A recent photo of SNSD’s Jessica and 2PM’s Taecyeon has become a hot issue on the web.
On August 15th, a photo of Jessica and Taecyeon at a cafe was revealed through an online celebrity message board. According to both of their agencies, this photo was taken at night in Tokyo on August 14th. Dressed in casual clothes, the two stars briefly met up after completing their respective promotional activities for the day.
Representatives from both agencies have said,
“The two of them have already been known for being close. They just drank tea together out of the gladness for meeting in Japan.
They are just close friends. Please do not take this the wrong way.“
Meanwhile, last month, Taecyeon dodgeed questions about how he knew Jessica’s number on ‘Strong Heart‘. Are they just friends, or is this just another “proof shot” that they’re something more?
The fantasy casting for “Dream High: Season 2” has become a hot topic on the internet.
Recently, an online community bulletin started a poll titled, “Dream High 2: Casting that I am definitely hoping for“.
Wonder Girl’s Sohee, 2PM’s Chansung, SNSD’s Yuri, Bae Yong Joon, Im Jung Hee, Ranghyun Rangha, and OneTwo were all candidates for the fantasy casting, with SNSD’s Taeyeon holding 1st place.
Netizens also revealed their hopes for Park Eun Bin to make a recurrent appearance for the second season. The star had made a surprise cameo on the last episode of ‘Dream High‘ as Go Hye Mi (Suzy)’s younger sister, which spawned speculations that the producers had casted her with season 2 in mind.
Netizens also expressed their hopes to see the return of the original cast members (Kim Soo Hyun, Suzy, Taecyeon, IU, and Wooyoung) for season 2.
Meanwhile, a KBS official announced that the winter holiday season is the most probable time for ‘Dream High 2′ to hit the airwaves.
Who would you pick for your ‘Dream High Season 2′ fantasy draft?

Well hello there!
ExquisiteKPOP will be active for only 2weeks. For now, No MORE COVERS COMING FROM OUR DIFFERENT GROUPS BUT INSTEAD, WE WILL BE HAVING A RANDOM AUDITIONS/COLLABS. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL TO AUDITION ON THE DIFFERENT "OPEN AUDITIONS". We are very sorry to our different groups, we just want to give a chance to others. ^_____^
And since it's just a 2weeks, we cannot manage it. So we would like to hire some mixers. To help us. If you are interested please do PM us.
The reason for this is because the netizen wrote that he/she smelled something fishy between Jonghyun and Shin Se Kyung, and this post was made back in October 14th, before the actual news was released.
What’s interesting is that the post’s main point was about the netizen always seeing 2PM’s Taecyeon and SNSD’s Jessica together watching movies, and later on adds that he/she smells something fishy between Jonghyun and Shin Se Kyung as well.
The netizen’s post was titled, “I work at the Coex Megabox and I always see Ok Taecyeon and Jessica coming to watch a movie together… ke ke Possibly dating.. kekeke.”
Below the title, it was commented, “I think they’re dating.. kekekekekeke I also think that Shin Se Kyung and Jonghyun are possibly dating as well… kekekekeke. Throughout my time working here, I saw so many celebrities.. kekekeke Lots of couples… kekekeke.”
In the past, there have been reports amongst netizens that they have seen Shin Se Kyung and Jonghyun dating near Seoul’s Samsungdong, but they were regarded as just rumors. Those reports, mainly this one, has now been seriously looked upon ever since the news broke out about Shin Se Kyung and Jonghyun dating.
Do we have another idol couple here? What do you guys think, let us know in the comments below!
