Kim Bum shows off his grown-up appeal
by javabeans
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.

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
