Celebrating 20 Years in the Entertainment Industry

Kim Bum’s upcoming fan meeting is more than just a chance to meet his fans. It also marks an important milestone in his career.

The actor began his journey in the entertainment industry after participating in the Survival Star Audition competition. He reportedly finished sixth among hundreds of contestants. However, because he was under 20 at the time, he was unable to continue in the competition.

Despite that setback, the audition opened doors for Kim Bum and led to opportunities in television. He made his acting debut in the sitcom High Kick! in 2006.

His breakthrough came several years later when he landed the role of So Yi-jung in Boys Over Flowers (2009). The drama became a major hit across Asia and helped establish Kim Bum as one of the recognizable young stars of the Korean entertainment industry.

From Boys Over Flowers to International Projects

Following the success of Boys Over Flowers, Kim Bum continued to explore a wide range of roles.

In 2011, he appeared in the fantasy melodrama Padam Padam, written by acclaimed screenwriter Noh Hee-kyung. He later reunited with Noh Hee-kyung for the romantic melodrama That Winter, the Wind Blows in 2013.

Kim Bum also expanded his career beyond South Korea. In 2013, he made his mark in the Chinese film industry with Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Tsui Hark. The same year, he appeared in the thriller Miracle Hands and the historical drama Goddess of Fire, starring alongside Moon Geun-young.

His international career continued with Chinese productions such as V Love (2014), Lovers & Movies, and The Beloved.

Back in Korea, Kim Bum took on darker and more challenging roles, including his performances in the crime thriller Hidden Identity (2015) and Mrs. Cop 2 (2016). His portrayal of an antagonist in Mrs. Cop 2 received attention from viewers and critics.

Kim Bum Beyond Acting

Acting is not the only area Kim Bum has explored throughout his career. He has also pursued music, releasing his first studio album, Hometown, in June 2012.

He subsequently held his first solo concert in Tokyo, Japan, giving fans another opportunity to see a different side of the actor.

After a four-year absence from the big screen, Kim Bum returned to film with Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead in 2018.

He later returned to television with several popular projects, including the fantasy drama Tale of the Nine Tailed (2020), the legal drama Law School (2021), and the medical fantasy series Ghost Doctor (2022), in which he starred alongside Rain.

In 2023, Kim Bum reprised his role as Lee Rang in Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938, further expanding one of his most memorable characters.
