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

Biography

Kim Sang Bum was born in Seoul, South Korea on July 7, 1989. His immediate family consists of his mother, father, and one younger sister. While growing up in high school, he excelled in football (soccer), became class president, and maintained high grades. He currently attends Chung-Ang University to continue studying in the Film and Theater Department.

Kim joined the "Survival Star Audition", and was placed 6th 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.

He rose to prominence in 2009 after playing the role of So Yi Jung in the popular hit drama series, Boys Over Flowers. In 2011, he was cast in Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats as the guardian angel, Lee Gook Soo. Kim endured a rigorous workout routine and strict diet to lose over 20 pounds for his role.

In 2013, he starred as the second lead in the melodrama That Winter, The Wind Blows alongside Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo. Kim received much praise for his improved acting skills and portrayal of his character, Park Jin Sung. Because of his good looks, charisma, acting skills, and singing talent, Kim Bum represents a good example of a Hallyu star.

Kim released his first studio album, Hometown, on June 20, 2012. He performed his first solo concert, Kim Beom Japan Live 2012, at the Stellar Ball in Tokyo's Shinagawa Prince Hotel. He sang a total of 11 songs and received praise for his vocal ability.

He is currently filming the new historical drama Goddess of Fire, Jung Yi and takes on the second lead as Kim Tae Do.
