KUYA KIM – TV host Kuya Kim Atienza just gave fans a major throwback moment after sharing a 90s “The Buzz” clip that revisited his rumored pursuit of singer-actress Vina Morales.
Kim Atienza, popularly known as “Kuya Kim,” recently took his followers down memory lane with a nostalgic post on Instagram that stirred laughs and fond memories among fans.
The well-loved TV host shared an old video clip from The Buzz, the iconic ABS-CBN showbiz talk show hosted by Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda. The vintage segment featured a lighthearted scoop about Kuya Kim allegedly pursuing singer-actress Vina Morales during the 1990s.
In the clip, Kris Aquino could be seen delivering the intriguing piece of showbiz news, complete with the on-screen headline: “KIM ATIENZA, HINAHABOL SI VINA!” The story detailed how the young councilor supposedly flew to Las Vegas just to watch Vina’s concert—something that immediately piqued the interest of showbiz fans at the time. Kris even added a playful remark that heightened the buzz: “Does this mean na si Councilor Kim Atienza na ang ipapalit ni Vina sa puso niya after Congressman Miguel Zubiri? Let’s find out from Vina.”
Vina Morales was then shown in a short interview segment where she expressed genuine surprise about the situation. “Nagulat ako actually, hindi ko ine-expect na andun siya,” she said, clarifying that while she didn’t think Kuya Kim was “courting” her, he was indeed “very open” about his feelings.
Boy Abunda chimed in, noting that Atienza had been linked to several personalities at the time, describing him as a “good-looking, good man” and even revealing that Kuya Kim was a former ballet dancer—a fun tidbit that amused viewers.
In his caption for the throwback post, Kuya Kim reflected on how much simpler life was back then. “It was the 90s, life was very different. We were young, carefree and bold! There was no social media, we communicated verbally and with 5210 Nokias and Easycall pagers only when necessary,” he wrote.
He ended his post on a warm note, expressing gratitude for how life turned out for everyone involved. “Life has turned out well for Vina, myself, and all. Kris Aquino became Felicia’s and my wedding ninang and Boy became the ninong of our first born Jose,” Kuya Kim added, charming netizens with his heartfelt nostalgia.
