Dream High 2 unveils its idols-within-the-drama HershE

After casting a slew of idol stars in its high school-age cast, Dream High 2 has put a trio of its leads into an idol group within the drama. The stars who make up the fictional drama threesome are T-ara’s Ji-yeon, Sistar’s Hyo-rin, and newbie Ailee, Wheesung’s protégé who made a splash on MBC’s program Singer and Trainee.

In the drama, the girls make up the idol group called HershE, which I suppose takes the place of Group K in the original series. (Groan at the group name; they’re girls — her, she — we get it.) HershE is the group that transfers to Kirin Art High School and ends up teaming with a boy group already at the school.

I sort of love the description of Ji-yeon’s character as a “terrible actress” who dreams of becoming “Cannes Queen” (a la Jeon Do-yeon). Hyo-rin, on the other hand, lives up to her real-life reputation playing an outstanding vocalist, while Ailee’s character has lots of talent but gets tripped up by her thoughtless actions, making her an idol with a reputation for being conceited.

Dream High 2 premieres on January 30 on KBS.

Below is the poster, flipped:

Wait. never-mind. she is the one who does (or did) a show with Jay Park right? Ahh wouldn't it be cool if Jay Park could do a cameo? But of course given that it is JYP production, that's not gonna happen. :S

nope, Kang Sora is the girl from Sunny, Hyorin is from the idol group Sistar and she was indeed amazing with Jay Park in Immortal song 2.
but I'm wondering what happened to Kang Sora, I hope she's still in the show.

Yes, she is.
They've already finished the first reading of the script and apparently they already filmed the first episode with JYP in it.
Stills posted on allkpop showed her with a messy hair, a tag (that I wish I knew what it meant) and JYP's shoe in her hands being polished.

I like the flipped poster a lot better... and they look a little too old to be high schoolers? Probably due to all the make up though.

I hope they make fun of the group name within the drama because i can't see anyone taking it seriously.
I'm loving how quickly we are getting random shots of Dream High 2, it's making me giddy with excitement and hopeful for some interesting characters, heartfelt moments and great singing/dancing performances!

The poster is interesting, is the flipped image meant to look so... derpy? XD *twiddles my thumbs*

They do look older. Hopefully, in the show they look more the targeted age. Any word of JYP being in this series?

I hope they can pull off the high school look in the drama. They look a lot older than "high schoolers" I hope JYP is in it. I'm anxious to see it, but some what dreading it too because I'm not a fan of Hyorin. I wish I never had gotten into kpop because it has totally distorted my views. I saw Dream High without knowing anyone, so I totally loved them as singers/performers.

No offence but I rather have "proper" or even rookie actors as leading =/
To me, Kim Soohyun as Song Sam-Dong stole the show, more convincing that our idol actors. But meh, I'm open minded, will watch it.

Jiyeon's a pretty good actress, I wouldn't be worried about her.

Agree with you... This feels very idol-ish.... too idol-ish and that makes me worry.

Hopefully some of them will be good. One 'real' actor isn't enough.

Nor do they look high-school-ish at all.

There may be alot of idols, but this IS Dream High. DH1 was full of idols so I wouldn't expect much from it's sequel.

JiYeon seems to be the wild card in the group. Ailee and Hyo-rin both have powerful vocals. Let's see how they act though (anticipating with a slight cringe).

A boy group? I wonder who is going to be in it...

The poster does look a bit cheap but Jiyeon looks hot :P
I dunno why people are worried about a full idol cast. Come on, this is Dream High. It's not that it was unexpected.

I think they can make them look like highschool students if they tone down the makeup, and in any case, haven't you seen how some those 16-18 year old idols look? (Tia from Chocolat, for example) There are teens that look like teens, teens that look like kids and teens that look like adults. And it's not like they're doing it like Romance Town and 49 Days, where they used the adult actors to play themselves in the high school flashbacks lmao (especially the Romance Town flashback, that was hilarious)

Many questions pull at my mind:
Will the music be as kick-ass?
Will the boys be as hot?
Will it be able to sweep us up with surprise twists, if we already predict surprise twists?
Will they fall back to k-drama cliches or pull some new and original character interactions, like DH 1?

But the real important question: will they be able to afford heating this time?
