Earlier, JYP Entertainment had released a new mysterious teaser, informing the public on an upcoming group “JJ Project“. Although many had already assumed JJ to stand for JB and Jr., the details had not been confirmed until now.

JJ Project indeed is composed of members JB (Lim Jae Beom) and Jr. (Park Jin Young), who were both accepted as JYP trainees in 2009 through JYP’s 5th audition. The two then made their debut in the popular KBS drama ‘Dream High 2‘, familiarizing themselves to the public.

Born in 1994, JB played the leader of boy band in the drama, showing off his powerful dance skills. On the otherhand, JR, who is currently attending Gyeonggi High School, played the role of JB’s backdancer, Jung Eui Bong. Jr. was given his stage name due to the fact that his full name, Park Jin Young, is the same as J.Y. Park’s, which had resulted in his nickname of ‘Park Jin Young Jr.’

A representative of JYP Entertainment stated, “We believe JYP Entertainment’s new project JJ will be the most pleasant and exciting project that JYP has ever done. Please continue to look forward to JYP’s ‘jackpot’ JJ Project.”

After teasing fans with two short teasers, the anticipated drama ‘Dream High 2‘ released a longer third teaser today.

The new teaser continued to show the tension between the privileged idols and the other students of Kirin Arts High School. It also showed an indepth look in to the underdogs Kang Sora and Jinwoon‘s life as they try to become singers.

In one scene Kang Sora fails an audition and begs on her knees for a second chance. As a judge, Kahi coldly tells her that her skills are sub par. She replies, “With those skills you can’t go anywhere. If they pick you anywhere else I will make you in to a singer”. Kang Sora angrily storms out and looks at a picture of the popular girl group with Jiyeon, Hyorin and Ailee. She remarks, “I am better than you guys, much better”.

Another scene depicts Jinwoon singing and playing a guitar for some change on the streets. The already popular JB steals the spotlight and their rivalry continues. Later JB tells Jinwoon, “If you have skills, why doesn’t the world know you?”. An angered Jinwoon clenches his fist and JB replies, “If you hit me I guess you’ll become famous”.

Looks like the story is unfolding, leaving more fans to count down the days till the season premiere episode on January 30th.

Check out the teaser below!

SISTAR‘s Hyorin and T-ara‘s Jiyeon who have been cast in the new ‘Dream High 2‘ drama expressed the need for special laws protecting minors in the entertainment industry.

At the ‘Dream High 2‘ press conference that was held at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Seoul on January 17th, Jiyeon remarked, “In the drama, there are special laws protecting minors in the entertainment industry, and I wish those laws existed in reality.”

In the drama series, there are laws that protect under-age celebrities, making it illegal for minors to work more than 30 hours at a time, and those who are not enrolled in school are forbidden from even becoming a celebrity.

Practices and TV appearances are forbidden after 10PM, and under-age minors are also required to attend 20 hours of classes on a weekly basis.

The ‘special laws’ in the drama series apply to hot fictional idol group HUSH & EDEN who need to transfer schools, and the same laws also apply to them when they are in Japan.

T-ara’s Jiyeon was born in 1993, and she is currently a high school student. She added, “I want to attend school with my friends, and want some time for myself. I like being a celebrity, but I do feel I need a break from time to time.”

SISTAR’s Hyorin agreed with her saying, “When you’re a celebrity, it’s so hard to keep a regular sleep schedule and it’s hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My schedule is so jam-packed that I have less time to practice singing then back when I was a trainee.”

2AM‘s Jung Jinwoon however had a different opinion stating, “If those laws were actually signed, there will be definite limitations on what we could do as artists. There are a lot of things I learned as I worked. I made my debut when I was a minor too, but I feel like if you really wanted to, you can both work and go to school at the same time.”

In the drama, Jinwoon plays the role of a devious student who dreams of becoming a rock star, while Hyorin plays the role of a lead vocalist named NaNa, and Jiyeon plays the role of an idol as well.

‘Dream High 2′ tells the story of students who dream of becoming top stars in the industry. The series stars Kang Sora, Jung Jinwoon, Park Jiyeon, JB, Hyorin, Park Seo Jun, Yoo Soyoung, Kim Jisoo, Ailee, Jr, Jung Yeon Joo, Park Jin Young, Kim Jung Tae, Kwon Hae Hyo, Choi Yeo Jin, Kahi, and more. The first episode airs January 30th.

‘Dream High 2‘ has just unveiled its official poster!

The main cast were divided into two groups, which many interpreted to mean that one group is more privileged than the other. The bottom group is comprised of 2AM‘s Jinwoon and actress Kang Sora, who were hinted to be characters from a rough background (see here and here for still-cuts from their introductory scenes) earlier.

Meanwhile, the other group is comprised of SISTAR‘s Hyorin, T-ara‘s Jiyeon, and two male rookies named JB (JYP Entertainment) and Park Seo Joon (KeyEast Entertainment).

The haughty looks they toss at Jinwoon and Kang Sora (who volley with scowls of their own) seem to lend credence to the theory that their characters are talented, but arrogant.

‘Dream High 2′ will undoubtedly be releasing more teasers, so stay tuned to urkpop for updates!

MBC’s ‘We Got Married‘ has announced that they will be switching out their current couples.

In a recent recording, Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk, Donghae, Sungmin, and Kyuhyun had a blind date with four actresses to decide who the next couple will be.

A representative of MBC revealed, “We’re not sure how many new couples are going to be added, but two pairs became a couple from the blind date. We’ll be showing the dating process before they join the show as an official couple.”

The representative continued, “With the addition of these new couples, I think that we will be switching out the original couples as well. The Park So Hyun-Kim Won Joon couple and Lee Jang Woo-Ham Eunjung couple will soon be departing from the show.”
