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!

“Dream High” breakout star Kim Soo Hyun will make a cameo appearance in the pilot episode of “Dream High 2,” scheduled to air January 30. Currently, Kim Soo Hyun is busy filming his latest drama “The Moon that Embraces the Sun,” and many fans were skeptical as to whether he would have the time to film the cameo. However, it’s been announced that Kim Soo Hyun had already filmed the scene early on during the beginning of production stages. He will reprise his role as Song Sam Dong, a naïve country boy who goes on to become the first Korean to win a Grammy.

Producers of the upcoming show stated, “Kim Soo Hyun is very fond of the show, especially because he received so much love from the first season. When we asked him for a cameo, he agreed and completed the shoot early on.” “Dream High 2” has a long list of season 1 cast lined up to make a cameo appearance.

“Dream High 2” stars T-ara’s Ji Yeon, SISTAR’s Hyorin, 2AM’s Jin Woon, Kang So Ra, and rookie actors Park Seo Joon and JB. The second season will showcase the fierce music/dance battles between the top idol stars, who are about to have nervous breakdowns, and the school's troubled students.

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.

After teasing fans with two different posters, one with the main characters and the other with the full cast, KBS‘s ‘Dream High 2‘ has returned with its third and final cut.

Once again, the image features the six main characters: Kang Sora, 2AM‘s Jinwoon, SISTAR‘s Hyorin, T-ara‘s Jiyeon, and new actors JB and Park Seo Joo.

As with the first poster, four of the students were dressed in luxurious outfits, which belie a sense of privilege not found with Kang Sora and Jinwoon’s characters. In fact, Kang Sora and Jinwoon are seen in casual outfits, as if to emphasize their ‘underdog’ appeal.

The contrast between these two groups was further emphasized by the poster’s tagline, which read: ’The most problematic Kirin Arts High School students VS. The best idols“.

While the names of Kang Sora, Jinwoon, Jiyeon, and Hyorin are well known to the industry, JB and Park Seo Joo are relatively new. It’s been revealed that JB was the winner of the 5th JYP Auditions, and that he possesses great dance and vocal abilities. Park Seo Joo, meanwhile, is a rookie actor who previously made his debut in the movie, ‘Perfect Game‘.

‘Dream High 2′ will air its first episode on January 30th at 9:55 p.m.

‘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!

I look forward to it,” she said.
