Johnny Kim is an NPC classic physique competitor who just finished an unbelievable season.

From entering true novice at a local show to winning the overall at that show in Open Classic

to getting two top four finishes at Junior Nats and NPC universe, two national shows in

stacked 30 man class B. Johnny lives and trains in New Jersey. Welcome to the show, Johnny.

Thank you very much. I appreciate you having on Scott. Yeah, absolutely. So my first question for you,

two questions. One is, why did you have to ruin people's lives and true novice and two this wasn't

your first year competing right so how did you do true novice so technically it wasn't my first time

but i did some of shredding so that wasn't an mpc oh okay and uh yeah going back to true novice

like john was gonna john my coach he's my coach Ballard. He was like, he didn't want me doing true novice, right? He just wanted me to do open. And I was like, you know, it's my first time. So like, why not? Did I lose here? No, you're good. Okay. My computer just turned out for a second. Here we? Yep. Okay. Sorry about that. Yeah, so I was like, why not? It's my first time. And yeah, I mean, I guess he was, he put up like a post and so many people apparently like told him like, yeah, you're going to be bullying kids or whatever. You know, first time on an NPC stage. So I was like, why not? And yeah, makes sense. Yeah, that's cool. I kind of felt the same way last year. I did turn out this and open and classic. But yeah, if it's your first show, that's totally reasonable. And so how did you, how did you get into bodybuilding? Like, were you an athlete growing up?
