Netizens not satisfied with Kim Bum

Netizens want to see more of Kim Bum, not just his lean arms.

Kim Bum, who was cast in the hit TV show, “ Unstoppable High Kick(Season 1)” did not satisfy his fans when he appeared recently on “High Kick Through the Roof ” (Season 2).

Even before the start of season 2, the producers promised that Kim Bum would make a special appearance, i.e. showing off his toned physique. Of course, when passionate, “ Boys Over Flowers” fans got wind of this, they were anticipating Kim Bum would come back on the show with a banging body.

They were disappointed. All Kim Bum showed was some arm. There were no chocolate abs in sight as the crazy fans were hoping for. As a result, angry Netizens are spreading hate since they felt tricked by the producers of High Kick.

We were also expecting some hard bodied scenes….weren’t you?

Kim Bum’s New Movie “Flight” Will Be Delayed

We had reported earlier that Kim Bum's new movie, Flight had been slapped with a 19+ rating on the 27th because of extreme violence. It was reported later in the day that the airing of the movie, scheduled for 4th December, will now be delayed.

The target audience for the movie had been targeted at those aged 15 and above. But with the 19+ rating, it will shut the door to potential moviegoers, harming the box-office receipts.

To solve this issue, the movie production company, DDOL film will delay the premiere to 10th December instead, while it files a re-appeal against this decision during this period.

On the night of 27th November, there was a special media preview where lead actor, Kim Bum expressed, "I was kind of stunned when I heard about the rating restriction. Although there are some violent scenes in the movie, they are important and essential to show my character's feelings towards his first love. Ultimately, it's a movie that tells people to not lose hope in the face of adversity. I hope that more people are able to watch this movie."

Kim Bum’s “Flight” is rated RKim Bum’s “Flight” is rated R

Kim Bum's new movie, Flight, has been rated as a movie for audience aged 19 and older recently for extreme violence. In America, it would be considered a rated R film.

The movie's production company said, "The censorship board has decided that children and teenagers cannot see this movie. Because of this, all the fan girls of Kim Bum cannot see the movie and they are very angry at us.

We had expected it to be a 15+ audience movie.

We're very sorry because they've been waiting for this movie."

Since Kim Bum is such a heartthrob to teenagers, it's hard to believe he's in such an inappropriate movie. The movie hits theaters on December 3rd.

Kim Bum in London

The Boys Over Flowers star Kim Bum seems to be a very busy man these days. Shortly after leaving the Philippines to film an RC Cola Commercial with Maja Salvador, he flew to London, England.

A representative from Kim Bum's agency, King Kong Entertainment, stated that Kim Bum left for London, England on the 23rd and he's staying in London for 6 days to attend and participate in the 'Go Green Village' environmental protection activities. Because England is considered one of the leading countries in the area of protecting the environment, Kim Bum is studying and witnessing examples of what they're doing and also learn more about the policies. He will then go back and try to advocate these studies, examples, and policies in Korea.

Kim Bum : 180 degree Transformation

Kim Bum has gone through a 180 degree transformation.

And is because the star will be in a movie called Emergency . With half of his head in cornrows, rocking shiny blue jackets, and smokey eye-liner, Kim Bum is now officially bad ass. His role in the movie, a host, pleasing ladies every night.

Emergency, directed by Park Jung Hoon, is to be a love story (I thought it was going be a gangster movie…) and is expected to be released this December.

Althought Dream drama was not successful this actor is more popular every day and have a lot of fans around the world!

Kim Bum and Maja Salvador Releases RC Cola CF

As reported earlier, Kim Bum had been to the Philippines earlier this month to film a RC Cola CF with Kapamilya actress Maja Salvador.

After weeks of waiting, the long-awaited CF was finally released just before ASAP 09 on 18th October. The minute long CF starts off with Maja drinking RC Cola and then she goes to meet Kim Bum who is her dinner date and they drink RC Cola again. They attempt to end with a teasing of a kiss but that was interrupted by spoilers before it ends rather abruptly. If this is all that Kim Bum has done, I am sure that many of you will feel kind of disappointed.

Kim Bum is a Big Hit in the Philippines

Many of you knew about Kim Bum visiting the Philippines to film a RC Cola CF with Maja Salvador and that he said his co-star was very pretty, but I never knew that Kim Bum was such a big star there.

Filipino fans helped Kim Bum becoming a trending topic on the popular social media site Twitter. Mainly because of his fan meeting, RC Cola Press Conference, and special guest appearance on the Philippine program "Entertainment Live." The hit drama Boys Over Flowers is also said to be a huge hit in the Philippines. With the Philippines still feeling the tragic effects from Typhoon Ketsana a few days ago, Kim Bum's visit hopefully gave some joy to his fans in the country. Kim Bum is probably very thankful that he has such great fans.
