Fans may be expecting young leads Nam Gyuri and Kim Bum to be locking lips when their upcoming horror movie Go-sa: Bloody Midterms releases on August 6, but they’re not gonna see it.

The supposedly “hot” (yeah, right) kiss scene was cut from the final edit and not shown at the recent VIP premiere/press event, despite the fact that it had been heavily hyped and promoted. The production company explained that the kiss “unfortunately was not essential to the content and flow of the plot, so it was deleted.”

In the uncut version of the movie, Nam Gyuri’s character had received an invitation from Kim Bum’s character to a club event, after which he surprised her with a kiss. However, due to the cutting of another related scene, the kiss no longer was relevant. It’s too bad that the production company and marketing team had prematurely created previews and ads including the scene, stirring strong fan response.

(Still, something tells me it’s not much of a loss anyway.)

Oy. Remember how young Kim Bum looked in his best Harry Potter gear just this past March? Or how about a mere six months ago, when he came out sporting a more mature look but still retained traces of his adolescent features?

It looks like he’s grown up all of a sudden — no more baby face — here on the set for his upcoming horror movie Go-sa [고死], also starring Lee Beom Soo, Nam Gyuri, and Yoon Jung Hee. Film releases in July.

Film set (open to the media), Busan, June 13.
