Dream High Ep. 3 (Patreon)

In this episode, Oh‑Hyuk is given a mission by President Jung to recruit Go Hye‑mi, Jin‑guk, and Sam‑dong into a “special class” at Kirin Arts High School, hoping they’ll become something more despite their flaws. Hye‑mi flirts with the idea by trying to get Sam‑dong to come to Seoul, but he declines. Jin‑guk struggles with his own family issues and health concerns, adding pressure to his decisions. Meanwhile, Baek‑hee shows more of her competitive side, taking risky, shady steps to try to win favor and the solo spot at the school’s opening ceremony.

The episode ends with the school opening ceremony: Hye‑mi and Jin‑guk wait anxiously to see if Sam‑dong will show up, wondering if he’ll follow through on his promise. Baek‑hee’s ambition and desperation are on full display, especially given what she did to try to secure the solo spot.
