韓国のアイドルグループＵ－ＫＩＳＳで活躍し、その後脱退したキボム（２０）が、アレンの名でソロになり日本で再始動することが２６日、分かった。１０月には舞台「絆２０１１ 少年よ大紙を抱け！」で本格俳優デビューする。それに先立ち、９月には音楽イベントで司会（ＭＣ）デビューするなど、マルチに活動する予定だ。アレンは「日本で俳優、歌手、ＭＣ、作曲…といろいろなことをしたい。『万能エンターテイナー』として活躍していきたい」と目を輝かせた。
アレンは本名のキボムで活動していた韓国のアイドルグループＵ－ＫＩＳＳを今年２月に脱退した。今後は日本で、アレンの名でソロとして再始動することになった。
アイドル時代につちかった歌やダンスは得意。日本語だけでなく英語も堪能だ。アレンとして、１０月２０日から始まる舞台「絆２０１１ 少年よ大紙を抱け！」で初のミュージカルに挑み、本格俳優デビューする。メーン役の１人としてイケメン高校生役を演じる。
役柄と同じはかま姿になったアレンは「気持ちいいな～。かっこよくなっちゃった気分。日本にもっと近づいた感じです」とノリノリ。「ミュージカルや俳優は初めてですけど、本当の自分を見せたい。仲間が増えるので、日本の俳優との共演が楽しみです」と意気込みをみせた。
舞台前の９月１０日には鹿児島で開かれる「Ｋ－ＰＯＰ ＭＵＳＩＣ ＦＥＳＴＩＶＡＬ ２０１１ ｉｎ ＫＡＧＯＳＨＩＭＡ」で司会デビューも飾る。アレンが目指すのは何でもできる「万能エンターテイナー」だ。「俳優、歌手、ＭＣ、作曲…いろんなことを日本でしたい。やりたいことは絶対やります。万能エンターテイナー、できます！」と笑顔で前を見つめた。
流ちょうな日本語は日本のドラマ、映画、アニメを見たり、日本人と積極的に会話しながら「楽しみながら自然に覚えたんです」というから吸収も早い。
兄のキム・ヒョンジュン（通称マンネ）は韓国の人気グループＳＳ５０１のメンバー。アレンはＵ－ＫＩＳＳ脱退後、兄とともにキャラクター会社を設立したほど仲がいい。アレンは「お兄さんはいつも僕のことを心配してくれる、優しい人。いつか兄弟でアルバムを作ったり、一緒にやりたいですね」と夢も語った。
日本のファンには「日本の人たちとも心と心が通じ合えるように、日本語や日本文化を全部勉強しますので、みなさんも僕のことをもっとよく知ってくれるとうれしいです」とメッセージを送った。

When I say I want to do something, I will absolutely do it. I will become an 'all-rounded entertainer'" he said with a smile and while looking intently.
