The Korean actor, who has began his military duties last April 26, has announced through an official statement from his agency that he has been diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in his 20s. “Because of a hereditary illness, Kim Bum has been receiving treatment ever since his early 20’s. He has tried to overcome the illness through medication and exercising,” King Kong Entertainment stated.
