Korean actor Kim Bum has undergone questioning by authorities regarding a dispute between his current and former agency over his contract, according to the investigation department at Seoul Central District Court on Friday.
An official at the department explained the actor recently received questioning as a testifier over a lawsuit filed by I Entertainment who, in early December, sued Kim's current management talenthouse King Kong Entertainment.
The 20-year-old, whose real name is Kim Sang Bum, gained recognition by appearing in popular sitcom "High Kick" (MBC, 2006) and "East of Eden" (MBC, 2008). He shot to stardom last year after portraying a heartthrob high-schooler in the hit KBS TV series "Boys Over Flowers".
He currently appears in the Wednesday/Thursday drama "Still, Marry Me" alongside actress Park Jin-hee.
