Update with new video:
On April 27th, “Dancing with the Stars Season II” aired its first episode, which served as a prologue to introduce the stars of the cast and their dance partners. Hyoyeon’s partner was revealed to be Kim Hyungsuk, a dancer who participated in the 2012 Taiwan International Open and won first place at the 2007 Gangnam Festival.
The two introduced themselves and held their first practice session together, going over steps for a dance with a style Hyoyeon wasn’t familiar with. Hyoyeon then revealed that though she’s performed many types of dances in the past, she has never danced closely with a partner, and thus wasn’t used to a dance that called for being touched.
Starting next week, episodes of “Dancing with the Stars Season II” will be broadcasted live every Friday at 9:55 PM KST.

Hyoyeon will be joining MBC’s “Dancing with the Stars Season II”, which will begin airing on April 27th. An MBC staff member stated, “After confirming her participation, Hyoyeon has been busy practicing. You will get to see a new side of Hyoyeon.”
Hyoyeon is one of the dancers in Girls’ Generation. Because of this, the producers have high expectations for her. A source stated, “As expectations are high, Hyoyeon has also been practicing a lot. It will be a chance for Hyoyeon to show off free dances unlike Girls’ Generation’s choreography.”
Other stars such as Tony An and actress Choi Yeo Jin will be joining Hyoyeon on the show. Recording for the first episode was finished on April 15th. The first episode of “Dancing with the Stars Season II” will air on April 27th at 9:55pm KST, and live broadcasts of the show will begin May 4th.

Woooooow. Congrats Hyoyeon! Best of luck! I’m looking forward to watching this. LOL /if only i can/ :<
I don’t get it. Isn’t the concept of dancing with the stars is that the celebrities aren’t professional dancers? I mean, Hyoyeon is not a ballroom dancer or anything, but still dancing is her forte.
WOW!!! Daebak! it is so amazing how the girls have a lot of individual activities this year….All SONEs are loving it right?
Can’t wait to watch Hyoyeon do ballroom…
Looks like my to-watch list is going to be longer. i don’t mind though…^_^

I’m sure that Hyoyeon will do well. If at an interview they said that her dancing had toned down, well now, they should see her in this show. I’m getting just as excited as anyone who sees this. Hyoyeon Hwaiting!!!

I’m sooo looking forward to this. I love Hyoyeon and I can’t wait to watch her shine!
AND ALL THE HYOHUNNIES RAN AROUND SCREAMING THEIR HEADS OFF, REJOICING IN THE MOMENT, BECAUSE THIS IS PRETTY FREAKING AWESOME, IT IS
Seriously, this fits her so well. I’ve been so proud of her killer choding antics on IY2, but this–this is just perfect for her. She exudes confidence and charisma on stage, and her skills are top-notch. I am just so over-the-moon about this. I can’t possibly express my excitement on a keyboard, I really do have to run around screaming my head off.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHH HYOOOOOOOOOOOOO <33333
Finally someone notice Hyoyeon.
I love Hyoyeon sooo much and I hope she will show us her powerful dancing skill.
Kim Hyoyeon Fighting!
So what happens in dancing with the stars?
Tbh, I think it must be different from the US version of DWTS–but the US version is like this:
Several celebrities are paired up with professional dancers, and they are given a week to choreograph and practice a certain dance (samba, fox-trot, quickstep, tango, etc.), and are scored by judges, then eliminated the next day based on the judges’ scores and the number of votes called in on the night of the dance.
What’s confusing me is that Hyoyeon fits both the “celebrity” and “professional dancer” categories, which leads me to believe that the Korean version of DWTS is a little different.
It’s the same as the US version. Celebrities (Hyoyeon) are paired with professional dancers and compete against each other. It seems odd for a celebrity dancer to be competing, but Hyuna of 4minute competed in the first season and was eliminated fairly early. It will be great to see Hyoyeon tango!
HyoYeon is dynamite! best of luck!!
Hyoyeon<3
Woo! IY2 and Dancing With the stars! it will be so freaking awesome!
Kim Hyoyeon will kick some butt=]
