A new poster is out for Kim Bum’s new movie Bisang (first poster here), which shows the young actor in a love triangle as he poses in turn with each of his co-stars; the top photo shows Kim Bum with Lee Chae-young, while the bottom features Kim Byul.

As the top host in the nightlife scene, Kim Bum’s character turns away Lee Chae-young coolly. In contrast, Kim Byul plays his pure first love, and in order to protect her, he risks his life and transforms into a “real man.” (Whatever that means?)

I can only speak for myself, but my first reaction is: there’s some weird photoshopping going on, right? All three are very good-looking young stars, but Kim Bum’s face looks weirdly stretched in the bottom image. (It’s not just me, right?)

In any case, the action-melodrama-romance film will be out in theaters December 3.

Thus far, press for Kim Bum’s new movie Bisang [비상] — in which he plays a nightclub host — hasn’t really focused on his co-star Bae Soo-bin (Angel’s Temptation), but the actor gets prominent placement in the newly released poster for the film. Both actors play smooth characters, but they harbor opposing views on love: Bae plays a man who doesn’t believe in it, while Kim Bum’s character is the type to risk everything for it.

The action-melodrama also features actresses Kim Byul (as Kim Bum’s love interest) and Lee Chae-young (Iron Empress). It releases on December 3.

(I’m not sure whether I think Kim Bum’s cornrows make him look badass or adorably benign in that trying-too-hard sort of way. Actually, I think I do know.)

In any case, the young actor has a new film coming out, Bisang [비상, or Flight], which he filmed before his recent drama Dream. Earlier this summer, the film had released a set of stills featuring Kim performing stunt work and sharing a kiss with co-star Kim Byul (Baby and I). In these latest images, we see a bit more of the nightclub host he plays.

Not much to say about Kim Bum’s new clothing ads, but then again, who needs words? Other than “rawr,” perhaps. Even if the actor is only 20 years old, he’s looking pretty grown-up these days.

These photos are for the Fall/Winter line of apparel brand T.I For Man. Kim Bum is currently wrapping up his drama role in SBS’s Dream (which wraps next week), and is also featured in October’s issue of Arena magazine.

This is probably callous of me, but another actor faints on set and all I’ve got to say is: Ho-hum.

It was belatedly revealed over the weekend that Kim Bum fainted on the set of his SBS drama Dream, and was released from the hospital visit after a brief stay and an IV drip. This occurred last week — he shot a fighting scene over the 11th and 12th, then lost consciousness just before filming was scheduled to begin on the 13th. Honestly, I can’t recall if this is the first or second time he’s collapsed on Dream, because news like this is so common these days, and Kim Bum has already taken several trips to the hospital this year as he filmed his last drama, Boys Before Flowers.
