KIMPRO

KIMPRO is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand KIMPRO rather than just read about it. In short: KIMPRO (Korean: 김프로) is a South Korean YouTube channel run by cousins Kim Dong Joon and Yu Baek Hap. History KIMPRO started its channel on 11 November 2017; the channel's first video was uploaded in August 2022.

Key takeaways

KIMPRO belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect KIMPRO to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of KIMPRO from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

KIMPRO (Korean: 김프로) is a South Korean YouTube channel run by cousins Kim Dong Joon and Yu Baek Hap.

History KIMPRO started its channel on 11 November 2017; the channel's first video was uploaded in August 2022. In 2023, Yoo Ha-young and Jung Hee-rim joined KIMPRO, founding the group "OK TEAM." In January 2025, it became the number one monthly-viewed YouTube channel worldwide. On 18 April 2025, KIMPRO became the first South Korean YouTube channel to reach 100 million subscribers, surpassing Blackpink to become the most-subscribed channel in South Korea. KIMPRO reached 10 billion monthly views on 29 July 2025.

Style KIMPRO's style has been regarded as comedy skits, mukbangs, memes, challenges, and situational plays.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with KIMPRO

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what KIMPRO claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to KIMPRO before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about KIMPRO ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of KIMPRO

In research: KIMPRO appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses KIMPRO in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: KIMPRO is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Comedy-related YouTube channels, Comedy YouTubers, Internet stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for KIMPRO outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is KIMPRO in simple terms?

KIMPRO (Korean: 김프로) is a South Korean YouTube channel run by cousins Kim Dong Joon and Yu Baek Hap. History KIMPRO started its channel on 11 November 2017; the channel's first video was uploaded in August 2022.

Why does KIMPRO matter?

Because it connects several science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study KIMPRO?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
