*melts* I love his hair like that here. It makes me want to run my hands through it mess it all up.

haha, rawr indeed! he CAN look pretty mature - which is why i kinda hated how he was styled for BOF. he's look in that show didn't play to his strengths, i feel. o well, minor detail, i suppose. but he's lookin' good here :)

20 years old...oh, I am going straight to hell. But not even one pic with that trademark Kim Bum smile? Boo!

THANKS JB!! :-D

LOL at langdon813!

Kim Bum = winner of the best hair on male actor award?

looks like perm + wax or paste + hair spray and cold blow out.

HOTHOTHOT!

<3

Even if the actor is only 20 years old, he’s looking pretty grown-up these days.

Hmmmmmmm someone has a crush.

I thought it was T.I for Men?

he looks alot skinnier than in BOF... but, Rawr indeed!!! :P

I'm liking it.

but he looks so skinny!! Poor guy always seems to be fainting, or is injured, etc.
he oughta gain some weight.

omfj.........i screamed so loud i got a wth from my mom but damn he is soooo cute with his hair like that and the clothes looks superb on him :D

yes, yes....
rawr will indeed suffice. ;p

he reminds me so much of chuck bass in those pictures

YAYYYYY 20!!! finally someone I could drool over w/o feeling guilty

i know it's super cheesy but i've been watching america's next top model which really strikes the models on their poses, so now, whenever i see these kind of posts i'm always really eager to check out their poses with the ANTM benchmark haha!

looks like his bent knee is his signature :) cute though! and i'm not even a fan of KB

not digging the hair for some reason.

Rawr...LOL! Is it 20 years of age according to Korean standards where they add a year?

He is definitely looking good here (but he generally does doesn't he?). I kind of want to see him in a melodrama or some rom-com next. Or maybe a sageuk? That would be interesting.

kim bum dep trai qua troi love love

his pose in the second picture is so awkward!!

Jailbait, Jailbait, jailbait, jailbait!!! He's posed really awkwardly for most of these but he looks great in that first pic.... all thoughtful and broody and whatnot...

He is the ultimate dandy! *low whistle*

^-^

Sorry but this guy I fail to understand what people find so great about him lookwise. He sometimes maybe cute but he looks so... kiddy ?

Thank you very much

@ Lily I agree - He's so ... pre-teen. NO testosterone at all.

@ Z I agee - Even in BOF he was stiff and stilted, I figured he was mimicking the manga character - Guess not -

I didn't watch Dream, just can't get interested, being a fighter has not increased the manliness - not in these photos.

He's...very pretty lol
I don't think he could pass as older than 22 though. So I have to disagree with the looking older bit.

hmm..when i was looking at the pictures...i thought 'wouldn't he make a perfect edward' haha. :D

NOSEBLEED

Hahahaha! Before watching kdramas and japanese anime I thought nosebleed is something that happens when you receive a ball straight on your nose (or glasses), which of course has happened a lot of time to me! But it can really mean a lot of things!

Anyway... I love his hair. It's almost a perm, maybe Jun Pyo's perm has changed korean style? :D

KIM BUM!!!!!!!!!

love love love him <3

Not liking these photos of Kim Bum. He looks too skinny and his face is too angular. I want the Kim Bum as So Yi Jeong look back! :)

dont u just love this guy

OH MY GAWD KIM BUM IS AMAAAZING! <3

oh man, isnt he a hottie? he's looking good! he's not that much older than me so no pedo here!!

Kim Bum = Mine! Claimed him a long time ago! *wicked evil laugh*

Love Kim Bun since EOE! He was superb in it! Then he was a pretty boy in BOF and a tough figher in Dream. Love them all! Never can get tired of looking at him :)

does anyone think his legs have been stretched?!
coz it looks so unnatural for me..
other than that...KB is a hottie as usual!

is it just me or are kim bum's hands unusually big in proportion to the rest of his body?

@Elena,
"NO testosterone at all. " lol -- you captured my feeling exactly. Phew, -one- korean actor i can cross off the list. hmm, that leaves.... ^^

this discussion of nosebleed is hilarious indeed. JB. thanks for explaining korean vs. japanese connotations. And as most of you know, in the states, to sit in the nosebleed section is slang for sitting in the cheap seats at a stadium or theatre, waaaay up high where you might actually get a ... from the higher altitude. For me, no chance of nosebleed from gazing at Kim Bum in any sense.

yay! my day is complete now.

the discussion about nosebleeds intrigues me...

here in the philippines, you will get nosebleeds when you're speaking scientific or "foreign-like"...like when you are talking about some medical stuffs...one would automatically say "nosebleed" or when you start speaking korean among filipinos, "nosebleed" is the word to say....

anyway...kim bum...he can pull off the cute and mature role i guess...

This is another reason why I love this blog - cultural studies. I've learned what nosebleed means in four different cultures from one post! Thank you to

LOL! So true, Wowsa, about the "nosebleed" use! I've noticed all the other cultural differences and totally forgot how we use it in the Philippines. Whenever I would go off on one of my long-winded speeches, people would just look at me and go "nosebleed". (Meaning trying to decipher something so complicated was giving them a nosebleed.) Hahaha!

P.S. Awww...Kim Bum, with you, it's a Japanese-style nosebleed. LOL

@ JB

Late reply but you're absolutely right. Male anime/jdrama characters often get nosebleeds, which signify sexual/pervy thoughts. lol.

Sticking strictly to the Japanese interpretation, I would just like to say (in a very late response):

NOSEBLEED X12098109281028102801280192.

luv him :)
He visited the Philippines because he has a commercial with Majah Salvador (she is so lucky). Then Kim Bum helped the poor people who were affected by the flood.
luv him so much

But I don't like his hair in his posted photos.:( :(

LOVE U BUM
