The Renaissance Man of Mechanics by Mark Anthony Cruz

Gisangnim
Allow me to introduce you to Kisanim (기사님), which isn’t a name at all. It actually means “driver” in Korean. This character is based off of the driver of "The Magic English Bus," my first teaching gig in Korea. But seriously, the entire Magic English Bus staff actually called him “kisanim.” He was an older gentleman whose real name I never knew. He was very sweet and was a real problem solver when it came to mechanics. So in the world of Yehey, Kisanim is a stoic genius that can drive and repair anything from buses and tanks, to planes and ships. He very rarely speaks, but when he does it’s always in Korean, and worth listening to.
