F2 fansigning events draw huge crowds

The 28th was a busy day for F2 boys Kim Bum and Kim Joon, but particularly so for the former.

Both Boys Before Flowers stars attended a fansigning event that evening (above), but first, Kim Bum appeared at one of his own in the morning as well (below).

At 11:30 am, the fansigning session that took place in Seoul’s Myungdong shopping district drew a crowd of 2,500 fans:

This morning session took place at the store for Spris, the activewear clothing brand that Kim Bum endorses (with Go Ara), which sponsored the event.

Kim explained, “Because I’m filming the last shoot for Boys Before Flowers today, I’m sorry I couldn’t meet many of the fans. Even if it was only a short while, I’m so thankful for your huge support.”

Following the close of Boys Before Flowers in the coming days, Kim Bum moves his attention to the big screen — his war movie “71” is next, starring Yoo Seung-ho (Legend) and Big Bang’s Seung-ri.

Following that morning’s event, Kim Bum joined his castmate Kim Joon for another fansigning in the evening, this time at Seoul’s Yongsan I’PARKmall at 6pm:

This two-hour-long event tied in to the latest Boys Before Flowers merchandising, a second photo and music book (which contains 76 pages of new stills from the set); also sold on-site were the drama’s newly released OST 2 and OST 2.5 albums. On top of that, articles of clothing worn by the actors in the drama were auctioned off for charity.

Asked what he’ll remember most about BBF when it’s over, Kim Bum answered, “the ones with my partner Ga-eul [Kim So-eun],” to much cheer from fans. (Hey, the boy knows how to do fanservice right.)

Furthermore, preceding the signing session, pop group T-Max, of which Kim Joon is a member, gave a short performance.

Reading this makes me a bit sad b/c I know BOF (despite all the glaring flaws) is ending..

Do you think there will be a special of some sort (like the one they had after Goong finished or perhaps just a simple one like Hong Gil Dong had) seeing the immense popularity of BOF?

Oh gosh.. Were they going to do autograph for 2500 fans? kekekekee.. those fingers will fall off. But I think they would make a limit to how many people can get their autographs.
Kim Joon is very handsome!!!

The fact that 1.) I'm not Korean 2.) Do not speak or understand any Korean 3.) Do not live in Korea or anywhere near enough to even dream about attending those 'I'll-trample-the-girl-infront-of-me-just-to-get-a-smile' fan events SUCKS.
Oh, what I would give!

--Asked what he’ll remember most about BBF when it’s over, Kim Bum answered, “the ones with my partner Ga-eul [Kim So-eun]--
Haa. Yeahh, the boy does know how to do fanservice well (To be honest, I don't even need much, all I need is to see his smile *dies*) But smart answer nevertheless... sure got me screeching & arwwing for a bit =]

Maybe they should buy custom made stamps with their signatures? So like they don't have to sign the same thing over and over.
Stamping is much easier for their hands :P

Woah. So many fans, so many girls... I think I got scared just looking at the picture there. The only yother tinme I saw this happening was at the signing of 'the little nyonya' in Singapore. The floor of the shopping centre broke...

Ahh... the kid really knows how to do fanservice. Kudos to the two of them for being able to sign the whole night away.

Argh! Hand cramp!

kim bum's days when a girl chose another girl over him are over (a la sohee)... good riddance! please be in more (better, good) projects, please. and with the fanservice... well at least it sort of confirms his interest in girls. i honestly can't tell with most of the pop stars (i.e. idols, super junior-although i'm pretty sure they don't like girls, etc) nowadays so i feel a bit awkward fangirl-ing.

btw, javabeans, i find myself agreeing with almost all your points on your boys over flowers recap spiels... do you have any (published) work? i feel they would at least address those concerns, and i'm interested.

i really respect them. how they can prop their eyes open, smile, shake hands, sign over 2000 autographs, do fanservice, perform, look REALLY good...when they haven't slept well for weeks/months?

i guess the most important thing that the entertainment company taught them is to do just that. :)

Of course, Kim Bum must be thankful for having a love story with Kim So Eun in BOF. Without this relationship, he is just like Kim Joon, a shadow behind Go Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo. I only wish the PD would have given this wonderful couple more air time because they are unique compared to those in other versions of Hana Yori Dango.

I hope Kim Bum and Kim So Eun will have the leads in future movies and dramas. They have talent, look, and especially a great chemisty on screen.

OMG!!! Kim Bum so Hot! Cute! The killer smile! Aww! Melting.. Love him to death! Yeah he sure knows what to say, they taught him well.

**Kim Bum & Kim So Eun will be having CF together after B♥O♥F! (it's 본 아이에프 Bon I.F.)

As for Kim Joon I wish that he has more acting in B♥O♥F, I mean it felt like he was really an extra (w/ little lines & appearance). it seems he was just put in F4 to be likely F4.

I hope there's still a Movie! Where it shows JD & JP having family, and JP's mum already accepts her. Then, GE & YJ having a family as well. Then, JH having a happy love-life ending (SPOILER: since JD is going to marry JP!). And, more WB!!

Ahhh..!! Can't wait to watch!

Sad that B♥O♥F is ending tomorrow.
