Kim Bum in Manila
Kim Sang Bum, a Korean actor, came to Manila this October to promote his new drama "Dream" and to shoot a TV ad with Maja Salvador for RC Cola. When I went to HK with my family, we tuned in to a Korean channel and was bombarded with lots of Kim Bum material. He was voted the hottest new actor in one of the TV shows. His popularity sky rocketed in Manila in the show Boys Over Flowers, the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango and Meteor Garden.
Luckily, a good soul from ABS-CBN gave us passes to Kim Bum's "fan day" yesterday at the Dolphy Theater. I've never been a studio audience before, so waiting for hours was a feat. I fell asleep at the theater, woke up and he still wasn't there! We got there at around 12 NN and Kim Bum arrived at 4 PM. DSLRs and video cameras were prohibited (thanks to EYAGI Entertainment) so I had to be contented to use an Olympus FE-20 to get half-decent photos. 
When Kim Bum arrived at Dolphy Theater, the fan girls went wild, more so when Ruffa Gutierrez exclaimed "May pag-asa pa kayo!", after asking him if he had a girlfriend. I thought we actually went there for a Meet and Greet (Mate and Greet LOL) but sadly, we weren't given a chance to actually even go near the stage. 
I wouldn't wait in line for hours for another Korean actor, I swear!
