If you're interested in working in the Korean entertainment industry or simply just curious as to how the industry works behind the scenes, these K-dramas will give you an inside look at what happens behind the camera for idols, actors, models, and trainees. They also show the real-life struggles they face off-camera, showing you just how human they actually are. 

 

 

Dream High

 

 

 

You have probably heard of this famous 2011 K-drama about six performing arts high school students who strive to become idols.

*** “Blind” has released a behind-the-scenes video that will be a welcome change of pace for viewers as they get to watch the stars joke around. The new behind-the-scenes video is showing off their chemistry both on and off camera. “Why were you laughing and not getting into character?” Taecyeon asks. “Why were you joking around?” she retorts, and the two end their argument in a fit of laughter.

*** "Dream High" is having a musical production, which is coming on February next year. Art One Company is currently recruiting individuals to join the musical show. This will be held at the National Theater in Haeoreum. I wonder whether its original cast will reunite or will have a special participation in the musical. Who will be playing the lead roles and what the musical will look like.

@TheaN  I feel a bit sad & bad that the series didn't attract many viewers. I guess because "Blind"  time slot (10:40

 

p.m. KST) was a little bit late????

I was also disappointed that it wasn't offered on any of the legal streaming platforms (Netflix, Viki, etc) available to international fans.  At least some asian fans got it on Viu.  It's a hidden gem.

5 K-Pop Idols Who Got Swole During Their Enlistment Period

Fans loved #3’s transformation!

 

Since Korean-born men are required to complete their 18-21 month military service by the time they are 30, there are many male idols who must complete this service while their groups are active. More often than not, these idols come back looking more muscular and in shape than ever! Here are 5 male idols who came back from their military service looking super fit!

 

3. 2PM’s Taecyeon

Taecyeon made headlines for viral photos posted during his military enlistment! His build was much more bulky, so much so that he was called “Captain Korea” by netizens!
