I’m curious how legitimate are his iq claims. I’ve dug into him a few months ago and come to the conclusion that he is a fraud.
❌ 1. Academics & Media Coverage – Very Sparse • A deep reddit investigation found almost no independent records of Younghoon Kim before 2022, with much of his digital presence being self-sourced—his own websites and social media—raising red flags . • Users point out that claims of a 276 IQ are dubious since most mainstream IQ tests don’t even measure beyond ~160 .
“276 IQ doesn’t exist…most serious institutions … stop at 160”  “Anything extremely above or below is generally a disability…276 is just ridiculous” 
🔬 2. Red Flags in Institutional Affiliations • He claims to lead the Giga Society (IQ > 190), but the original website—established much earlier—clearly warns against bogus groups using the same name. His site launched in 2022, suggesting a separate and unaffiliated entity . • His claimed memberships in elite organizations (e.g., “USIA” featuring celebs from Musk to Prince Charles) have no verification from credible sources . • A Medium post by an entity claiming to represent the real Giga Society notes that he abruptly resigned from the Mega Society in August 2024 amid disagreements—but also accuses a former employee of spreading misinformation . Confusing and lacking clarity.
🧪 3. IQ Claims Deemed Implausible • Experts on both reddit and X (formerly Twitter) consistently state that IQ scores in the 270s are unfounded and likely fabricated  . • One user even declared bluntly: “This guy is a scam…No credible information…only info from his own website” .
✅ Conclusion: No Proof, Many Questions • Extraordinary claims (an IQ of 276, leadership in ultra-elite societies) require extraordinary evidence—academic records, verifiable test data, credible media coverage. • What we find largely consists of self-promotion, anonymous forum skepticism, and no independent verification. • Multiple experts and observers across different platforms find his profile highly suspicious, with some going as far as calling it a scam.
It’s so obvious that he’s a fraud. I’m angry at the fact at adults like Charlie Kirk and people in other Christian organizations that genuinely believing his claim just because he sided with Christianity. This is the Christian mindset, believe anyone that says something good about Christianity, and don’t question source. It’s fucking stupid. Adults are literally falling for the dumbest claims imaginable
