Kim Bum, you’ve got some work(ing out) to do
by javabeans
Julien Kang
…and that’s because here we have a couple of new photos showing off the hard bod of Julien Kang, an actor who plays a fellow mixed martial arts fighter character in the upcoming SBS drama Dream.
Not only does Julien have the muscular physique to play such an athlete, he’s the real-life younger brother to fighter Dennis Kang — not that this makes him an automatically better fighter, but it does suggest he’s got a certain familiarity with the sport.
Meanwhile, Dream headliner Kim Bum is certainly looking adorable these days, but he’s got a ways to catch up if he wants to bulk up to hold his own as a juvenile delinquent-turned-fighter. (As we can see from his latest appearances and recent movie stills, despite the fact that Kim Bum is purportedly working out for his drama role, he still looks as much a skinny pretty boy as ever.)
Dream premieres in August.
Here’s another one of Julien Kang:
While here we have another co-star, Marco:
Meanwhile, here’s Kim Bum just a few days ago on June 11:
(Poor kid. Please don’t eat him alive!)

You never know. He probably has (a little) something hiding inside his suit, ala Incredible Hulk. He can be working out... :)

I'd LIKE to find Kim Bum hot but he just looks so YOUNG. And delicate. Like you could break him.
I think I'm getting old.

@4 bspanda - i thought exactly the same thing about the marky mark ads.... totally has the same feel.
@28 mishane - i think he's too adorable to be 'hot', but maybe if i were younger than him i'd find him hot? he is super cute tho... really liked him in bbf. and c'mon, how can you resist his smile and dimples?? :)
LOL @ JB's last comment~!!
i'll definately be watching this for kim bum tho... interested in seein him play a different character than yi jung.

@28, mishane
I know exactly what you mean! It's hard to find Kim Bum "hot" when he's young enough to be my child; beautiful, yes, hot...not so much. He's just ridiculously adorable.
I don't seem to have that problem with Rain, however...not in the slightest. Anytime he wants to visit Cougarville USA, he'll be welcomed most enthusiastically. ;-)
But I digress...

Yeah, he looks so delicate. I can't imagine him going from a shih tzu to a pit bull.
He should train in Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, or Krav Maga. It will also come in handy against those pesky AnyCall thugs.

Kim Bum should pack some meat for preparation for his character. No matter how good of an actor he is, if he's looking all slender and cute, it'll be hard for him to convince viewers that he's really into martial arts.
But I guess buffing up will come along since he'll study martial arts through out the series. He's still cute and adorable though =) But a little tired looking too.

Well i'm not that into man's six pack body..Sometimes, i hate it when some actors often show their six pack body although it doesn't necessary in their drama or movie..Anyway, i still like Kim Bum and his acting..
Six pack body is so out of my league..
BUMAA~~NO NEED TO WORKING OUT (YOUR BODY), YOU ARE STILL ADORABLE..PROOF THAT SIX PACK BODY IS NOT THE KEY TO BE A GREAT ACTOR..

That Kang guy has nothing on Kim Bum.
His body may be hard, but it doesn't look that good. It seems sorta unchiseled. Not that it's bad, but Kim Bum is a lot cuter.

Oh! come on guys, let's not compare our Kim Bum to those fully grown men. He's only 20 while Marco & Julien are on their 30's. Were they as cute as Kim Bum 10 yrs. ago?. That's why Kim Bum was picked for the lead role of a juvenile because he can give justice to the character. And, btw, Mr. Webster defines juvenile as "physically immature or undeveloped". And that's where JJM comes in. See, Kim Bum is the perfect choice!. Way to go, Kim Bum!

-whistle- nice V line (and six-pack too maybe but I don't see it in the pic) on Julien & the four-pack for Marco ;D I'd tap that jk.
But I would take Kim Bum any day (:

Hey, but did Kim Bum looked so different in EOE and he did fight too? He was great in that so I believe he's fine with some make up and more work out.

Don't compare with them. Not everybody like such muscular body. Kim Bum is lovely and cute and he is younger than them.

I'm starting to have a crush on Kim Bum; but yes Marco's body is banging. I've only seen Marco on "We Got Married," during this time, and continually, I was cyber stalking anything on Kim Hyun Joong. Ahhhh, these Korean men need to stop...I'm going into a frenzy!!!
