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.

Who wore it better: Sooyoung or Sohee?

Members from two popular girl group have been spotted wearing the same clothing.

Girls’ Generation member Sooyoung and Wonder Girls‘ Sohee were spotted by fans wearing the same outfit.

In a recent MBC “Quiz that Changes the World” episode, Sohee wore a little black dress with a cute hairstyle. The whole look fit her very nicely.

Sooyoung wore the same outfit on the Japanese TV program “Hey Hey Hey“. Although it’s the same outfit, Sohee made it look more cute, whereas Sooyoung made it more mature with her straight hairstyle.

Netizens wrote, “Because of their image, they both have different feels with the clothing”, “It looks different but it suits them both”

02. Sleigh Ride - TVXQ

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too.
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling ‘yoo-hoo.’
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
Let’s go, let’s look at the show,
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
It’s grand, just holding your hand,
We’re gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be.

Let’s take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

There’s a birthday party
At the home of farmer gray
It’ll be the perfect ending a perfect day

We’ll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop,
By the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop.

There’s a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy,
When they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie

It’ll nearly be like a picture print
By currier and ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives.

These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too.
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling ‘yoo-hoo.’
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

03. Distance - BoA

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
The winter when we fell in love

I know it wasn't our time
we had to go our separate ways
You don't know that silently I
was crying out for you to stay

The years come and go but I'm still alone
My tears like snowflakes falling without a sound
I wish I was with you now

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
Catching us in the snow

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
The winter when we fell in love

Your name frozen on my lips
Icesicles pierce in my heart
Now I wait and send out my wish
To find out wherever you are

The years come and go, but I'm still alone
My tears like snowflakes falling without a sound
I wish I was with you now

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
Catching us in the snow

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
The winter when we fell in love

There's nothing more than I would want
Than to feel the warm embrace of your love
But I have faith in the promise that you've made
And in the frosted window I,
I'll see your trace

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
Catching us in the snow

When it snows outside on this winter night
I'm looking for a trace of you
I'll never forget the time that we've met
The winter when we fell in love

06. For The First Time - Kangta

I loved you, the first time I saw you
Now my heart will fall always stay true
The beauty of your smile, it brings tears into my eyes
So grateful for the days that we shared

You saved me, the first time I kissed you
You showed me, a world that was brand new
You brightened up my day, there’s so much I want to say
I don’t know, just where I am to begin

I believe I dreamed you into life
I waited here for you to shine a light
My heart painted a picture
A beautiful design, of you and I

When I see my love reflected in your smile
It’s so magical that words cannot describe
I feel like a child looking at the sky
For the first time

For all the joy, you’ve opened my eyes to
You’re the one, whom always see me through
Your little hand in mine, we both stand the test of time
Together, I’ll never leave your side

I believe I dreamed you into life
I waited here for you to shine a light
My heart painted a picture
A beautiful design, of you and I

When I see my love reflected in your smile
It’s so magical that words cannot describe
And I feel like a child just looking at the sky
The first time, Oh first time

So innocent and beautiful
You’re everything I could wish for

I believe I dreamed you into life
I waited here for you to shine a light
My heart painted a picture
A beautiful design, of you and I

When I see my love reflected in your smile
It’s so magical that words cannot describe
I feel like a child looking at the sky
Baby you’re the reason why
In your love I cannot lie
For the first time

07. The TRAX - Like A Dream

Do you remember when love was new
We met in Spring time,
the flowers were in bloom
Promised we would last forever
By September love grew colder

Seasons changed
Now every touch feels so strange
Wanna rewind to the old times
Before the apathy in your eyes

I’ll bite onto your lips,
I’ll bite onto my lips
Cause what we’ll say
I think I already feel it

Don’t let us fade into black,
baby don’t do that
Wanna make you see what I mean

Remember when your lips
would get onto my lips
Yeah what we had was something
good and we’ll miss it

Don’t say goodbye, we’ll make it right
Just the way we want it to be,
just like a dream

The air is full of unspoken words
Or just so many predictable answers
But it ain’t like we’re together
For better or for better

How can I survive
If I were to leave it all behind
I’ll be drifting, slowly fading
I need you there to feel I’m alive

I’ll bite onto your lips,
I’ll bite onto my lips
Cause what we’ll say
I think I already feel it

Don’t let us fade into black,
baby don’t do that
Wanna make you see what I mean

Remember when your lips
would get onto my lips
Yeah what we had was something good
and we’ll miss it

Don’t say goodbye,
we’ll make it right
Just the way we want it to be,
just like a dream

Our love has only faded
in the passing time
Another fling would be a wasted time
I only want you to be mine
Take my hand,
Baby what do you say

I’ll bite onto your lips,
I’ll bite onto my lips
Cause what we’ll say
I think I already feel it

Don’t let us fade into black,
baby don’t do that
Wanna make you see what I mean

Remember when your lips
would get onto my lips
Yeah what we had was something
good and we’ll miss it

Don’t say goodbye,
we’ll make it right
Just the way we want it to be,
just like a dream
Whoa whoa, Oh it’s like a dream

Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay
In fields where they
lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night
that was so deep

Born is the King of Israel

Born is the King of Israel

Born is the King of Israel

10. CSJH The Grace Dana & Sunday - Amazing

If I could paint the warmest winter morning
If I could paint the brightest bluest sky
If I could grasp the beauty in a moment
And describe the way it makes me feel inside

But the words are just so empty
And my drawing’s not complete
So once again
I stand alone and say

It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and my heart is overflowing and complete
It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and now I know the greatest gift of all

If I could paint a newborn baby sleeping
Paint a mother’s love for her child
Oh if only I could capture all those feelings
And photograph the beauty with my eyes
Oh the love and the joy
and the giving
Sometimes I can’t help myself and cry

It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and my heart is overflowing and complete
lyricsalls.blogspot.com
It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and now I know the greatest gift of all

Once again, I surrender
Cause I can tell myself
I stand amazed, by the love and grace
So grateful for all I am

It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and my heart is overflowing and complete
It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and now I know the greatest gift of all

It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and my heart is overflowing and complete
It’s so amazing, truly amazing
and now I know the greatest gift of all

INFINITE’s L to star in new drama, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’

INFINITE‘s L will make his acting debut in a new drama, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band‘.

The drama will air on cable channel tvN after the completion of ‘Flower Boy Ramyun Shop‘.

As the cable channel seems to be using the idea of ‘flower boys’ in their recent dramas, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’ will tell a story of a rock band with a more rugged style. A drama representative stated, “This drama will become a drama with a different flower boy atmosphere than the one shown in ‘Flower Boy Ramyun Shop’. It will show the appeal of a rock band of young boys.”

Along with INFINITE’s L, the cast also includes boys who auditioned in tvN’s audition program, ‘Oh Boy Project‘.

The drama will air its pilot episode on January 30th. But check out the trailer in the meantime!
