Super Junior's Kim Kibum for ELLE magazine

Super Junior's Kim Kibum has long been MIA these days, but to his fans' delight, he recently resurfaced for the October edition of ELLE magazine. He ditched his boyish charms for a more mature and masculine look, which was further emphasized by the black-and-white effect of his shots. Kim Kibum ushered in the fall season with his warm sweaters and leather jackets. An insider informs that the photoshoot took place in a hotel suite and Kibum wowed the staff with his natural modeling abilities, striking the right poses and facial expressions. Kibum has also taken a role in the new SBS drama scheduled to air every Wednesday and Thursday, 'Deep-Rooted Tree'. He will be acting alongside veteran actors such as Han Suk Kyu, Jang Hyuk, and Yoon Jae Moon. The singer, who took on an acting role for the first time in a while, commented, "I got goosebumps watching myself acting. I feel like a complete amateur." "But I think acting is more fun now than it once was for me," he continued. "I think I will be able to show the audience that I'm a little more confident." Source & Image : Newsen
