Goo Hara’s teary acceptance speech deemed ‘beautiful’ by viewers

KARA’s Goo Hara recently won the runner-up award for the ‘Show/Variety’ category at KBS’s “2010 Entertainment Awards.”

Clearly surprised over her win, Goo Hara walked to the stage in an utter daze, her eyes wide with amazement.  After collecting herself, she began her acceptance speech, stating, “I’ll be receiving this award thankfully, since I am receiving it in the midst of such amazing seniors.  I’ve earned so many things through ‘Invincible Youth‘.”

As she wrapped up her speech, her eyes began brimming with tears, showing the worth of the achievement to viewers.

When she first joined the show in October of last year, she was considered to be the least known member out of KARA.  A year and two months later, she’s managed to create an entirely new ‘brand’ for herself and has grown into one of the most identifiable stars of the industry.

Goo Hara was known to have worked harder than anyone else on the show, and showcased a lot of determination. Her level of interest in farming and the way she skillfully managed to drive rice-planting tractors surprised the viewers immensely.

She was also much loved by the Yuchiri villagers for her lovely personality and caring heart.

It was only through such efforts that she was able to achieve the win, and although the show came to an end on December 24th, Goo Hara’s mark on the show won’t be forgotten by the viewers.

“Dream High” reveals two posters!

Producers of KBS 2TV’s “Dream High” recently revealed two official posters for the drama.

The first exhibits the connection between Park Jin Young and Bae Yong Joon. Located beside their images, short description tags hint at their roles in the drama. Bae Yong Joon’s states, “His ruthless challenge,” while Park Jin Young’s states, “and his hot passion have met.”

An interesting point to note here is where the graphic designer placed the tags. Bae Yong Joon, the drama’s creative producer, has the tag lined up with his eyes; Park Jin Young, the drama’s music and dance director, has his tag looking as if it was  being shouted out from his mouth. Both lend a clever visual interpretation of their roles.

The second poster features the main cast of the drama, the students of ‘Girin Arts High School’.  The students are depicted to be running after their passions and dreams.

Suzy plays the role of ‘Hyemi,’ a girl dreaming of becoming the ‘2nd Sumi Jo‘. Unfortunately, she is unable to hold her head up high because of her father’s bankruptcy.

Kim Soo Hyun plays the role of ‘Pil Sook,’ an innocent and naive country boy who harbors a hidden talent.

Ok Taecyeon plays the role of ‘Jin Guk,’ a rough and rebellious student who lived without dreams in the shadow of his father. By becoming a student of ‘Girin Arts High School’, he learns to ‘dream high’.

Eunjung plays the role of ‘Baek Hee,’ a girl who is always overshadowed by ‘Hyemi’, and so always dreams of becoming stronger than her rival.

Wooyoung plays the role of ‘Jason,’ an international dance student that excels in his genre, and IU plays the role of ‘Pil Suk,’ a girl whose ‘ugly appearance’ prevented others from recognizing her talents.

These characters can be met on ‘Dream High’s pilot episode, which will air on January 3rd, 2011.
