“Dream High” valued more than “Chuno”

The hit drama “Dream High” has also become widely popular overseas.

Recently, it was revealed that KBS 2TV’s “Dream High” was exported to Japan at a higher price than “Chuno“. On February 10th, KBS Media’s Director of Overseas Business, Lee Hyo Young, stated,“The broadcasting rights to ‘Dream High’ have been sold to Japan, as well as Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia.”

He revealed, “The price of exporting ‘Dream High’ was higher than last year’s highly popular drama, ‘Chuno’. Through ‘Dream High’, viewers can enjoy both K-pop and drama, which is why its value has increased.” Although there are no Hallyu stars, 2PM’s Ok Taecyeon and miss A’s Bae Suzy have been attracting much attention.

Through observing the export process of ‘Dream High’, one can clearly sense the strength of K-pop and the potential Hallyu stardom of Taecyeon and Suzy. It was also revealed that contracts are in the works to export ‘Dream High’ to Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia.
