Kim Bum shows off his grown-up appeal
by | October 10, 2008 | 49 Comments

The October issue of fashion mag An An features a spread with rising star Kim Bum, displaying how nicely he’s continuing to grow into adulthood.

The 19-year-old actor sure is a hot commodity right now — after surprising everyone with his grown-up intensity in East of Eden, he again got people excited with his casting in the Korean Hana Yori Dango, which kicks off in December.

Not only is he attracting more notice domestically, but he’s even making forays into overseas recognition: Kim Bum has a fanmeeting scheduled in Japan, to take place on October 18.

    He’s just simply adorable haha. He’s a great actor too! I hope he does well in the Korean Hana Yori Dango! Good luck to him! :D

    I remember watching Unstopable high kick and thinking Kim Bum and Kim Hyesung were both such cute little boys. Now both of these “boys” are both so mature now. Except kim hye sung still looks very feminine.

    Kim Bum has manlier looks than baby-faced Kim Hye Sung… I can sorta picture him as a veteran movie actor in the future…

    i think he’s the best looking asian boy ever
    first saw him in this drama when he was like 15 and i was like jesus how did his parents make him???!!
    his only flaw is probably his teeth but he’s still VERY VERY goodlooking

  23. 23 ly22

    he looks a bit like won bin at the 1st pic, so mature now

  24. 24 din

    first time i saw these pics on asian fanatics,
    i double checked if this guy with hot manly features was kim bum.
    & was surprised (in a good way). :p
    then i started blushing and giggling by myself like a mad person. XD

    gosh. he. looks. so. fiiiiine!

  25. 25 Anonymous

    He is so hot! I love Kim Bum,I wish I could meet him.

    I am currently watching the J-version of HYD and considering how much I am in love with the Soujiro character there, I think they made a perfect choice going with Kim Bum for that role. For such a youngin’, Kim Bum has this incredibly elegant look about him (see above), and it matches up well with the tea-addicted Soujiro character.
