At the recent 2024 World Memory Championships, Kim Young-hoon (35 years old) achieved an IQ score of 276. The World Council on Intellectual Sports – the organizer of the competition – declared Mr. Kim the person with the highest IQ in the world and sent him his congratulations.

The World Memory Championship is an international event held annually since 1991. The event brings together individuals with impressively high IQs from many countries. These individuals compete in various rounds to determine the ultimate winner. During the competition, the IQ of each participant is assessed in detail.

The World Council on Intellectual Sports is an international organization specializing in events that assess human IQ. The council was founded by British educational consultant Tony Buzan (1942-2019). Buzan popularized many important concepts in education, including the concept of mind mapping.

Before Kim Young-hoon, an Australian university professor of Chinese descent named Terence Tao held this title with an IQ of 230.

Regarding the newly released information, Kim Young-hoon stated, "I want to actively use my abilities to serve research and help improve the brain capacity of people around the world."

Kim is the founder of the Sigma Intelligence Association, a non-profit organization that brings together over 100 exceptionally high-IQ individuals from many countries. The association includes professors from prestigious universities around the world.

Kim graduated from Yonsei University in South Korea and is the only Korean member of international organizations such as the Mega Community and the Giga Community. Members of these organizations are exceptionally high-IQ individuals from all over the world.

In reality, it is very difficult to determine a person's IQ with absolute precision for comparison between individuals. Numerous factors influence how individuals demonstrate their intelligence, such as differences in experiences or living environments. For this reason, IQ tests are always subject to debate and controversy.
