KBS has finally confirmed that their popular teenage drama series, “Dream High“, will get a second season!

On March 17th, a representative from KBS spoke through TV Report and revealed, “We will be producing a second season for ‘Dream High’, and it will feature stories about the youth generation. This has been in discussion since the conclusion of season one.”

He continued, “Whether we’ll be casting rookie idols like ‘Dream High’ and ‘Jungle Fish,’, or whether we’ll be going through an audition process is still up for discussion. There’s a high probability that the season will begin airing in January of 2012, just in time for winter break.”

So what might change for “Dream High Season 2″? The representative did not reveal much, but said, “The original format of ‘Dream High’ was great, so we’re planning to carry it over.”

T-ara’s Jiyeon has been criticized for her stage manners during the group’s performance on KBS’s “Concert 7080” on December 26th.
Viewers have been expressing their disappointment with her blank face, and the insincere manner of how she performed the choreography.
Jiyeon appeared aloof through both performances of “Yayaya” and “Like An Indian Doll“, which eventually lead to KBS’s message board being flooded with discontented viewers.
One viewer commented, “I don’t know whether Jiyeon had personal issues, but she’s still a celebrity and it was uncomfortable watching her. She really needs to become more professional.“ Others wrote, “T-ara needs to write an apology…,” and “I thought Jiyeon was a pro, but it seems I was wrong. Was the 7080 concert not important enough for her?”
Online community site Instiz has also uploaded a video of the broadcast, heating up the controversy even further.
Core Contents Media addressed the issue, “Ever since their ‘YaYaYa’ promotions, the members have had a packed schedule with preparing for the year-end festivals and filming their reality show. Getting barely two hours of sleep, we feel helpless as people who look over them.”
However, they could not deny that Jiyeon’s actions during the broadcast were inappropriate. “Jiyeon has a more punishing schedule than the other members due to her drama filming for ‘Jungle Fish 2‘. But we believe that she herself needs to put in more effort in regards to showing these kind of images.”
