The actor landed in the Vietnamese capital at around 9:35 p.m., where dozens of fans had gathered to welcome him despite the late hour. Many supporters brought flowers, gifts and memorabilia as they waited for the Korean star’s arrival.

Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, Kim Bum greeted fans with warm smiles and frequent waves. He also accepted flowers and gifts while repeatedly expressing his appreciation for the warm reception from Vietnamese supporters.

Photos and videos of the actor at the airport quickly spread across social media platforms, attracting significant attention from fans in Vietnam and other Asian countries.

Now 37, the actor was widely praised for maintaining a youthful image that many fans said remains remarkably similar to his appearance during the peak of his popularity in Boys Over Flowers nearly two decades ago.

His clear complexion, relaxed demeanor and signature smile prompted many social media users to comment on his seemingly ageless appearance.

During his stay in Hanoi, Kim Bum is scheduled to participate in Beauty Summit 2026 as an event ambassador and take part in several promotional activities. The actor is also expected to meet Vietnamese fans through a number of engagement events organised during the exhibition.

Beauty Summit 2026 is among the international beauty industry events being held in Vietnam, bringing together businesses, brands and professionals from the beauty and cosmetics sectors.

Kim Bum (real name Kim Sang Bum, born July 7, 1989, in Seoul) began his acting career in 2006 and became widely known for his role as So Yi Jung in Boys Over Flowers. He later appeared in projects including That Winter, the Wind Blows, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Law School and Ghost Doctor.
