南韓 口畫家
Kim研究建築，並在繪圖辦公室工作了一年。因為三年前開始顯現的肌肉疾病（進行性肌營養不良症）變得越來越嚴重，他不能繼續工作。
從小就喜歡繪畫，一開始用手執筆，直到五年後被迫放棄這個活動，因為他的肌肉變得無法支撐。有一天，他看到一個在電視節目中用嘴巴作畫的畫家，幾天後，他自己試了一下，從此發現他最大的快樂。
Young-Soo Kim studied architecture and worked in a drawing office for a year. He was unable to continue his work because a disease of the muscles (progressive muscular dystrophy), which had begun to manifest itself three years earlier, was becoming ever more severe.
Having enjoyed painting since his childhood he now began to paint with his hands until he was forced to abandon this activity five years later because his muscles had become too weak. One day he saw a woman engaged in mouth painting in a television programme and a few days later he tried this out for himself, finding that it gave him the greatest pleasure.
This discovery proved to be a remarkable experience, motivating him to engage in intensive training. Young-Soo Kim was given a scholarship by the Association in 1993, becoming an Associate Member of the AMFPA only three years later.
Since that time the mouth painting artist has participated in numerous group exhibitions and he has also been frequently able to fulfil his dream of holding one-man shows of his work.
The flower motifs, fishing boats and landscapes by Young-Soo Kim are painted in an individual naturalistic style, with his shoreline scenes, painted in very dark, almost black tones with very little colour being exceptionally impressive. Young-Soo Kim principally uses watercolours in his work.
