Korean actor Kim Bum will play the late Bruce Lee (1940-1973), the legendary martial artist, in a new Chinese TV show, according to various media reports.

Kim is best known for his role as So Yi-jung, in Boys Over Flowers.

Kim, 26, will feature as the Hong Kong American martial artist and action film star in the Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation show tentatively titled “Yip Man and Bruce Lee.” He reportedly is the only Korean in the cast, and will leave for China this month.  

This will be Kim’s debut in a Chinese TV series, but he has featured in two Chinese movies, “Lovers and Movies” and “The Beloved,” a hit this year.
