‘Dream High 2′ reveals official poster

‘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 allkpop for updates!

Latest still cuts of ‘Dream High 2′ show differences from the first season

KBS‘s ‘Dream High 2‘ has released new photos that show a dramatic transformation compared to its first season.

The first difference is the school. In season one, ‘Kirin Arts High School’ was known as one of the most luxurious, high-end schools for the industry.  The school takes a downward turn in the second season, looking run down and on the brink of collapse.

A famous entertainment company is threatening to purchase the school in Season 2, forcing the kids to step up their act for survival.

The format has also undergone a change. The first season primarily focused on individual competition, but this time, the focus is on the team. ‘Eden‘ and ‘HershE‘ will be at the center of the competition, with smaller rivalries between Kang Sora, Jinwoon, Jiyeon, and Hyorin.

There’s a bigger diversity in character backgrounds as well. From the talented Kang Sora to Jiyeon, who can’t act out a proper line, to vocalist Hyorin, and finally the rebellious Jinwoon, they all have interesting back stories to share that will help move the plot along.

‘Dream High 2′ airs on January 30th.
