kibum and kibum are friends

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

U-Kiss, who is popular in Korea with single Not Young and cover of Backstreet Boys' song As Long As You Love Me, arrived in Changsha, took part in a recording of Hunan's popular TV program Everyday Up and accepted an interview by 'Golden Eagle Entertainment'.

U-Kiss is made up of 6 members, Alexander, Shin Dongho, Kim Kyung Jae, Kim Kibum, Woo Sunghyun and Shin Soohyun. Alexander mentioned that the group name "U-Kiss" means "new generation idol group". In Korea, DBSK and Super Junior are very popular and Alexander hopes that U-Kiss will be able to be like their seniors, DBSK and Super Junior, and become popular in Asia.

U-Kiss member, Kim Kibum, made his debut through SBS Inkigayo, and his elder brother is Kim Hyungjoon, from popular korean group SS501. Kibum says that ever since he has made his debut, his elder brother has always been supporting him. When Kim Hyungjoon attends broadcasts, he always tells the fans and staff, "My brother is Kim Kibum from U-Kiss." The support and encouragement from his elder brother touches Kibum greatly.

Kim Kibum has the same name as Super Junior member Kim Kibum. When promoting in Korea, does he face any difficulties from having the same name? Kibum says, "Having the same name as Kim Kibum from Super Junior has not given me any problems. Instead, it makes us easier to be friends." Turns out that Kim Kibum (U-Kiss) and Super Junior's Kibum go to the same stylist and when they meet each other during schedules, they often chat with one antoher. Kibum expresses that, together with the other 5 members of U-Kiss, he awaits the day where they can be as popular as Super Junior in Korea.

Just because international fans don't give a dick about them doesn't mean they have no fans in Korea as well :[

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

i didn't say they don't have fans in korea, but i certainly wouldn't call them popular given the boyband competition.

...Kim Kibum (U-Kiss) and Super Junior's Kibum go to the same stylist and when they meet each other during schedules...

my only reaction to this? WHAT schedules? everyone knows SJ!Kibum is just secretly living in a bunker somewhere, coming out only to show up for other people's press conferences now and then so rumors don't hit the news that he's died.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

he's super busy with ACTING LESSONS. remember????

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

Turns out that Kim Kibum (U-Kiss) and Super Junior's Kibum go to the same stylist

BOY. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE SAME STYLIST AS SUJU'S KIBUM. TRUST ME.

[meloncreme.livejournal.com]

They're going to be on the Hunan channel tonight, if anyone's interested. xD

[wad.livejournal.com]

I love it when Hyungjun fanboys his little brother ♥ I think they're supposed to be writing songs together too.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

He does?
OMG that's so cute.

LOL

[xxsmiiles.livejournal.com]

LOL they should become friends with Kim Bum too. The Bums! Gosh, U-Kiss needs to do more promotions in Korea! Aren't they stuck in Japan right now?

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

lol~ until now i didn't know even one name of a U-Kiss member but i think i can memorize this one xD

[kakigori.livejournal.com]

I wonder how they addressed(?) each other 8D it kinda feels weird/awkward calling someone with the same name as yours, imo... hm, but then again, maybe it's pretty normal in Korea anyway LOL. XD;;;

[goldengutgirl.livejournal.com]

so like, which one is he in that group photo? lol
