I could never met a man like him, I'm a big fan of athletes the likes of jordan and kobe for their physical and mental toughness and for those who succeed from nothing into someting but this guy, he deserves all the credit, imagine to achieve to be an astronaut,navy seal and a doctor..just wow..it changed my life instantly. The way he thinks is extraordinary.. I salute you man.. For me you are one of the greatest persons in history of human kind. Love for you brother.
*Great stuff 🤍 GOD bless y’all;* Please I’ve a question here and hoping I get best answers. For someone with $50,000 to invest, How would we get into the market. What’s your say on this?
Him being able to forgive and love his father is probably the biggest accomplishment. Believe me, some people will go to their grave with hatred in their heart
His race has nothing to do with his achievements. I just wanted to let you know that you missed the message when you only associated him with his race.
My exhusband is a well connected medical doctor who severely abused our children. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you it helps me to understand how my children feel.
I see a lot of suggestions that his life should be made into a movie. I don’t believe a 2 hour movie could do justice to what this man has been through and what he has accomplished up to this point in his life, I’m thinking more along the lines of a Netflix like series.
I rather have a great movie made than a dime a dozen Netflix series that only a certain niche of people would watch. People will come together with a movie, especially if it’s good. Like how everyone adored “Bohemian Rapsody”.
Literally, the dude said it, make a plan and have the discipline to stick to the plan. I am in my 3rd year of medical school while also being an officer in the army. I don't think I want to be an astronaut, but it's doable for everyone else.

I’m kinda envy him. Because just like him, I grew up in domestic violence too, the only difference, is my father don’t have a gun, no police intervention and, he is still very much alive till this day. I aspire to be doctor, scientist and many more, to change the world and my own fate. But I had to first spent years of efforts and money to overcome depression and childhood trauma. But just when I finally recovered, and feel like I’m ready to take off, I had to look after my ailing mother. Life keep giving me endless stuff to overcome. Not sure if I ever get to achieve my dream. Anyway, it’s a relief to know that someone else who share similar experiences did succeeded
If he ever had a movie. It would be called," Before 36," most people in their 30's are mid is probably regretting their life choices right now. Hats goes off for this guy, he took his life, and molded it with his own hands.
As someone who came from abusive household, I know how hard it is to break the cycle. I had fear of talking to people, being looked down, failures, or being disliked by others. I was always afraid. and people wouldn't understand why I act the way I do and stepped on me more. I had to go through many inner and outer struggles to get to where I am now. And now I am 36 with wife and two years old baby. I am not completely am at where I want to be. But at least now I know better than to beg for other's validation on me to prove I am not worthless. It took many years, but I am my own person now and much happier than ever before.
I think it’s very hard for others to understand the difficulty of telling the people who’ve abused you that you love them. I once told a therapist that my ultimate goal in life was to be able to say those words. The thing that finally clicked for me was a new understanding of the concept of forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t a one time decision. It’s a choice that you make every day and a choice you make every time that you say you love someone. I’m incredibly impressed by this man’s accomplishments, but it’s clear to me that Jonny’s hardest achievement was the forgiveness of his father and the ability to say that he loves his father. He chooses forgiveness rather than anger or hatred or vengeance. That part is what I found truly motivational.
There are many like him in the United States armed forces and serves as a reminder that if you work hard you can achieve greatness just like Mr Kim, regardless of past trauma in life. He is a true American hero. Very inspiring story.
Agree with this very much. I've worked with former military guys during my first year of welding inspection. They're very good at their jobs not because they're gifted or lucky or the smartest, but because of their tiptop teamwork, accountability, and attention to detail
Exactly what I needed to hear right now. I grew up without a father and had nobody to help me in life. I can fully relate to what he said, " I feel so much anger and hate towards everything all the time". I am gonna do something big in my life that will inspire the kids in the future

This guy is clearly gifted. To be able to accomplish even a single achievement this guy has done, is a extremely impressive and difficult. This guy is like a human cheat code.
All his accomplishments are awesome but the fact that he was able to say he loves his father and forgave him is admirable. You can have all these accomplishments but if you never deal with your inner demons you can't really enjoy life to the full. Awesome.
What an iconic legend. Johnny Kim is the true living embodiment of the All-American Hero, while remaining the most humble and self-effacing human being on earth.
Huge respect for this gentleman and all-around amazing guy. Let's not call him a superhero. People don't understand there is a terrible burden put on the recipients of that label.
@Not Convinced let's see Navy Seal medic, Doctor, and Astronaut and you probably haven't accomplished 1% of anything remotely close to that. So keep your shitty opinion to yourself. $10 says you couldn't pass the first week of SEAL TRAINING
Historian speculated that back then. greek heroes that are originally humans were called heroes because they endured unimaginable horror/pain/torture etc. So yeah, maybe we should call this normal guy a hero.
I’m not gonna lie I saw this guy credentials and immediately felt some envy an awe. Then I heard his story from his voice and well... he earned my respect. Wow
This man has been one of my heroes for the better part of my life. He's the reason I chose to take my destiny into my own hands. As of right now, I'm shipping off for the Navy in 4 months with a Spec Ops contract under my belt. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for my discovery of this remarkable man. Thank you, Jonny Kim.

Makes sense why he has all these achievements, for him productivity is his way forgetting his past. It’s his coping mechanism and that actually means the bounds for him are limitless.

Hollywood would never make a movie about him, Hollywood to the west hates asians in general. Always gives asian the streotypical racist roles as the nerds, weak, accent, etc etc.
To everybody saying that they should made a movie about him: fun fact, actually there is already a movie that is based on what he is telling. He was part of Chris Kyle platoon that fought in Ramadi, so Clint Eastwood's movie American Sniper about Chris is partly about him too. His friend that died, Ryan Job, is the character that lost his eye and died after surgery, and Marc Lee is the soldier that was shot in the head when they are going into a house. If you want more info about Jonny past in the Seals, check out the book The Last Punisher, there you will find some good stories about their unit.
@@rajs7876 Yeah I obviously know that he is not a character in that movie, if so, I would have said so. I'm saying that there is already a movie about the story that he is telling when he fought in Irak as a SEAL, because he was part of the real life events that inspired that movie, as a member of SEAL Team 3 Charlie Platoon back in Ramadi 2006.
@@nanlin8522 Because American Sniper is not about Jonny Kim, is about the life of Chris Kyle. What I'm saying is that in real life, Kim and Kyle were part of the same unit, so when Hollywood made a movie about Chris Kyle, partly they made a movie about a Kim too, even when there is not a character that played him, as he fought in the Battle of Ramadi in 2006 as member of SEAL team 3 Charlie Platoon.

I encourage everyone to listen to him on the jocko podcast. After you listen to it start writing him in for president. We need men like him in leadership of the country.
His resume alone, would get him any where in life. He's everything I wish to be! He's a very well overly accomplished man, with all the bragging right!
Yeah but like most successful people, they are not motivated by the desire to be able to brag. that is pathetic. it is about finding meaningful goals and doing fir others along the way
What a legend. Everything this man pursued was for the benefit of mankind. I know a movie wouldn’t do him justice bc of what he’s been through but a movie about his story would absolutely inspire millions more.
@@DB-ju7vp its hard for people to see other people live their dreams or be more successful especially when they base their own success off theirs and others achievements
same when meeting my uncle's friend who flew the OV-10 Bronco during Vietnam. Very quiet guy but you really felt his presence in the room. So much respect for combat pilots in general.
I admire your strength and courage. I’m sorry you suffered so much pain as a child. But, very thankful that you chose a great path in life and protected us also. Thank you for all your great sacrifices! The world is a better place for all you have done as a Navy Seal, as a Doctor and now an astronaut. Be proud of your accomplishments! You are a very special human being…never forget that and who you are. Time heals everything…
Unbelievably inspiring... that he could take the life he was given and turn it around in such a short period... what a positive statement his life is....
No, a movie is just going to ruin the story telling. History and storytelling such as podcast or book is better than a movie. But you can be the first to write the script.
Those who have watched the 4 plus hours of the Jocko podcast will appreciate the sheer master craft in effective communication between two elite soldiers discussing deeply emotional topics.
This left me in tears. I had written (still working on the script) about a fictional character (male teen) who also has deep, emotional challenges with his father because of similar circumstances to the ones described here (physically abusive father). I felt I was hearing my character speak. 👀 This is motivating me to work more on my story. This is deeply inspirational! He is a spiritual warrior & light worker. 💪🏻
Dude is basically the embodiment of the man we envision to be as an adult when most of us were kids. Much respect to him for doing accomplishing all these things.

I could never met a man like him, I'm a big fan of athletes the likes of jordan and kobe for their physical and mental toughness and for those who succeed from nothing into someting but this guy, he deserves all the credit, imagine to achieve to be an astronaut,navy seal and a doctor..just wow..it changed my life instantly. The way he thinks is extraordinary.. I salute you man.. For me you are one of the greatest persons in history of human kind. Love for you brother.

Big respect to this man. 💪✌️
*Great stuff 🤍 GOD bless y’all;* Please I’ve a question here and hoping I get best answers. For someone with $50,000 to invest, How would we get into the market. What’s your say on this?
@Diana fullen that’s great, you’re right I do need a Professional.
Pls how do I approach Diana?
I will be delighted to take part in this great experience
@Diana fullen Is she operational worldwide?
I’m in Norway.
The best way to investing is to get in touch a financial advisor who understands more better, that way maximum profit will be the outcome.
Him being able to forgive and love his father is probably the biggest accomplishment. Believe me, some people will go to their grave with hatred in their heart
👏👏👏
facts!!
Don't do it. Hate in your heart for one person will affect other areas in your life. Trust me.
I am so proud of him for being A Korean American myself
May God bless him and his family
His race has nothing to do with his achievements. I just wanted to let you know that you missed the message when you only associated him with his race.
My exhusband is a well connected medical doctor who severely abused our children. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you it helps me to understand how my children feel.
Is he still practicing? I hope not. And best wishes to your children!
May God heal your children and you
I see a lot of suggestions that his life should be made into a movie. I don’t believe a 2 hour movie could do justice to what this man has been through and what he has accomplished up to this point in his life, I’m thinking more along the lines of a Netflix like series.
You should see his podcast with Jocko Willink
This
💜💚💜💚
You’d probably have to bend the truth and add characters into his life to make it into a series
I rather have a great movie made than a dime a dozen Netflix series that only a certain niche of people would watch. People will come together with a movie, especially if it’s good. Like how everyone adored “Bohemian Rapsody”.
Literally, the dude said it, make a plan and have the discipline to stick to the plan. I am in my 3rd year of medical school while also being an officer in the army. I don't think I want to be an astronaut, but it's doable for everyone else.
Good going buddy

- First, he is an actual astronaut.
Waiting for his flight assignment in December 20, 2020. But because of the pandemic it was cancelled and now is in training for Moon Landing in 2024. Even if he only a possible candidates, that itself is pretty impressive.
- Second, his medical license was never removed(I mean how can he be an astronaut if it was removed?). And he sexually assaulted his patients was a fake news.
- Third, he was still a Navy Reserve in January 2020 and never been discharged from service. He is only discharged from active duty because he chose to pursue higher education. So while he becoming an astronaut, he is technically is still a Navy Reserve troops.
We are proud of you and your achievements not because of them but because of your passion
AND a doctor..!?!? Wow. This dude has accomplished so much with lots of dedication and perseverance. Incredible. Kudos
His idol was johnny sins probably
Not any medical school… Harvard educated phD! He recently add another title, A Medic Pilot.
I’m kinda envy him. Because just like him, I grew up in domestic violence too, the only difference, is my father don’t have a gun, no police intervention and, he is still very much alive till this day.
I aspire to be doctor, scientist and many more, to change the world and my own fate. But I had to first spent years of efforts and money to overcome depression and childhood trauma.
But just when I finally recovered, and feel like I’m ready to take off, I had to look after my ailing mother. Life keep giving me endless stuff to overcome. Not sure if I ever get to achieve my dream.
Anyway, it’s a relief to know that someone else who share similar experiences did succeeded
He has a smile for every career choice that fits perfectly. He's a warrior. God bless him and his family.
Those career he made choices the one word "Hero" .... to save lives. Amazing...
If he ever had a movie. It would be called," Before 36," most people in their 30's are mid is probably regretting their life choices right now. Hats goes off for this guy, he took his life, and molded it with his own hands.

As someone who came from abusive household, I know how hard it is to break the cycle. I had fear of talking to people, being looked down, failures, or being disliked by others. I was always afraid. and people wouldn't understand why I act the way I do and stepped on me more. I had to go through many inner and outer struggles to get to where I am now. And now I am 36 with wife and two years old baby. I am not completely am at where I want to be. But at least now I know better than to beg for other's validation on me to prove I am not worthless. It took many years, but I am my own person now and much happier than ever before.
Also from an abusive household. It just makes me want to kill myself thinking about it some times
It’s not your fault
May God heal you from your pain
I think it’s very hard for others to understand the difficulty of telling the people who’ve abused you that you love them. I once told a therapist that my ultimate goal in life was to be able to say those words. The thing that finally clicked for me was a new understanding of the concept of forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t a one time decision. It’s a choice that you make every day and a choice you make every time that you say you love someone. I’m incredibly impressed by this man’s accomplishments, but it’s clear to me that Jonny’s hardest achievement was the forgiveness of his father and the ability to say that he loves his father. He chooses forgiveness rather than anger or hatred or vengeance. That part is what I found truly motivational.
There are many like him in the United States armed forces and serves as a reminder that if you work hard you can achieve greatness just like Mr Kim, regardless of past trauma in life. He is a true American hero. Very inspiring story.
Amen bro
Agree with this very much. I've worked with former military guys during my first year of welding inspection.
They're very good at their jobs not because they're gifted or lucky or the smartest, but because of their tiptop teamwork, accountability, and attention to detail
This made me cry! 👏👏😭😭💜💚
Dr. Kim
Theres no one like him
Exactly what I needed to hear right now. I grew up without a father and had nobody to help me in life. I can fully relate to what he said, " I feel so much anger and hate towards everything all the time". I am gonna do something big in my life that will inspire the kids in the future

This man is showing by example that you can move forward despite a dark past, and what’s possible when you’re determined. Amazing!
As a korean american, dude is truly inspirational as we come from the same background. He makes me think anything is possible.
All his accomplishments are awesome but the fact that he was able to say he loves his father and forgave him is admirable. You can have all these accomplishments but if you never deal with your inner demons you can't really enjoy life to the full. Awesome.
Preach!!
What an iconic legend. Johnny Kim is the true living embodiment of the All-American Hero, while remaining the most humble and self-effacing human being on earth.
And he is asian
I totally agree with you
A true example of "you can be anything and everything you want"❤️
In Christ who gives me strength I can do anything (Philippians 4:13).
Huge respect for this gentleman and all-around amazing guy. Let's not call him a superhero. People don't understand there is a terrible burden put on the recipients of that label.

@Not Convinced Your username perfectly describes all of us.
Historian speculated that back then. greek heroes that are originally humans were called heroes because they endured unimaginable horror/pain/torture etc. So yeah, maybe we should call this normal guy a hero.
I’m not gonna lie I saw this guy credentials and immediately felt some envy an awe. Then I heard his story from his voice and well... he earned my respect. Wow

Makes sense why he has all these achievements, for him productivity is his way forgetting his past. It’s his coping mechanism and that actually means the bounds for him are limitless.
I'm 52, I spent 30 years in the Marine Corps (I still love eating crayons) and this makes me want to scream "You can be what you want to be." Jonny is a person we could all strive to be and the world would be better for it.....and there would also be some proud moms....
Eating crayons?.!

My man still struggling with pain after all his success... Stay strong - The memories you made, good and bad have made you to be who are you today. Enjoy your success from all your hard work.
They should make a movie about him so more people could know his story and be inspired
He has many movies already
@@morijin5568 can you plz name some
They will, but it'll be a white actor and they will change his name to Johnny Daivs
Yes quite motivational
Hollywood would never make a movie about him, Hollywood to the west hates asians in general. Always gives asian the streotypical racist roles as the nerds, weak, accent, etc etc.
To everybody saying that they should made a movie about him: fun fact, actually there is already a movie that is based on what he is telling. He was part of Chris Kyle platoon that fought in Ramadi, so Clint Eastwood's movie American Sniper about Chris is partly about him too. His friend that died, Ryan Job, is the character that lost his eye and died after surgery, and Marc Lee is the soldier that was shot in the head when they are going into a house. If you want more info about Jonny past in the Seals, check out the book The Last Punisher, there you will find some good stories about their unit.
I think they mean a movie about his life journey.
yeah but where was he in the movie?/I think you missed the point
The character is a white man in the movie.
@@rajs7876 Yeah I obviously know that he is not a character in that movie, if so, I would have said so. I'm saying that there is already a movie about the story that he is telling when he fought in Irak as a SEAL, because he was part of the real life events that inspired that movie, as a member of SEAL Team 3 Charlie Platoon back in Ramadi 2006.
@@nanlin8522 Because American Sniper is not about Jonny Kim, is about the life of Chris Kyle. What I'm saying is that in real life, Kim and Kyle were part of the same unit, so when Hollywood made a movie about Chris Kyle, partly they made a movie about a Kim too, even when there is not a character that played him, as he fought in the Battle of Ramadi in 2006 as member of SEAL team 3 Charlie Platoon.
Chris Kyle got a movie but not even a mention of this guy come one? This guy and Andrew Nyguen are very inspirational people
