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.

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

A man undercover but you tore him apart
