by VITALSIGN

Actor Kim Bum will be making a cameo appearance on MBC’s ‘High Kick 3‘!
Kim Bum was part of the original series in which he played the role of a student lodger. Fast forward three seasons, and he’s now climbed the rungs of the social status ladder by becoming a wealthy businessman, whom Krystal falls in love with upon first sight.
The two first meet on the elevator of a shopping mall. Krystal immediately notices his handsome looks and the fact that he’s a shopping mall CEO to boot, makes him irresistible in her eyes.
Representatives of Kim Bum stated, “Upon being called by PD Kim Byung Wook, Kim Bum dashed to the set to make a cameo, out of friendship.”
Kim Bum added, “I met up with so many friends that I was able to finish the filming on a positive note. I can’t believe the show is already on its third season. As someone that was a part of its first, it’s an honor to take part again. I was worried about whether I’d be able to participate because the series is almost coming to an end so I’m glad the director called me just in time.”
Kim Bum’s episode will air on March 8th.

22-Year-Old Kim Bum Suffers from Arthritis Following Drastic Weight Loss
by: hotshotlover30

It’s been revealed that actor Kim Bum (22) has been suffering from degenerative arthritis. A representative of his management agency stated, “Ever since his drastic weight loss, Kim Bum has been suffering from knee arthritis.” Kim Bum had lost 11kg (~25 pounds) for his latest role in drama, JTBC’s “Padam Padam…The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats.”
During the drama’s press conference last November, Kim Bum revealed, “I lost 11kg for my role in the series. The character that I was to play wasn’t the type who had any excess body fat. Therefore, I started working out before we began filming.”
To get into character, Kim Bum went through a rigorous workout program. Additionally, he was involved in a car accident in 2009 and suffered some minor injuries. The culmination of the excessive exercise, drastic weight loss, and past accidents most likely factored into Kim Bum’s current condition.
A source close to Kim Bum expressed, “We’re worried because he’s been diagnosed with arthritis at a young age. We will be extra careful and attentive with his treatment.”
