Korean idol Jeong Jinwoon of ballad group 2AM was able to stay warm on the set of "Dream High" because of the advice from 2PM's Taecyeon who starred in the first season of the show.Jeong made the remark during the press conference for the second season of KBS' "Dream High" held in Seoul on Tuesday where he told reporters how JYP Entertainment labelmate 2PM's Taecyeon helped him fight the cold."It is pretty cold on set and Taecyeon (who played Jin-kook in the first season) gave me several tips on how to stay warm such as where to place the hot packs on my body," Jeong said laughing.He added that Taecyeon bought him shoes that had fur on the inside and gloves and that both him and that Wooyoung (who played Jason) shared their know-hows on how to be on set while 2AM bandmates Jo Kwon and Seulong, who already expanded their careers into acting, were understanding."Since Jo Kwon starred in sitcom 'All My Love' and Seulong in movie 'Acoustic,' they know what it is like to have to balance acting and singing and they were really helpful when I was practicing my lines."When asked how he felt about his first acting role, Jeong responded, "It is a huge burden...... I am also worried because I don't want to act poorly and disappoint the audience who have high expectations for the show since it did so well during the first season."The first season of "Dream High," which also starred Kim Soo-hyun, miss A's Suzy, T-ara's Eun-jung and IU, raked in viewership ratings in the 18 to 20 percent range during its two-month run in January 2011.It was also sold overseas to Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam and Cambodia while it scored several wins at award ceremonies in Japan.In the new season, Jeong will take on the role of Jin Yoo-jin who dreams of becoming a rock star that attends Kilin Art School. He will be a part of a group of regular students that will go up against two popular idol groups at their school in a music competition.The show, also starring Kang Sora, T-ara's Jiyeon, SISTAR's Hyolyn and After School's Kahi, will air every Monday and Tuesday night starting January 30.※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
