- Kibum is fluent in Japanese and can write fluently in hirogana, katakana and Kanji. He learnt this simply because of his interest in Japan.
- Kibum once famously said that if he wasn’t in U-Kiss he would probably be sitting on his couch eating tangerines/oranges.
- Kibum said in U-Kiss’ first Chinese interview with Sina that he was embarrassed that he could only say his name, and ask “have you eaten?” (which is a pun on his name). He said he would most certainly learn more Chinese. That was 2008. In Taiwan recently Kibum showcased his failure to follow through with these plans by saying only “Hello I’m 基范 (pronounced like chee fan). Have you eaten? (sounds like “chee fan luh ma?”) .” And no other Chinese whatsoever.
- Kibum and his brother started the company HnB company sometimein 2009. (I’m not 100% sure when). It was started as a music producing company. It originally stood for Hyung and Bum company. He played some of the music they produced in All About U-Kiss, the episode they went to Kibum’s house.
