The story of Kim Ung-Yong is one of an extraordinary mind. He had mental capabilities beyond our wildest dreams, and he achieved intellectual feats nothing short of awe-inspiring.  Born on March 8, 1962, in the capital of South Korea, Seoul, Kim wasted no time fueling his intellect. At just a year old, Kim already mastered both the Korean alphabet and over 1,000 Chinese characters.Son of a physics professor father and a mother who taught at Seoul National University, Kim-Ung Yong seemed to be destined for academic greatness from the start.

  The photograph titled "The Hooded Man" captured in 2003 depicts a distressing and unsettling scene that may resemble an eerie image often found on creepypasta or strange websites.

  San Francisco, California hosted the infamous "Summer of Love" in 1967. It made the San Francisco Bay area a popular travel destination for individuals looking for adventure and curiosity, as well as others who wanted to experience the "Hippie" movement firsthand. It sounded like the year's biggest media event in the press.  Newsweek published a four-page, four-color spread titled "Dropouts on a Mission" on February 6, 1967. Time published "Love on Haight" on March 17, alluding to the now-famous Haight-Ashbury District. Then, on June 6, Newsweek's article "The Hippies are Coming!" appeared in newspapers.  Before long, the city's Hippie gathering was more than just a media spectacle—some even compared it to a pilgrimage. Eventually, the count topped 100,000, including children, drug dealers, tourists, journalists, the destitute, and people who were just curious and wanted to record the events.  However, for those inquisitiv...
