In the little we’ve seen of Kim Soo-hyun in the new youth drama Dream High, all we’ve seen is his rural bumpkin character dressed up curiously like a homeless man — one lit up by Kim’s boyish charm, but a homeless man nonetheless. But thanks be, we’ll get to see him sporting a more kempt appearance soon, according to these new stills.
Below is how we’ve seen him thus far, sporting his homemade burlap-sack hoodie:
His character will soon leave his teeny hometown for the glitzier environs of Kirin Art School, and “starts to take off as a kkot-minam [pretty boy].” Korea does love their ugly-duckling stories; we’ll see another transformation occur with IU’s character, who was introduced as a cute, plump ragamuffin with the voice of a diva, and will eventually emerge from her cocoon looking more like the real IU.
Kim Soo-hyun’s new appearance can be seen in the drama’s 3rd episode, which airs next Monday, the 10th. His character falls for bratty Hye-mi (Suzy) and therefore needs no prodding to follow her back to Seoul to join up with the other new students at Kirin. However, Hye-mi isn’t quite as eager to receive his affection as he is to dole it out, and the first place she takes him to is the hair salon. After his makeover, even she’s stunned to see the hotness hidden underneath his shaggy hair and shabby clothes. (But we saw your value, Kim Soo-hyun! Your noonas had faith!)
I have no idea what happens after that, but man, I’d just LOVE to see Hye-mi stewing after she’s shown her disdain, only to have him become way more popular than she does (she’s entering the school handicapped by her horrid audition, which everyone witnessed firsthand). Sure, she’ll probably come around and soften up as the drama progresses — there’s nowhere for her to go but up, really — but just for a moment, it’ll be nice to savor the self-absorbed brat getting a taste of karma.

Adorable and gorgeous. This boy-man has also only one way to go in his career – up. Swooning after him doesn’t make me feel as guilty as drooling over Yoo Seung Ho. Not that I’ve ever drooled over Yoo Seung Ho…
that’s true!! He is young but not that young. YSH is really the noona-killer for me because of his age. ^^
aren’t they both ICOMYM members? then it’s ok right?! right?!!?
man, the ICOMYM is gonna be sooo active this year. taec and lee min ho and yoo ah in (is he legal?), YSH, etc…
we should get IDs, ladies. LOL
Don’t worry they’re legal. We won’t face any jail time (*crosses fingers*)
What is ICOMYM?
ICOMYM = Inappropriate Crushes On Much Younger Men.
the noonas and ajummas obviously created it.
i can’t be part of it considering i’m younger than the men.
He he he! I didn’t know we had a name for it. Awesome. Just wait klites, you will be a member before you realize it. It sneaks up on you. Sigh.
LOL. They should also create ICOMOM
I’m a young 15 yr old drooling over these guys who are too old for me T-T
I was only ranting yesterday to myself that the man should get a hair cut. & my, does Soohyun look heaps younger than his 22 years. I hope to see more of him in Dream High. =)
he looks not yet legal! so cute!
*squee*
yea he does look younger then 22, soo i dont feel to bad for drooling….just a little bit.
yay!!! i’ve been dying for more Kim Soo-hyun. i can’t believe the show only gave us a glimpse of him in the last 5 or so minutes of ep2, making us wait another week for his next appearance. *sob*
he looks gorgeous in those shots btw.
I’m so excited. I’m already really intrigued by his character. I hope I see him more.
It’s wrong how much I want to molest him right now. What a lovely boy. :O
And I actually kinda liked his homeless man look, it was cute. XD
me too! i love the cury hair of his =)
I’m not calling myself noona, JB, makes me sound so old and over eagerly but I do have faith in you KSH.
I watch DH because of him and I would love to see HM in-your-face moment. I love HM’s character though, don’t know why when she asked Mr. Emperor (Jung) ‘Please save me’ awww…I loved her.
ohhh but he’s so cute as a bumpkin!!
i’m going to enjoy him chasing hyemi around like an EXTREMELY CUTE puppy.
i think he’ll be the one to put her into her place.. this will make for some good bickering.. and some caving in on both sides leading to really sweet moments. CAN’T WAIT!!
There’s only one reason why I’m watching DH…and it’s for Kim Soo Hyun. He’s just too adorable (the fact that he has loads of acting talent and charisma doesn’t hurt either) and I can’t wait to see more of him. I’m so glad though that he is finally a lead in a drama!
WOW! CUTENESS!
totally baby-faced! I’ve been thinking he was about 19 years old until I found out he should be about 22 right now! And he even looks abt 16-17 in some of the pics!
I can’t wait till he gets more screen-time.
Yeah he seriously looks young – around my age!
It’s amazing what a haircut can do
After watching his few minutes on screen, I really want to watch Dream High now =)
Another Oppa to dream about =D
Dream High really makes us wait for their star to grace the screen right?? I mean the PD probably new he is the ACE of the show.. that’s why in the 2 eps that aired.. his screen time is very limited.
That’s a strategy that could mean ratings gold for them next week, when his character gains the focus of the show. Smart alecks…
oh im glad,
i could still screaming KSY oppa ^-^
he is the only reason why i watch dream high LOL~
Heh. Cute! Oppa is just the right age for me too. Ahjumma, I mean ladies, step aside (;
What does Ahjumma mean? Those foever young ladies!
Now this makes me happy hehehe I was almost ready to drop this drama after the first two episodes…. goshhh I want hotness not hot mess
second last picture really did it for me. I especially love him in Dream High episode 2 where he swings her arm up in the air.. omo, Kim Soo Hyun can dance??
The uglifying of Kim Soo-yun is similar to America Ferrera’s in Ugly Betty in that THEY ARE STILL PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING even with ridic clothes and doofy hair.
i know, right? you can mess up the hair, and give them those hideous outfits, but you’ll never be able to hide that kind of pretty, honey. *swoon*
“(But we saw your value, Kim Soo-hyun! Your noonas had faith!)” ….Dear Javabeans, I know I haven’t said in a while but you have my heart (the internet one that is). AWESOME COMMENT IS AWESOME!
such a great find come 2011 for me!! He’s radiant on screen, no matter how he looks or whatever style, clean or unkempt! still HOTNESS emerge!!
He looks more handsome like that ♥ (i say more cuz i still found him good looking with the messy hair =) )
But..Why is he in the admissions class?? (last picture)
Can’t wait for Hye-mi’s shocked face when he becomes like that =D
He’s 22?! Oooh then I don’t feel so bad anymore
i can’t wait. he’s the shining star of this drama. i’m sorry, but this drama is really lacking in the acting department. i can’t wait for more kim soo-hyun on screen. this guy can REALLY act!!! <3
well javabeans really needs an excuse to post something about kim so hyun so who am i complain when i am getting to see my favourite actor for a whole series. and i can’t wait for hye mi’s reaction as well.
his jaws and neck are too sexyyy *weird i know
haha i actually really liked his hobo hair!
He’s Just so Cute…. I mean, I loved him in WISFC and now he’s just so adorable. He has the look of an actor, a real and genuine one. I wish him all the best, though I don’t trust this TV show AT ALL. No offense team Taec, but I’ve seen him in Cinderella’s Sister and, as most of you share the same sentiments – all of you, DONT LIE TO YOURSELVES-, realized that pretty boys with good dancing skills cannot act.
*SQUIIII*
I really like his cute country boy image too! But his Seoul boy image is just too TEMPTING!!!
He is like the older version of Key, but he is younger looking and has a less sharper face!
In Conclusion, I FREAKIN LOVE HIM!!!! ahhhh!!! cant wait for episode 3!!!
He should be K.. he looks awesome..
I just watched episode one of DH last night and, needless to say, I can’t wait to see someone with real acting chops on screen. Boy am I happy it’s going to be Kim Soo-hyun! Doesn’t hurt that he’s actually 22, so I don’t feel TOO bad about my massive noona crush on him. *__*
I’m pretty sure he’s going to be the scene-stealer in this drama, and maybe it’ll pave the way for an adult leading role in the future. *Swoons after imagining KSH in a suit*
Seeing this lil cutie patootie makes me wish I was about 7-8 years younger. Thank goodness he’s of age that way this Noona wouldn’t feel bad swooning for him.
Bring on the transformation! Hey….at least it’s a guy this time and not a Cinderella girl with a new hair do and shoes. I can swing with this
soooo cute
bring onnn episode 3. please >.<
cant wait to see him (along with all the other cast) actually starting to train. im expecting more of singing, dancing and KSH, less gangsters, chase scenes and BYJ.
Becoming a fine lad….
wow I like him, he’s so cute and we are the same age lol I am already hook on this drama because of the two male leads, him and Taecyeon they are dreamy
actually, i don’t dislike suzy’s character. She’s bitchy, yeah, but I don’t think excessively so. Everyone she’s blown up at has deserved it, for the most part. Except for the big blow out with her ex-friend, but even there she was partially right; why should she have to fail if her friend failed?
I do like him very much, everytime we will see his character develop, fun and gorgeous, hope he will be happy at the end..fighting..
