He attended Dong-Eui University in Busan for three years and did his two years in the South Korean army as a part of the Special Forces Unit.

His ability to render extremely complicated scenes near-perfectly from memory, without the aid of references, has stretched the boundaries of what many artists believed was possible.

He wrote a number of short stories and held exhibitions for his work that led to his teaching manhwa (Korean comic book) to various private schools and universities.

Kim collaborated with Seung-Jin Park, the writer of Tiger the Long Tail, to draw six volumes for his comic.

In most cases, artists showcase a framed drawing or painting, but KJG decided to do something different.

He placed paper up on three walls around his table and began drawing.

In recent years, he has accepted invitations to perform in France, America, all around Asia and now in Japan for his first show simply titled Drawing Exhibition.

He also collaborated with the legendary Japanese artist Katsuya Terada in 2017.

The pair put together an amazing sketchbook of various drawings, showing off their talents.

Kim put together a feature exhibition in Cheongwadae the Republic of Koreas presidents official workplace and residence.
