JYP Entertainment’s single eyelid stars gain attention

For those familiar with K-pop and beauty standards in Asian countries, you know that double eyelids are one of the most obsessed about factors in one’s appearance. However, JYP Entertainment‘s single eyelid stars have recently been gaining attention as examples of celebrities who have no problems shining even without the coveted double eyelids.

On April 25th, an online community post titled, “JYP stars with single eyelids” surfaced with the above photo.

The post features four highly prominent stars that are part of the JYPE lineup, which include Jinwoon of 2AM, Wooyoung of 2PM, Sohee of Wonder Girls, and J.Y. Park himself.

Jung Jinwoon plants a kiss on…

 

Jung Jinwoon & Kang Sora shared a ‘button kiss’ on KBS 2TV‘s ‘Dream High 2‘.

On the episode that aired March 5th, Jin Yoo Jin’s (Jung Jinwoon) button fell off his uniform, causing Shin Haesung (Kang Sora) to remark, “What are you, an elementary school student?”, sewing his button back in place.

Seeing this feminine side of Haesung, Yoo Jin’s heart began racing unexpectedly. He tried to walk away from the situation but pulled by his emotions, he plants a kiss on Haesung’s cheek. The two could not overcome the awkwardness that inevitably arose, and began hilariously bickering like young children.

The love lines between Jin Yoo Jin, Shin Haesung, JB, and Rian are already extremely complicated, but looks like the ‘button kiss’ will only make things more interesting.

Actress Kang Sora, SISTAR‘s Hyorin, T-ara‘s Jiyeon, and 2AM‘s Jung Jinwoon have all confirmed that they’ll be taking part in the sequel series to the popular teenage drama.

On December 6th, the producers of ‘Dream High 2′ and CJ Media announced that Kang Sora would be taking on the role of ‘Shin Hye Sung‘, an awkward and somewhat weird idol aspirant who learned music solely through effort.

Kang Sora, who plans on showcasing her strong acting abilities through this new role, commented, “I’ve only acted until now, so having to perform on stage as well is honestly a burden. However, I’m both nervous and excited because this will be a new challenge for me.”

Hyorin will play the role of ‘Nana‘, a student with amazing talent and natural abilities. Hyorin mused, ”Nana has a broad-minded personality that is similar to mine, so I have an attraction towards her character. I’m looking forward to it.”

Jiyeon will play the role of ‘Lian‘, a member of the popular girl group, Hush, who aspires to one day be the “Queen of the Cannes Film Festival”, but lacks the acting ability to do so. Jiyeon revealed, “I’m receiving a lot of pointers from Eunjung, who participated in the first season. I already have a warm blanket prepared to withstand the cold at Kirin High School.”

Lastly, Jung Jinwoon has plans to showcase his cute charms through his role of ‘Jin Yoo Jin‘, a bragging troublemaker who aspires to be a rockstar. He stated, “I felt an attraction to the role of Jin Yoo Jin as soon as I read the script. I like the character more because of the fact that he likes rock, just like me. I will try my best to bring out the character’s charm.”
