Who got to debut in group ‘K’?

KBS 2TV’s “Dream High” will finally debut their much-awaited idol group on this week’s episode!

‘K’ makes an impressive debut with their title track, ‘with K‘, which virtually dominated every major music chart. Indeed, the group became so popular that the individual members have each garnered a formidable fanbase as well.

Ever since the spoiler’s release, viewers have been especially curious over how ‘Jin Guk’ managed to debut, since he’s just a student in ‘entrance class.’ Much attention is also being put on his other ‘entrance class’ friends, and what will be happening to them since they did not make the cut to debut.

Get the questions answered by tuning in at 9:55 PM KST on January 31st.
