Kim was born with several rare birth defects which affected his brain. Doctors told Kim’s parents that he would not be able to function at all. Kim’s parents were ultimately advised to put him in a mental institution. They refused and continued to care for Kim as best they could. Kim still could not function on his own, but he had made an impact in the form of his memory and recall. Kim’s parents had divorced and his father was the main caretaker for most of Kim’s life. Kim could not bathe, shave, or dress himself, but he was able to read a book in a short period of time and remember 98% of it. Kim was also said to have a job assisting an accounting firm by remembering payrolls and other strings of information, but was soon replaced
