Biography
Kim was born in South Korea in 1976.[1] Growing up, Kim was fond of drawing and drew comics to earn some money. He decided to draw comics professionally after winning a competition.[2] His first full-length work, Template:Ill, written by Sang Young Jeon, began serialization in Haksan Publishing's magazine Booking in 2000.[1][3] It was completed in 2004 with 12 volumes.[4]
Kim's next series, Banya: The Explosive Delivery Man, was also serialized in Booking.[5] Its individual chapters were collected into five volumes, which were published from August 11, 2004, to March 6, 2006.[6][7] His next work, Gui, written by Orebalgum, was serialized in Booking and published in five volumes from 2006 to 2008.[8][9]
Influences
Kim likes to draw action comics in a martial arts or heroic fantasy setting. When illustrating, he does not pay too much attention to small details and instead prefers to follow the action scenes.[2] Kim has cited both manga and American comics as sources of inspiration, particularly Vagabond, Hellboy, and Spawn.[2]
