Zhao and Ho asked in a recent paper that for each T0 space X, whether KB(X) (the set of all irreducible closed sets of X whose suprema exist) is the canonical k-bounded sobrification of X in the sense of Keimel and Lawson. In this paper, we construct a counterexample to give a negative answer. We also consider the subcategory Topκ of the category Top0 of T0 spaces, and prove that the category KBSob of k-bounded sober spaces is a full reflective subcategory of the category KBSob of k-bounded sober spaces is a full reflective subcategory of the category Topκ.
