“Dream High” to host ticket giveaway for their mini-concert

Earlier, allkpop reported that the cast of KBS 2TV’s “Dream High” would be holding a special mini-concert on February 24th. Well the producers have some very exciting news for fans – “Dream High” will distribute free tickets for the event!

Considering how the OST concert for “Secret Garden” concluded with great success and profit, it’s unusual that the “Dream High” staff decided to proceed with a free concert.

Representative Yang Geun Hwan explained, “We have no thoughts on making money through a concert.” He explained that their goal is to return the love they’ve received from the viewers through this concert.

That’s not to say that they didn’t consider making a profit. Yang asserts that if they did go down that route, they would’ve used the profits garnered to buy instruments for students who are like the Kirin Arts High School students. Ultimately, however, the staff decided that free admission was the best way to go.

Starting February 10th, the producers of “Dream High” plan to distribute tickets through a lottery system after viewers register on their official website.

The ‘Dream High Concert’, which will be held at Goyang Aram Nuri Hall, will feature 2PM’s Taecyeonand Wooyoung, miss A’s Suzy, T-ara’s Eunjung, and IU. Naturally, the concert will also guest non-singer idols as well, like actor Kim Soohyun, producer/singer/actor J.Y. Park, and actor Uhm Ki Joon.

Producers are planning to film the concert and use the footage for the special broadcast on March 1st.
