Aigoo, one day has passed when I didn't check on updates and this is what I see. Why are they pointing their fingers to my Kibummie?! And come on, would he actually date someone who's 10 years older than him? Baek Boram is probably just making a joke and netizens took it seriously. And to the fans, Kiss Me's you shouldn't be cursing someone just because you've read a rumor linking Kibum to Baek Boram when you don't even know if it's true.
Be more cautious next time because I don't want Kibum to get involved in things like this. You will hurt him by immediately concluding that it's him or cursing the other person.
I'm relieved that he finally released a statement about it clearing his name in this rumor.
U-Kiss member Kibum clarified his position about the rumor about him and comedian Baek Boram.
Baek Boram had said on E Channel’s "Poker Face", "Male idol ‘K’, who I had met on the set, is interested in me. ‘K’ was born in 1990, and is a whole 10 years younger than me". Naturally, such a statement made viewers very interested about the identity of ‘K’.
Driven by their curiosity, netizens compiled a list of all the male idols born in 1990. U-Kiss’ Kibum was in that list, and when it began to look as if he was the one, Kibum wrote an explanation on his Cyworld diary on November 27th. He wrote, "There have been articles coming out since a few days ago which I didn’t think were important, but why is the fire suddenly coming to me?"
Kibum wrote, "Do I have to announce it? Should I be sorry to Boram noona for writing something like this? It’s not me."
He also revealed his disappointment in a few of his fans, saying, "And for a few of the KissMes (U-Kiss fans), you shouldn’t be like that. Readily writing things about me and women and cursing. There are so many idols born in 1990, so why is it me? Because we follow each other on Twitter? Because we know each other’s phone numbers? Because we were on ‘Love Chaser’? Please realize that things you say without thinking ends up hurting people."
Fans who read this responded with comforting comments like, "I feel better after reading this. Enough of the thoughtless guessing", "Even I’m feeling sorry. A rumor is just a rumor" and "We know it’s not you. Don’t get hurt".
