Kim, Yong-bi

Summary

Yong-bi Kim serves as the OPBF bantamweight champion and is a former Lieutenant in the Korean Army who only turned professional at the age of 33. He has maintained an extremely strict diet for over two decades, consuming only three biscuits, a soft-boiled egg, and fresh fruit each morning. He might occasionally have a cup of lemon tea in the afternoon, but otherwise abstains from all other food until the next morning’s meal. He claims his stomach is roughly the size of that of a five or six-year-old. Kim suffers from severe trauma regarding the Korean War, which he experienced at the age of five. He committed his first murder while attempting to steal food from a wounded soldier, unaware that the victim was his own father. The soldiers who discovered the truth pitied the child and allowed him to join the army. Following this incident, he lost the instinct to eat and refuses to stop eating until he is completely full. Additionally, he has a phobia of blood; after every boxing match, he washes his hands for more than an hour to cleanse the blood that only he can see. His boxing style is cold and highly prudent, standing in stark contrast to Joe.
