Kim Bum for Kia’s Koup
by | June 10, 2009 | 38 Comments

Kim Bum adds to his growing list of his endorsement deals with this gig pushing a new car for auto company Kia. (Too bad most of his fans can’t drive yet?)

The young Boys Before Flowers actor is promo rep for the Forte Koup, which debuted its 2010 line at the New York International Auto Show this spring. Kim Bum is pictured here at an event unveiling the car on June 11 at the outdoor plaza of Seoul’s Coex center.

This is kind of an unexciting event for an uninteresting (to me, at least) campaign, but hey, it’s Kim Bum, still adorable as ever:

    he is only 19!

  2. Gita

    He looks bored and doesn’t even want to be there, even his smiles were just polite grins. But he sure is sugary sweet, if only he’s ten years older…(in that case if only I am ten years younger) hahaha….. I’ve been to some of these kinda gigs, they were boring as hell, no wonder Kim Bum looks so indifferent.

  3. Andromytta

    Gee, and all this time I’ve been drooling over the new Kia Soul! Apparently, I was interested in the WRONG car! *lol* :D

  4. crzycpl

    why is he wearing a ring on his wedding finger?

    anywho … he is a cutie. nothing wrong with boring endorsements.

  5. cosmopolite

    @ crzycpl

    well he and i were planning on keeping it a secret but…….. ;)

  6. Sue

    i’m only just starting to watch unstoppable high kick now, and kimbum looks exactly the same, but of course younger, and with cute crooked teeth :D

    if you’re a late comer to the show like me they have it at aja-aja!

  7. yvhsien

    He does look quite bored and indifferent. That’s his age and inexperience showing. Since he’s endorsing the car, he should at least look more enthusiastic or interested in the car.

  8. diana

    yeah. he definitely looks hella bored there. if it were me, i would be bored to hell too. i mean kia is not exactly a porsche right. no offense though…..

  9. diana

    anyway, he doesnt look like the right spokesman for the car to me. he’s just too young and somehow the way he’s standing beside the car makes me think he looks uncomfortable or sort

    As always, he got the most beautiful face ever. Weather he’s bored or not the angle is still good.

  11. 11 Gembul

    Indeed he looks bored and just trying to be polite.
    But, if remembering all different picture of him, I think he needs to get a new shoes!

  12. 12 strawberryfields

    if only bored guys can look that cute…

  13. 13 bjharm

    I do not know his history but and no offence to any one..just what has he done to really deserve all this? Look good? Be a great actor? or just plain luky or 2 out of the three..I think we can skip the great actor
    Looking bored..well he is likely going one one thousand two one thousand..that another 10,000 in my bank account..smile…lol

    I hope Kim So Eun has the other pair on her finger. I still want those two to get together… :D

    @ 5 cosmopolite

    dammet, you beat me to it. HAHAHAHAHAA!!!! baby, it’s still a secret, so shhhh. :P

  16. 16 Roselily

    @bjharm
    I think we should ask that question to ourself..Why do we like them?? It is we being fan of them and leading them to get endorsements like that…..

  17. 17 Ladymoonstone

    @14…I hope they will have a movie or drama together too. Their chemistry is just so perfect. Soeulmates forever…:)

  18. 18 chajjye

    what’s with the vest cum singlet look nowadays?

    though he looks indifferent, at least he is pretending to be cooperative. smile here. smile there. listen to the whatever going on. if it was me, i’d yawn. hehe.

    at least he hasn’t collapse like his sunbae hyun joong had, despite the busy schedule.

    but entertainment companies should take care of their stars a little more, and not let them burn out. even stars in the skies have their limit.

    @ 17 Ladymoonstone

    Yes, indeed! But they’re young and they have a long career ahead of them, so I’m still hopeful. And if they do, they should definitely kiss! That was my biggest frustration in life during the BOF craze… well, next to our economic plunge.

    I love his outfit!! so hot =)

  21. 21 deeta

    Is that lighting or did he lose a few pounds? He looks a bit thinner.

  22. 22 KOK

    “Is that lighting or did he lose a few pounds? He looks a bit thinner.”

    He’s been probably so busy with so much filming and CF’s.

    Um can he even drive?

  23. 23 queen bee

    Ooooohhh…seeing Kim Bum again made me miss BOF and Soeulmates… :(

  24. 24 BellaMafia

    Hail to ‘Cougar’ rising within me…!!

  25. 25 Biscuit

    He has such a small face but his hair on top of him is so big!

  26. 26 Rin

    @#22:
    I’m sure he can drive.. I mean he’s 19, people can start driving when they’re like 16 so yeah. & he drove in BBF too ^^

    I’d buy the car if Kim Bum is part of the package xD

  27. 27 Ilbum noona

    Kim Bum looks so tired in first and second picture..Just look at that face..But he tries to smile when he stands promoting the new car..This little cute young guy is trying his best to fulfill vendors desires-they need him to promote their products; although he knows he’s very tired..People will say Kim Bum is so arrrogant if he rejects the offers..Poor Kim Bum..

    But anyway, the car did caught my eyes..
    Sporty car, the one that i like..
    Wish i could drive that thing with Kim Bum sit next to me..It would be great…

    I remember Coex! I went there with relatives two years ago when I was in Korea. Was this event open to the public? I’m going to Korea next summer and am hoping to be part of some celebrity sightings. :) I’m mainly interested in the BoF cast and of course, HYUN BIN. :D

    @ 19. Snikki.
    I have to agree with that! Their final scene/s in BBF just kept us hanging and wanting for more! I just hope writers/producers/whoever can hear us out and grant our request. I want to see both of them again on screen. Such a cute couple. Plus, chemistry is there! :)
