Kim Bum’s First Album Home Town

Kim Bum’s First Album is scheduled to release in Japan on June 20th, 2012. The songs of the album will be a mix of rock and ballads, sung from the heart and soul to create a peaceful, nostalgic feeling.

The sound track includes 7 tracks:

1.　Day Break
2.　My Old Friend
3.　Home Town
4.　雪月花 (The End of Silence/Serene Beauty)
5.　君のための歌  (Song for You)
6.　夢の後先 (Beyond Dreams/Consequences of a Dream )
7.　太陽と月 (The Sun & The Moon)

Day Break, Home Town, Serene Beauty & Consequences of a Dream will have Japanese Lyrics as listed on the track. Don’t know if the others are to be in Korean or Japanese, since it doesn’t mention that. Along with the Music CD, a DVD will also be available for purchase which will have behind the scenes of the music recording and “Home Town” Music Video.

The Launch Event for “Home Town” is scheduled for June 24th, 2012, 3 p.m.  at the Odaiba Venus Fort, in Tokyo.

Kim Bum could be the next “Asian Prince”

Kim Bum’s agency, King Kong Entertainment stated that next month Kim Bum will be releasing a special album in Japan. With the favorable response Kim Bum has received in Thailand, and Japan as of recently, it’s possible that Kim Bum could be the next “Asian Prince” (the nickname given to Jan Geun Suk by his fans since he’s really popular in other Asian countries as well)

The album though is not a foray into a singing career but as a thanks to his Japanese fans for all the love and support they have given him. While Kim Bum has released a few singles here and there, this will be his first full album, with seven to eight tracks and is slated for release in June. He will also be traveling to Japan to promote his album once it’s released, most probably after he’s done filming for “Miracle”.

New Pictures from the Kim Bum Japan Website

By new I don’t mean brand new (his hair is shorter now)…I’ve just never got around to posting them on here. I know I’m going back and forth with the pictures but just so the timeline is clear, Kim Bum’s Visit to Thailand was in the beginning of February, around 10th Feb (I do have one more set of pics), and his visit to Japan came later, Feb 25th (as I mentioned already), after which he did a cameo on High Kigk 3 (More on that in a later post), currently he’s filming for Miracle with Kim Kang Woo (I have more info on that as well as soon as I’m all updated ^_^) In the meantime enjoy some more pictures from Kim Bum’s Japanese Website…

Kim Bum Visits Japan & Thailand

So since I’m still playing catch up on news, we all know what Kim So Eun is up to and doing so it’s only fair that I post some updates on her Bumsso’s significant other…or the other half that makes up the Bumsso Couple — Kim Bum

After completion of Padam Padam he has been very busy, and this is old news since he’s already back from his visits and has already begun shootingMiracle, with Kim Kang Woo, but more on that later.

First on the list of Kim Bum updates is his visits to Japan and Thailand where he was met with a lot of fans (and I mean lot…of screaming fans) which only attests to his hallyu star status.

Unseen photos from Japanese fanmeeting

There are some unseen photos that weren’t revealed in the last post about the Japanese fanmeeting. Especially, Kim Bum playing the guitar is very handsome.

Check out the photos below:

I think that’s all of the pictures from the King Kong website. Enjoy!

Kim Bum resolves lawsuit with Eyagi

Our prayers seem to be answered after all. King Kong Ent and Eyagi Ent have resolved their lawsuit (Eyagi Ent dropped the accusations), both companies wanting to continue having a partner-like relationship.

Kim Bum will return to Japan on April 24th to promote Boys Over Flowers.

Once Upon a Time in Japan…

They like to wear plaid to the same event – the press conference (although on different days). I think some of you might have noticed already. They always match so well. Thanks to staranise & iheartkimbum for the tips =]

And then what is even more exciting is that:

At the press conference for new BOF SOFF photo book, the MC asked F3, “Have you ever said sweet alluring words to girls in your private life, as you said in the drama?”

Kim Bum answered, “I’m not the type of guy to say such things to girls, but I’m still calling/addressing Kim So Eun as ‘Gaeul-yang’.”

(FYI, Lee Min Ho answered, “I’m not capable to say such things to girls.” Kim Jun, “I’m not good at those things, I just try to convey my feelings sincerely.”)

So he doesn’t like to give cute nicknames to girls, but breaks the rule for So Eun. Suspicious no?

“Ga Eul-yang” Kim So Eun joins Japanese Promotion

Kim So Eun will join the second (and last) <Boys Over Flowers> Japanese promotion on September 5th and 6th (both days) at Yokohama National University Hall. She will appear along with actor Im Ju Hwan during the first event on the 5th.

Kim So Eun did not participate in the first <Boys Over Flowers> Japanese promotion last April. Therefore during this large scale promotion she will try to accomplish as much as possible and greet the Japanese fans with the main cast.

An organizer expressed, “As soon as Geum Jan Di (Gu Hye Sun)’s friend Kim So Eun appeared on <Boys Over Flowers>, she naturally gave off her innocent charms. During this event, her feminine charms will also appeal to the Japanese fans. Also she is currently preparing to give a performance on stage.”

During this visit, Kim So Eun, along with Im Ju Hwan, T-Max, Howl and others will meet with the Japanese fans on stage. Kim So Eun is currently resting after the closure of her drama “The Man Who Can’t Get Married”.

It looks like our prayers are answered! She will be there on the 6th with F4 and Gu Hye Sun. I hope there is plenty of interactions involved. I wonder how they’re going to celebrate her birthday with her!
