Kim Ki Bum bids farewell to SM Ent. and Super Junior.

First it was Kris, then Luhan followed by Tao from EXO-M group, not long Jessica from Girl's Generation said goodbye to SM Entertainment and their original groups. Sulli from f(X) has temporarily stopped her singing activities with SM Ent. as well.


And the recent and most updated news we have is Kim Ki Bum who was missing in action from Super Junior group for so many years dropped the bombshell that he has finally ended the contract with SM Entertainment and is leaving the agency and idol group for good. On 20th August, via Ki Bum's own Instagram account he bids farewell to the agency and group stating he will start new life and journey while thanking the management and group all these years. 

Must be all joy and happiness for the poor fella who hasn't been doing much ever since the last time we saw him in the promotion of Sorry Sorry. That was like 6 years ago!
Even members of SuJu are in and out from the army but we heard nothing from Ki Bum. 

SM Entertainment rep has confirmed that the contract has ended with Ki Bum so he is finally getting out from the company. On the same day via Twitter, Super Junior member Ryeo Wook also tweeted that he wished Ki Bum all the best and will always cheer him no matter what he does and where he is. He hopes their memories when they were in the same group will remain as it is.

In 2004, Ki Bum debuted as an actor in the drama April Kiss and in 2005, he started promoting heavily in the idol group Super Junior. He was seen in several variety programs at the start along with ex-chinese member Hankyung as well. After the promotion of Sorry Sorry album, he has ceased most of his singing activities and concentrated on acting.
In 2006, he played in the drama Snow Flower alongside Go A-Ra, long drama Rainbow Romance with fellowmate Hee Chul and in 2007 in Attack of the Pin-up Boys.

In 2008, he starred in Chunja's Happy Events drama with actress Wang Bitna. With all the concerts by SuJu, he hasn't appeared in the events at all even his face was promoted on the posters. In 2011, Ki Bum was casted a smaller role for the sageuk drama Tree With Deep Roots. Then in 2012, he played opposite actress Park Yeh Jin in the comical drama I Love Lee Tae Ri. While in the year of 2013 and 2014, he headed towards China side to act in several Chinese dramas. 

Hereby, we say farewell to Ki Bum who was once a 2nd youngest member of Super Junior group. We wish him all the best in his future and hope to see him on small screen soon!
