Kim Ki-bum Visits SM Entertainment Building
‘Two Feet Life’ is a new road variety show where stars and their family, friends, and colleague walk through a nostalgic location together.
On the December 14 episode, Kim Ki-bum made a variety show appearance for the first time in years. He commented, “I think it’s been more than 10 years since I appeared on a variety show. I’m very nervous.”
Kim Ki-bum visited his old hometown, the SM Entertainment building, and his old dorm with his friends. Before immigrating to the United States at age 11, Kim Ki-bum lived at Dogok-dong. He visited his elementary school and teared up when he met the owner of the school supply shop.
Next, he visited the apartment he used to live during his SM trainee days. He shared, “I used to live in the same apartment building as Lee Soo-man’s parents. Lee Soo-man said he saw me in the parking lot and gave me his business card. And then I started training in Korea.”
Kim Ki-bum recalled his Super Junior days and said, “At the time, I lived with Super Junior and TVXQ hyungs,” and shared, “Fans used to camp out here and wait for us.” When asked if he keeps in touch with his former members, Kim Ki-bum answered, “I still talk to Heechul hyung. I’ve also met Donghae hyung this year. It was nice to see him.”
Kim Ki-bum was astonished by how the SM Entertainment building changed, commenting, “Look how much SM has changed.”
[Two Feet Life] Kibum went to SM building then suddenly the guard saw him and greet him while giving a warm hand shake.
KIBUM: this guard always looked after us, when we practiced, end in the early morning, but he'd be there, taking care of the building.

Kim Ki-bum then explained about his long hiatus. He told about his career after leaving the agency that quite raised his name as an idol and actor.

I learned that this wasn’t something I can do alone and tried to do things I couldn’t do before. While doing these things, I learned about gratefulness.” he said.
