Soprano Sumi Jo performed a charity concert in Korea called Sumi Jo's Christmas Gift. Cast members of the television show Dream High, including Suzy (from the girl group miss A), Taecyeon (from the boy band 2PM), Eunjung (from the girl group T-ara) and musical actress Um Ki Jun, joined the soprano on stage. 

Musical selections performed were "Tonight" from West Side Story, "O Holy Night," "Feliz Navidad," "Blessings on Christmas," a Korena language medley of hits that included "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Silver Bells," as well as "Chacun le sait" from La Fille du Régiment. At one point in the concert, Sumi Jo got up to sing (and dance) to the pop song "My Ear's Candy" by Baek Ji Young. The program was aired on KBS 2TV.

Sumi Jo also appeared on an episode of Dream High singing the "Flower Duet" from Lakme with Goo Hae-mi (played by Suzy of miss A), whose character hopes to be the next big opera singer. This was her first acting role on television. Dream High, a co-production between Korea's top entertainment firms KEYEAST and JYP Entertainment, is a 16-part mini-series about the dreams of students who attend a performing arts school with the story lines relayed through song and dance.
