(pada saat interview untuk drama hit "Dream" KimBum secara arsetif menyatakan aktor kawakan Jo In Sung sebagai Idola-nya dan salah 1 artis yg paling dijadikan acuan untuk menjadi lebih baik daripada Jo In Sung sendiri)


Kim Bum stated, “Jo In Sung is very similar to me in that his acting debut was through a sitcom. He was then able to participate in successful dramas like “Piano” and become widely accepted as a top star. As I witnessed his progress, I thought to myself that I’d love to be just like him and learn from him.” KimBum mengatakan, "JoInSung sangat mirip denganku dalam debut akting yaitu melalui sitkom. Dia bisa berhasil berpartisipasi di drama sukses seperti "Piano" dan diterima sebagai aktor papan atas. Aku yg menyaksikan perkembangan-nya, aku mempunya pikiran kalau aku akan sangat senang menjadi dirinya dan belajar daripada-nya

Even before Kim Bum’s debut, he enjoyed watching Jo In Sung’s acting. He then confessed that he watched and analyzed not only Jo In Sung’s acting skills, but his every move- even in his personal life.

When asked if he ever thought about returning to sitcoms, Kim Bum stated that sitcoms are such a fun genre, and given the opportunity, he’d love to try it out again. Specifically, he liked the fact that sitcoms make people laugh and feel happy.

Kim Bim shows off his acting versatility and professionalism through his different roles. On this particular day, Kim endured the grueling task of shooting action scenes outdoors and receiving numerous blows from his opponent during a boxing match. Considering the amount of love he has been receiving, it wouldn’t be surprising if Kim Bum’s success were to one day surpass that of his idol. The respect these colleagues have for each other is admirable!
