[Profile] Kim Bum

 KIM BUM 

Kim Bum (Hangul: 김범; born Kim Sang-beom, July 7, 1989) is a South Korean actor and model. He is best known for his role as So Yi-jung, in Boys Over Flowers.

Kim joined the "Survival Star Audition", and was placed 8th out of hundreds of contestants, but, because he was only 17, he could not proceed in the competition, since the program was aimed at actors in their 20's. "Survival Star Audition" opened many opportunities for Kim, though. He received multiple television series roles and his popularity soared. In 2008, Kim won the Netizen Popularity Award at the Korean Drama Festival.

Kim most famously showed his acting skills as the young Lee Dong Chul in "East of Eden" and So Yi Jung (Sojiroh Nishikado), one of the F4 members, in "Boys Over Flowers", the Korean remake of the Japanese manga "Hana Yori Dango". Kim continues to ascend as a South Korean star, while remaining firmly planted in his roots.
