Hoah~ who don't know PiroPiro? It's the character toys managed by the HnB Company, Hyung Joon and Ki Bum~^^ There are two characters so far, PiroPiro and SiroSiro. I think there'll be another new character, MaroMaro based from what they state in the official website. Want to know who exactly is PiroPiro, SiroSiro and MaroMaro, go here for the story~ it's a very interesting and creative story! ♥
Before PiroPiro was launched, I think UKISS gotta had them first~ these are the pics Kevin tweeted.
lolz~ Soohyun seemed to be amazed eh? keke~
Yah~ Kevin.. you wouldn't dare to bite Kibum's ear, so you just bite PiroPiro's.. hehe~XD

Introducing~ the spokesperson for PiroPiro! Kim Choco~♥
Wishing the business of this character merchandise will be successful and popular worldwide! fighting!
I guess this issue of him leaving UKISS is pretty hot now. He has been interviewed for this several times.
Here, he makes better explanation regarding the issue. It's pretty awful to see him cry.
As what he explained, their contract is somewhat like the 'slave contract' as their contract lasts for 10 years. But, the company ends his and Xander's contract after 3 years, but nothing were charged on the company. I dunno if this is the trick or else. He also stated how the payment was made for each of their activities.
Kibum started preparing to be an idol since 16 y/o, and he even gave up on his studies. But Kibum himself didn't expect things would be twisted to be like this. Some rumors even stated he's more into his character business than UKISS, and said he deserved this. *i'm killing those people!*
During his early debut, he was the main in UKISS, and also Alexander as they have the big influence - his brother is Kim Hyung Jun, member of SS501 while Xander can speak up to 7 different language.
In the midst of the show, his mother came. Then I just know that they actually has no father. No father here means their parents divorced when they were still little boys. As her mom speaks on how she was left with her two sons to raise, she suffer a lot during raising them and by that I cried~
And then Kibum said, for their family, their father is Kim Hyung Jun. (I'm seriously crying at this part). Kim Hyung Jun takes the responsibility to take care of the family since he started preparing to debut at 15 y/o so he carries the most stressful responsibility. And Kibum is being apologetic for not being able to help his brother. Here he stated Kim Hyung Jun is more angrier than Kibum does when Kibum was forced to leave UKISS, coz he really care for his brother and always promote UKISS wherever he is.
If they are terminating Kibum coz he lack skills of singing, hey.. he never got any chance to prove his skill. Coz I've listen his singing when he's on some varieties, and he's not bad though.. the company had made a wrong decision, truly..
I'm still shocked. It's now UKISS' peak of fame. These should wait, at least. I just don't know what should I say more.. T__T Kibum is my bias in UKISS, followed by Kevin.. I'll miss his arrogant yet dorkiness.. huhu~
even Hyungjun tweeted to his dongsaeng~ what a warm brotherhood~ (credit to Liezle)

NH Media makes statement regarding withdrawal of UKISS's Alexander and Kim Kibum
U-KISS’sagency, NH Media, recently came out with an official statement regarding the withdrawal of two members, Alexander and Kim Kibum.
NH Media issued a press release on February 23rd which read, “We felt infinite happiness during the time we spent together with U-KISS, however, after a long time of worrying, we made this difficult decision because we genuinely felt that the team needed member replacements.”
“With Kim Kibum’s case, we made a mutual agreement to terminate his exclusive contract recently. With Alexander’s case, he may be leaving U-KISS, but after a very long discussion, we decided that he will be remaining with the agency to fulfill his personal, overseas activities.”
“We think very importantly of the time we spent together with the two members, and we’re thankful for the time we sweated together. Even though we have ended his exclusive contract, we hope that we can maintain a good relationship with Kibum, who is still a family member in our hearts. Also, as his former agency, we hope to help him in a variety of ways in the future.”
“Through these happenings, U-KISS will reborn as a more mature and developed team. There will be two new members of U-KISS who will reinforce the group’s comeback next month, and they are currently working hard with the other members. We will be revealing the new members to the fans soon.”
NH Media concluded, “We thank you again for showing interest in U-KISS, and we apologize for causing concerns.”

Kim Kibum explains his departure from UKISS
“Hello this is U-KISS Kibum, or more specifically, an ex-member of U-KISS, Kim Kibum.
After two months of delay, I’ve finally plucked up the courage to write this post.
First off, the agency and I have made an agreement about my exclusive contract on February 2011.
As the agency desired a member replacement, we wrote out a consent document for a contract dissolution, and from that day on, I became a former member of U-KISS.
Contrary to what most of you might be thinking, this is unrelated to my Piro Piro business… nor is it about losing interest in U-KISS.
I always thought importantly of U-KISS more than anyone, and I’m proud to say that not once did my Piro Piro character business impede my schedules with U-KISS..
I always thought of the members as more than family. I’m extremely upset that I have to part with them like this, but it was because of my lacking areas which warranted my former agency to desire a member replacement.
I may be leaving on a one-sided decision, however, I was able to learn a lot and meet many people, as well as the U-KISS members.
My feelings are very mixed up on the thought that the few lines in this message could hurt a lot of people I love.
I will continue my personal activities on broadcast.
Thank you to all the people who supported me wherever I was, and I will meet you once again as an entrepreneur,
