Kim Bum (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
