It looks like ’Pilsook‘ is back for a brief moment in the sequel to popular TV series, ‘Dream High‘!

‘Hyesung‘ (Kang Sora) visits the broadcasting station to visit idol group Eden, but ends up being disappointed as the concert falls apart due to laws limiting late-night shows. While she bumbles along, Hyesung accidentally bumps into Pilsook (IU), and requests an autograph.

According to producers, the cameo really was an accidental meeting. After hearing that the ‘Dream High 2‘ staff was filming nearby, IU decided to check in and readily accepted a quick role on the spot.

Reportedly, IU plans to make another official appearance at the next opportunity.

IU’s surprise cameo will be seen in the pilot broadcast of ‘Dream High 2′ on January 30th!

Super Junior member Leeteuk shared an older photo of himself where he sported a longer hairstyle.
The singer posted the photo above on January 29th and wrote, “There was a time in my life when I had this kind of look. I’m an MC now, so I usually wear one hairstyle. Should I grow it out again?”

In the old photo, the younger Leeteuk sported a long, layered look and reminded fans of a character in a romantic comic.

They seemed to take a liking to the longer hairstyle as they wrote, “You look younger“, “I miss this look“, “So handsome“, and more.

In related news, the singer recently caused some concern after tweeting that time off from work makes him depressed. He is also featured on the popular MBC variety program ‘We Got Married‘ with on-ar wife Kang Sora.

Do you prefer his older long hairstyle over his current one? Let us know below!

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.

KBS will air the first episode of “Dream High 2” on January 30 at 9:55PM KST.

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!

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.”

Leeteuk and Kang Sora are also on the departing list since Kang Sora has ‘Dream High 2‘ recordings to focus on, while Leeteuk is preparing for military enlistment this year.

A producer of ‘We Got Married’ stated, “The response towards the current couples aren’t bad at all. We know that adding in a bunch of new couples will be looked on upon badly so we’re going to start right from the beginning and see how it goes from there. The exact time frame of when we’ll be switching out the couples has yet to be decided.”

KBS’s upcoming drama, “Dream High 2,” has released a new group photo of the main six cast members today. But all of the members, except for the two lead roles, Jinwoon and Kang So Ra, are facing away, leaving many fans questioning the identity of the rest of the cast.

We already know Jinwoon, Kang So Ra, Hyorin, and Park Ji Yeon will play major roles in the drama. However, the two male casts shown in the picture standing on opposite ends are still unknown, except for the fact that they will be part of the group, “Eden,” in the drama. Their tall heights (Jinwoon is 185 cm or 6’2), unique fashion style and bleached hair indicate another star in the making, yet the production team has not released any additional information regarding their profiles.

“’Dream High 2’ will not just feature actors and pop idol stars, but also some rookie celebrities. Their explosive energy will create another new star, much like Kim Soo Hyun from the original ‘Dream High.,’” a staff official told local media.

We’ll get to find out who “Eden” is at the press conference scheduled for January 17. The first episode of “Dream High 2” will air on January 30. Can you guess who they are?

Anticipation for the pilot broadcast of ‘Dream High 2‘ just got kicked up a notch with the release of the drama’s first still-cuts!

Actress Kang Sora is seen busily running errands and cleaning shoes with a sign on her chest that explains she’s being punished for coming to school late.

But why is being late such a big deal? In ‘Kirin Arts High School’, the gates are zealously guarded by teacher ‘Yang Jin Man’ (J.Y. Park). He finds out that she’d been out all night at an idol group concert and punishes her by making him clean his stinky shoes and pots.

Kang Sora earned the praise of staff around her for not being afraid to scruff up her image for the sake of her role. She also showed smooth chemistry with her castmates and warmed up the film set with her lively personality.

A photo of Kang Sora on the set of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Dream High 2‘ has quickly become a topic of interest.

Eagle-eyed netizens noticed that the actress sported a short, curly hairdo that seems a little out of place for her role as a high school student. She was dressed in a long down jacket and a blanket to keep herself from freezing in the cold weather. Also captured in the photo was actor Kwon Hae Hyo.

Netizens commented, “That hairstyle is not suited for someone who is still a student“, “Looking forward to Dream High 2“, and “What does the sign across her neck say?”

The beloved actress from MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘ will be starring alongside T-ARA‘s Jiyeon, 2AM‘s Jinwoon and SISTAR‘s Hyorin in the main roles. ‘Dream High 2′ is scheduled to air its pilot episode on January 30th.

The four main lead roles for the upcoming KBS drama “Dream High 2” has been finalized, raising the anticipation level for the highly popular teen drama. SISTAR’s Hyorin, 2AM’s Jinwoon, T-ara’s Ji Yeon, and actress Kang So Ra will play significant roles in the second season of “Dream High,” bringing yet another star-studded lineup to the show.

Kang So Ra will play the role of Shin Hye Sung. After making her name through movie “Sunny” and MBC “We Got Married,” Kang So Ra has become one of the fastest up and coming actresses in the industry. “So far I only focused on my acting, so I feel pressure that I have to give dance performances too. But I think it’ll be a huge challenge so I feel both nervous and excited,” she said.

2AM’s youngest member Jinwoon will star as Jin Yoojin, a troublesome kid that aspires to be a rock star. “When I first read the script, I was really attracted to the rock star character. Especially, the fact that we’re both huge rock fans pulled me into the role. I’ll do my best to play it as best as I can,” he commented of his casting.

T-ara’s Ji Yeon is slated to play the role of Rian, a member of girl group Hush that dreams of going to the Cannes, despite her shortcomings in acting. She’s already appeared in several TV dramas, which brought positive reviews, and is expected to add strength to the drama series with her mature acting.

Nana, a gifted singer with various skills, will be played by SISTAR’s Hyorin. Nana is the lead vocal for Hush, but has a secret past and is expected to play a key role in turning around the storyline at the end of the season. “I feel more attached to the Nana character because we have similar personalities. I look forward to it,” she said.

The first season of “Dream High” cast some of the most popular idol stars, including 2PM’s Taecyeon and Wooyoung, miss A’s Suzy, T-ara’s Eunjung, IU, and Kim Soo Hyun, leading to some of the highest TV ratings. In addition to these four stars, Park Jin Young, Choi Yeo Jin, and Kim Jung Tae have also joined the casting crew for Season 2. The first episode will air on January 30, so stay tuned for more information!
