[[RE-POST]] Jung Yonghwa addresses rumors of relationship with Park Shin Hye

CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa addressed the rumors going around him and actress Park Shin Hye!

On June 23rd, MBC “Heartstrings” held a press conference. At the press conference, Jung Yonghwa stated, “Like my drama character Lee Shin, I never fell in love with a teacher nor professor.”

He continued and stated, “However I did have a one-sided love with a person who was about the same age as me so I know how hard it is to have a one-sided love. In ‘You’re Beautiful’, I was the character of Kang Shin Woo who had a one-sided love. Whenever the scripts came out, I always became sad because Kang Shin Woo never revealed his heart and true feelings. However, my new character is bold and confident. That’s why I really like him.””

Jung Yonghwa denied the rumors about him and fellow cast mate Park Shin Hye being in a relationship stating, “Shin Hye is like one of our members. I highly doubt I will ever date her.”

Park Min Young sports a ‘winter goddess’ look

Popular actress Park Min Young recently updated fans with a new selca photo revealing her changed hairstyle yet again.

Netizens that viewed the photo exclaimed, “Is that a wig? Still beautiful!“, “Too adorable“, and “Short hair or long hair, you look beautiful sporting anything“.

‘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

Dream High 2

The four main lead roles for the upcoming KBS drama “Dream High 2” has been finalized, raising the anticipation level for the highly popular teen drama. SISTAR’s Hyorin, 2AM’s Jinwoon, T-ara’s Ji Yeon, and actress Kang So Ra will play significant roles in the second season of “Dream High,” bringing yet another star-studded lineup to the show. 

Kang So Ra will play the role of Shin Hye Sung. After making her name through movie “Sunny” and MBC “We Got Married,” Kang So Ra has become one of the fastest up and coming actresses in the industry. “So far I only focused on my acting, so I feel pressure that I have to give dance performances too. But I think it’ll be a huge challenge so I feel both nervous and excited,” she said. 

2AM’s youngest member Jinwoon will star as Jin Yoojin, a troublesome kid that aspires to be a rock star. “When I first read the script, I was really attracted to the rock star character. Especially, the fact that we’re both huge rock fans pulled me into the role. I’ll do my best to play it as best as I can,” he commented of his casting. 

T-ara’s Ji Yeon is slated to play the role of Rian, a member of girl group Hush that dreams of going to the Cannes, despite her shortcomings in acting. She’s already appeared in several TV dramas, which brought positive reviews, and is expected to add strength to the drama series with her mature acting. 

Nana, a gifted singer with various skills, will be played by SISTAR’s Hyorin. Nana is the lead vocal for Hush, but has a secret past and is expected to play a key role in turning around the storyline at the end of the season. “I feel more attached to the Nana character because we have similar personalities. I look forward to it,” she said. 

The first season of “Dream High” cast some of the most popular idol stars, including 2PM’s Taecyeon and Wooyoung, miss A’s Suzy, T-ara’s Eunjung, IU, and Kim Soo Hyun, leading to some of the highest TV ratings. In addition to these four stars, Park Jin Young, Choi Yeo Jin, and Kim Jung Tae have also joined the casting crew for Season 2.

Drama ini bercerita tentang seorang biarawati bernama Go Mi Nyu yang terpaksa harus menyamar menjadi kakak laki-lakinya Go Mi Nam untuk bergabung dalam sebuah band terkenal A.N.Jell. Di sini peran Yong adalah sebagai Kang Shin Woo salah satu member band tersebut yang kemudian jatuh cinta (lebih tepatnya bertepuk sebelah tangan) pada Mi Nam. Ada kisah menarik dalam mendapatkan peran ini dimana Yong harus bersaing dengan Min Hyuk yang juga member C.N.Blue. Sayangnya sang sutradara menolak Min Hyuk dan lebih memilih Yong karena alasan wajah Min Hyuk yang terlalu cute untuk memerankan tokoh tersebut. Dari drama ini juga Yong mendapatkan penghargaan pertamanya dari SBS Drama Awrds sebagai artis pendatang terbaru.

Setelah mengakhiri perannya di drama "You Are Beautiful", Yong kemudian lebih banyak tampil di acara variety show yang salah satu paling terkenal adalah perannya sebagai 'suami' Seohyun SNSD di acara We Got Married pada bulan Februari 2010. Di sini dia dan pasangannya harus berpura-pura menjadi sepasang suami-istri. Yong yang kala itu belum mengenai Seohyun pun malu-malu pada awalnya. Namun seiring berjalannya waktu, mereka bisa saling terbuka. Image Yong yang sabar dan perhatian menghadapi sang 'istri' yang bisa dibilang lumayan membenci pria (soalnya dulu Hyun lebih milih makanan ketimbang cowok ganteng kayak Song Seung Hun) mulai menarik perhatian penonton. Yup, begitu pun Seohyun yang perlahan tapi pasti bisa dekat bahkan dia mulai bisa memilih makhluk hidup (cowok) dibanding makanan kesukaannya yaitu goguma alias ubi manis dan karena itulah mereka mendapatkan julukkan 'sweet potato couple' atw 'goguma couple'. Namun semua harus berakhir pada bulan Maret 2011 kemarin. Jadwal mereka berdua yang tambah padat menjadi salah satu alasan acara ini berakhir dan mereka pun 'bercerai'.

Lalu di Juni 2011, Yong kembali berakting untuk sebuah drama yang temanya gak jauh-jauh dari musik yaitu "Heartstrings" atw "You've Fallen For Me" dan kembali bertemu dengan Park Shin Hye setelah sebelumnya mereka beradu akting di "You Are Beautiful". Bedanya di drama ini mereka diceritakan nantinya menjadi sepasang kekasih yang pada awalnya telibat 'hate-love situation'. Banyak yang bilang kalau drama ini merupakan karma buat peran Go Mi Nam nya Shin Hye karena kali ini dirinyalah yang harus bertepuk sebelah tangan pada Yong. Peran Yong sendiri adalah sebagai Lee Shin, seorang mahasiswa jurusan musik yang punya band beraliran cadas bernama 'The Stupid', sedangkan Shin Hye kebalikan dari dirinya yaitu sebagai Kyu Won, mahasiswi jurusan musik juga tapi ke arah musik tradisional dan sangat mahir memainkan gayageum (alat musik tradisional Korea seperti kecapi) dan punya grup bernama 'The Invicible Flowers. Dramanya sekarang masih berlangsung di Korea dan silahkan baca sinopsisnya di Pelangi Drama ini.

Terlepas dari bernyanyi dan berakting, Yong juga menjajal kemampuan sebagai seorang MC. Dia sudah lumayan banyak menjadi pembawa acara yang khususnya di acara musik. Meski dirinya mengaku sering berbuat kesalahan saat melakukannya, namun dia tetap berusaha memberikan performa terbaiknya. Selain itu, Yong juga sempat menjadi model iklan. Baik itu sebagai model majalah atau pun merek tertentu, maka jangan heran kalau dia suka nampang dimana-mana, nyehehehehe.

Bagaimana pun besarnya kesuksesan seseorang pasti diimbangi dengan masalah yang pernah menghinggapinya seperti pengorbanan batinnya saat melihat sang ibu secara tidak langsung sebenarnya kurang mendukung cita-citanya sebagai seorang musisi. Dia ingat kalau ibunya hanya bilang padanya untuk mencoba hal yang disukainya dan lihat bagaimana selanjutnya. Yong sangat terharu ketika ibunya datang pada saat tampil perdananya. Meski lampu sorot menyilaukan matanya, tapi Yong yang sedang manggung tetap berusaha mencari keberadaan ibunya di tengah kerumunan para penonton. Selain itu juga belum lama ini Yong didiagnosis mengidap 'vocal fold nodule' dan 'acute laryngitis' yang menyebabkan dirinya harus dioperasi karena hal ini tentu sangat mempengaruhinya dalam bernyanyi. Tapi syukurlah semua itu bisa dilewati Yong dengan baik hingga akhirnya dia pun bisa seperti sekarang.
