The former idol also revealed his brother and SS301 member Kim Hyung Jun was a great support behind his new business. Kim Kibum stated, "I wanted to do it with my hyung but the timing didn't work out because he's currently serving his military duty. But he gave me support in various ways."

As for his career in the entertainment industry, he commented, "I'm going to focus on this for now." However, he also left room for possibilities as he added, "I might be returning through a different field."
