli commissioned as a US Marine Corps officer, and trained to become an AH-1 Super Cobra pilot. She deployed three times, and completed 150 combat missions. She received a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate Schools. She attended the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School in Patuxent River, Maryland, and became a helicopter test pilot at VMX-1 at MCAS Yuma. Go on and tell me how the NAVY test pilot is going to break under pressure and make it all about her emotions. Fucking loser..
@Nah mate Ok how about you show me the list of men who got turned down and their achievements so we can compare? Or are you really just talking straight out of your ass. Do you realise how backwards you sound? "A few of the women can do what men can do" im sorry to break it to you, but there are only a 'few' men who can do what the astronauts are doing also, thats the point. Your long rant about women being more emotional is irelevant in this case. "Look it up" how about you provide a source, your the one making these insane claims about women, the burden of proof lies on you. Although I bet you can't prove anything.. give me ONE just ONE example of a man with better credentials who didn't get a spot on the 2017 NASA Astronaut candidate class because of one of the women. Just ONE...
I've never seen a more severe case of fragile masculinity.. who hurt you? LOL.
I agree men and women have their differences psychologically and physically and aren't equal physiologically, to think that its releveant when it comes to this is just absurd. These women are highly talented, highly skilled individuals who have been screened by NASA and who have trained for almost their entire lives in their professions before now. They aren't the type to have a mood swing. What about this is so hard for you to understand buddy?
@Nah mate Oh wow, how boring. Yet exactly as I expected, not a single shred of evidence. Im not/never have refuted that in the military women are being given positions over more qualified men to fill a quota. I'm not sure why you just went on that huge rant, but to imply that to this scenario which is entirely different is just ignorant. It's sad but it comes down to cost. This space program has a large amount of wealth to spend on hiring just a handfull of candidates every few years. You saying that women as a gender are generally more emotional than men, that is not correct 100% of the time. There are millions of men who are more emotional than alot of women and guess what.. they didn't get the job.. To imply that they are simply employing women as affirmative action the same as in the military is nonsensical.. The government dosen't care about individual soldiers lives, which is clear when you see them putting women in combat roles. But space being the future of our civilisation, all eyes are on the American astronauts, they wouldn't dare risk their public image. And they haven't. Case Closed. Please stop trying to assume it is the same as in the military, especially when you can't back it up. Surely you can see that. If not then I accept the fact that ive wasted my time and that you're simply set in your sexist view towards some of the most hard working, motivational women alive today. And for what?
Been a fan of Jonny since reading about him in "American Sniper" and "The Last Punisher"...
