Wow. I scrolled WAY past 2 AM. That was so much fun.
(Big thanks for the flower shop event, too.)

@paikchi: Lee Yeon and Lee Rang should be the models for the alcohol brand that’s using the gumiho character. I mean, we LITERALLY have Chosun’s living gumihos right here. Hello.

Kim Bum: I agree. I like that brand of alcohol, too.

When his fans got curious (or terrified, depending)…

@bbfoxnun: Scrolled what past 2 AM…? Twitter…? OMFG, Kim Bum… I hope “Chosun’s Gumiho” is the ONLY trending words he searched… Gosh darn, he’s TERRIFYING.

Kim Bum: Trending words? But I know how to look up tweets about me. Even the ones being hidden from me. I even search in Thai. Should I not…?

…Kim Bum confirmed: He’s seeing all of the posts and reading all of the comments!

@jjoppu3: Seeing Kim Bum’s tweets, though, I’m kind of relieved. I think he looks at the most popular tweets and that’s it. Haha.

Kim Bum: Wrong. ^_^

When some fans grew worried that, spending too much time on Twitter, the actor could come across negative posts about him, Kim Bum reassured them that such tweets don’t bother him. But what does bother him?

The fact that theqoo doesn’t have a dedicated page under his name!

@youngahh62: Reason I want Kim Bum off Twitter: It’s fine that he’s looking at fan reactions. But here and there, he’ll come across tweets that are malicious. I don’t want him to see those.

Kim Bum: I don’t even care about malicious posts about me. I’m not bothered. All I want is for [the fans] to have fun watching K-Dramas I’m in. Also… It’s not ONLY Twitter that I’m looking at. Like… How come theqoo doesn’t have a page under my name?

It sure looks like Kim Bum has his eyes on everything, everywhere, all at once.

That being said, K-Drama fans are leaving love and support for the actor all over the internet—for the actor’s detective work to trace and find!
