They first appeared as teen housemates on Pinoy Big Brother 1st Teen Edition where Kim emerged as the big winner and Gerald, the third placer. Since then, Kim and Gerald have appeared on several TV shows, movies, and product endorsements. Their new teleserye, My Girl, is airing on ABS CBN's Primetime Bida. It is the Pinoy adaptation of the popular Koreanovela starring Lee Dong-Wook, Lee Da-Hae, Lee Joon-Ki and Park Shi-Yeon that was dubbed in Tagalog and broadcast on ABS-CBN in 2006. Kim and Gerald are overwhelmed with the positive reviews of My Girl and are now called the Certified Hit Teen Loveteam of Asia. Kim and Gerald's teleserye stands alongside other successful Asianovelas that warm the hearts of Pinoy viewers like Jarred and Jackie of Lovers, Prince Gian and Janelle of Princess Hours, and Brian and Joey of Hana Kimi. Kim recently turned 18 and received a pink Ford Lynx from Gerald as a birthday present. When asked why he gave Kim a pink car, Gerald replied it was the best gift he could think of since he has given Kim just about everything from flowers to jewelry. Kim tried driving her new car but she still needs to get a driver's license. Her dad wants her to return the vehicle. Gerald, on the other hand, insists that he whole-heartedly gave the pink car to Kim. He saved a lot for this special gift. And Kim deserves it, Gerald enthuses. Source: The Philippine Star |
